Question
The child is now two weeks old and only drinks because of the cough, not the medicine. Now it’s a bit serious, so I have to put the medicine in the walnut milk they drink. I don’t know if this is okay.
Answer
The child’s cough may be caused by a respiratory system infection, and if it persists for too long, it can easily lead to tracheal or lung diseases. It is recommended to have a chest X-ray taken as soon as possible and to take appropriate symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and cough suppressants as prescribed by a doctor. As for whether medication can be mixed with walnut milk, it depends on the nature of the medication and the doctor’s advice. Generally, some medications can be mixed this way, but please note that this should not affect the efficacy of the medication.
