Question
This morning, I found that one of my baby’s eyes is full of eye boogers. What should I do?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby might be suffering from a cold, particularly a wind-heat type. It is recommended to give your baby some cooling and detoxifying medicine, such as antiviral oral liquid, Yinyao Jiedu Granules, or Fufang JinYinHua Granules. If your baby has a cough with phlegm, you can also administer pediatric QingFei LiangXue Granules for treatment. In addition, you can make tea with mint, licorice, chrysanthemum, honey, and mulberry leaves to help cool the body and relieve coughing. Also, ensure your baby consumes fresh vegetables and fruits like bitter melon, pears, loquat fruit, apples, etc., and avoid eating too much greasy and irritating food.
