Question
A recent parent inquiry asked what medication should be given to their 3-month-old baby who is experiencing a cough and runny nose.
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the baby may be suffering from symptoms caused by a wind-cold cold, which is often due to catching a chill and is more common during autumn and winter. It is suggested to use traditional Chinese medicine “Jing Fang Bai Du San” for treatment, and to remind parents to have the baby drink plenty of water to aid in recovery. Additionally, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended that parents take the baby to see a doctor for professional diagnosis and treatment.
