Question
If a baby has been scratching its ears for no apparent reason in recent days, what should be done if a 45-day-old baby has a stuffy nose with thick mucus?
Answer
If the mucus is clear, you can feed the baby some scallion, ginger, and rock sugar water to relieve wind and cold symptoms. It’s also important to drink more warm water. As it’s getting cooler in the morning and evening with the arrival of autumn, be sure not to let the baby catch a cold from the chill. Pay attention to keeping the baby warm. If the child has symptoms of fever, diarrhea, or abdominal pain, it’s important to check and confirm the diagnosis promptly for treatment. It is suggested to test the baby’s temperature and combine it with acupuncture treatment.
