Question
My baby has a runny nose, coughs, and has phlegm. Is it effective to use carrot honey water to treat the cough?
Answer
For a mild cough in babies, consider using children’s expectorant cough granules as they are safer and more effective. Long-term use of carrot honey water may weaken the spleen and stomach, so it is recommended to avoid using it for babies under one year old. If the cough persists or is accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as fever, medical attention should be sought promptly.
