Question

What should you do if the baby coughs but doesn’t like honey water?

Answer

If the baby is experiencing coughing but shows a preference for not drinking honey water, it could be indicative of a wind-cold cold. Such coughs are typically frequent, with thin, white phlegm, accompanied by nasal congestion and clear runny nose. The tongue coating may appear pale red, and symptoms might include severe coughing, headache, fever, and even rapid breathing. In this case, consider using Sanao Soup in conjunction with herbs that reduce Qi and resolve phlegm.
