Question
Can a 14-month-old baby with a cough drink chicken soup?
Answer
A 14-month-old baby with a slight cough can drink some chicken soup in moderation. However, to avoid indigestion, the amount of chicken soup should be appropriate. Additionally, you can give the baby some pediatric lung-clearing syrup to help clear the lungs and moisturize them. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the lungs and large intestine are interrelated internally, so babies with fever and cough are prone to digestion and absorption problems. In such cases, it is best to stick to light meals, but drinking a small amount of chicken soup is not harmful. Wishing the baby a healthy growth and happy New Year. I hope these suggestions can help you, and wish you good health!
