Question
What should parents do if their baby has yellow nasal discharge? Are there any simple methods to alleviate the symptoms?
Answer
Garlic paste on the soles of the feet is a traditional remedy that is said to reduce internal heat and unblock meridians, which may help alleviate the symptoms of yellow nasal discharge. Parents can apply garlic paste to their child’s soles for 30 to 60 minutes. Some children may see results after just one application. If the first attempt is not effective, they can try again after three days; generally, the symptoms will be significantly reduced. However, this method should not be used more than twice. If there is no improvement after two attempts, it is advisable to seek medical assistance.
