Question

I saw a home remedy online for treating a child’s runny nose, “Boil scallion whites in water and give it to the baby to drink. It’s the white part at the root of the large scallion, and it’s best to boil the root as well, but it’s not very easy to clean, so I usually just cut off the root for convenience, haha~~ Boil two scallion whites with about two bowls of water, and you can add some rock sugar for flavoring. The baby stops running a nose after drinking it for one or two days.” I want to ask, is this method scientific? My child is five months old, and we’ve tried many medicines without any effect. Will this method work, and are there any side effects? Thank you.

Hello: If there has been no contraception, pregnancy can occur as soon as seminal fluid is introduced. Of course, if the woman is not in her ovulation period, pregnancy is unlikely. I suggest further observation; if your period is delayed, go to the hospital as soon as possible. Wishing you health!
