Question

The baby was born just a few days ago and has been constantly scratching their ears. Can a September baby with a runny nose drink cordyceps soup?

Answer

Hello, based on the symptoms you described, your baby may be suffering from a cold, which is causing the runny nose. Symptoms often include nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, and sneezing. It is recommended to use symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for treatment and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. Additionally, avoid taking the baby to crowded places and keep the indoor air circulating. Depending on the baby’s symptoms, consider using anti-inflammatory eye drops for treatment. The diet should be light and avoid spicy or irritating food. You can also complement the treatment with cooling and detoxifying Chinese medicine. Maintaining a positive mood is helpful for the baby’s healthy recovery.
