Question
What should I do if my six-month-old baby is coughing yellow phlegm?
Answer
A common cold or flu is often caused by wind pathogens, which may be accompanied by other pathogens such as cold, heat, or dampness. The treatment should focus on dispelling wind and using herbal medicine based on the specific condition of the illness and the baby’s constitution. It is recommended to use medicine under the guidance of a pediatric acupuncturist. Once the wind pathogens are removed, nasal congestion will naturally improve.
