What kind of assistance is needed: Please reply online.Doctor's answer:
So young a child, when taking cold medicine, it's important to be cautious and use Western medicine as little as possible. Chinese medicine can be used, and it's best not to combine several different medications at the same time.Suggestions: At this time, drink more water, such as rice soup or millet porridge, and eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as fruits and vegetables, while avoiding greasy foods.
The following methods are also very effective:
- Wash feet with warm water
- Use hot water to steam the nasal passages
Method: Fill a basin with hot water, place your face above the water without touching the surface, and breathe in for a few minutes. Repeat this many times a day.
I also strongly recommend that you feed the child more milk. First, ensure that you are well-nourished. If your nutrition is insufficient, the quality of your milk will decline. Although the child may still be full, they will lack nutrients. In addition to providing complementary foods, you can also add formula milk. It's also best to start weaning the child, as by November, the quality of breast milk may not be as good. After weaning, the child will eat more.
