Question
My baby has a bit of a cough, and the examination shows tracheitis. Can I give my baby honey citron syrup to relieve the symptoms?
Answer
According to your description, your baby may have a common cold and upper respiratory infection. The doctor does not recommend medication treatment but has prescribed ointment. However, you are concerned that your baby’s condition has not improved and are asking whether you can give your baby honey citron syrup, or if you can feed your baby through breastfeeding to consume the honey citron syrup. It is suggested that you can try giving your baby honey citron syrup while also ensuring they drink plenty of plain water, keep warm, and avoid catching a cold. If necessary, you can also perform nebulizer inhalation therapy. I hope these suggestions can help your baby recover soon.
