Patient's question:
My baby is 25 days old and has been having a lot of heat lately. When she was first born, I gave her some Huanglian (a traditional Chinese herb) in water to drink. Recently, her voice seems a bit hoarse, and she seems uncomfortable and cries frequently. Others have suggested giving her some honey water. Could I give her some honey water? Also, could she drink Huanglian water?Doctor's answer:
This consultant. Based on your baby's condition, it is inferred that the estrogen contained in honey water is not recommended for such a young baby. You can give your baby a little sugar water instead. The baby is likely to be calcium-deficient. Hoarseness is not recommended to feed the baby with Scutellariae Radix. The above is advice on the question "Can a newborn 25 days old drink honey water?", hoping it helps you, wish you health!
