Question
My baby was born a few days ago, and lately, I don’t know what’s wrong, but they keep scratching their ears. What should I do if my baby has a runny nose?
Answer
Your baby’s condition might be due to wind-cold cold, which is caused by catching a chill from the wind. This type of cold is more common in autumn and winter. It’s recommended to use Jing Fang Bai Du San for treatment and to drink plenty of water. For nasal congestion, you can take oral antihistamines to relieve the symptoms. It’s important to maintain balanced nutrition by eating fresh vegetables and fruits, avoiding spicy foods, drinking plenty of water, ensuring adequate rest, and promptly supplementing with various vitamins and trace elements. Treatments such as calcium and folic acid supplements can also be beneficial.
