Question
Recently, our baby has a cold with coughing and yellowish sputum, and also has a lot of mucus in the nose. We have the habit of giving the baby formula milk before bedtime. Will this affect the condition?
Answer
When a baby is coughing, it is recommended to first observe if there is a fever or other symptoms of the common cold. If it’s just coughing, it may be due to catching a cold. If the cough is severe, pay attention to whether there is phlegm in the baby’s throat. Some babies may have phlegm due to internal heat, and consider using formula milk with prebiotic ingredients such as Similac Pro Advance, which can improve the intestinal flora, prevent constipation and internal heat, and avoid common problems like excessive phlegm in babies.
