Question
How to deal with a 6-month-old baby’s cough, runny nose, and diarrhea?
Answer
If the baby coughs continuously when sleeping, raise its head to alleviate the coughing symptoms. Change the sleeping position frequently, alternating between left and right sides to help expel respiratory secretions. Drinking plenty of warm beverages such as warm water, warm milk, or rice porridge can also be beneficial. Offering fresh juices like apple juice and pear juice can help thin out mucus and relieve tension in the respiratory mucosa. Place a Dinggui Er navel sticker on the baby’s navel at night, using it for 24 hours each time and changing it every three days.
