Patient's question:
The baby is two months old and has had a cold for a few days with nasal congestion. They don't want to take medicine, so we've been giving them herbal baths and pediatric acupuncture for several days. Their spirits are good, but they're eating very little formula. What should we do? Is it necessary to go to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to explain your question. According to your description, your baby has again shown cold symptoms. After a cold, the digestive and absorption functions of the body are significantly reduced. When feeding, be careful not to overfeed—just 2/3 of the usual milk amount is sufficient. You can also give your baby some probiotics to help regulate intestinal function. Bathing with medicine can be quite effective for a baby's cold, but be sure to make sure your baby drinks plenty of water to enhance metabolism. I hope my explanation helps you. Wishing your little one a healthy and joyful transformation!
