Question
How should a 13-month-old baby be fed to stay healthy? They have issues with phlegm, runny nose, and constipation.
Answer
For a 13-month-old baby, if they have phlegm, they can take fresh bamboo decoction or pediatric Mahan Gan granules. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to undergo intravenous fluid therapy. Additionally, it is suggested to give the baby a mixture of walnuts, sesame seeds, red dates, and honey, one spoonful each in the morning and evening, to help treat persistent coughs, bronchitis, asthma, and pediatric constipation. Long-term consumption can enhance the baby’s constitution.
