Question

My baby is 14 months old and seems to have caught a cold recently. What should I do? She seems to have a fever, runny nose, phlegm in her throat, and slight cough. She has been taking medicine for 3 days, but there has been no improvement.

Answer

  1. Drink plenty of fluids: This helps in easing the release of the virus. If your baby doesn’t like plain water, you can add juice or tea to flavor it.
  2. Cabbage and Carrot Soup: Cut 500 grams of cabbage hearts and 120 grams of carrots into slices. Boil with water until 400 milliliters remain, then add a suitable amount of brown sugar. Drink 200 milliliters each time, twice a day, for three to four days to recover.
  3. Apple Honey Water: Peel and chop 5 apples into pieces, boil with water for 5 minutes, let it cool naturally to 40 degrees Celsius, then add a suitable amount of lemon juice and honey, stir well. Drink small amounts multiple times a day. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
