Question
Since the baby was four months old, she has been suffering from diarrhea and cold symptoms every one or two months. Now, at seven and a half months, she has caught a cold again, accompanied by severe nasal congestion, coughing, and runny nose. She has already undergone treatment, including vaccinations and medication (including drugs containing rimantadine), but the cold symptoms still persist. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
The baby has been experiencing diarrhea and cold symptoms every one or two months since she was four months old, which may indicate a weak digestive system and spleen-stomach deficiency. In terms of treatment, it is first important to avoid feeding the baby cold or raw foods and to pay attention to medication usage. Consider giving the baby Shenshen Baisu Powder and Baole’an or long-term probiotics to help regulate the digestive system. Additionally, medication should not be overused. I hope these suggestions can be of help to you, and wish the baby a healthy recovery!
