Question
How do I handle a 8-month-old baby’s cough and runny nose?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby may have contracted a virus, leading to symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, and slight fever. It is recommended to give the baby plenty of warm water to drink and administer children’s paracetamol pseudoephedrine granules twice a day. For diarrhea, you can try using Dinggui Er umbilical cord plaster, using it continuously for two to three days. At the same time, you can use the hot drink method to clear the lungs, allowing the baby to drink warm beverages such as warm water, milk, or rice porridge. You can also offer the baby apple juice and pear juice, which are less irritating.
