Question

Can babies take zinc and calcium supplements when they have a cold?

Answer

Babies can take antiviral medications such as Platycodon grandiflorus and Isatis indigotica, as well as Shuangxiang San and Gancao tablets. They can also drink herbal teas made from Ophiopogon japonicus, Lily bulb, and Lonicera japonica. If there is phlegm, rifampin can be taken, and it’s important to drink plenty of water. The sugar pill (poliomyelitis vaccine) is used to prevent poliomyelitis, also known as infantile paralysis. Another sugar pill can be taken. Avoid using hot water.
