Question
My child is 12 months old and weighs 14 pounds. They keep having recurring colds, coughs, and runny nose that won’t go away. The baby has been taking calcium supplements for a year and took Tai Chi Shen concentrated granules for a month. They still have hard stools every 5 days. This is the result of a thorough check-up. What should I do?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, the baby may be experiencing frequent colds and coughs due to a weak spleen and lung, which can lead to reduced immunity. According to clinical experience, using Xiao Chaihu concentrated granules for tonification might yield good results. I suggest giving it a try and also paying attention to the baby’s daily diet adjustments.
