The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. I'm wondering if it's harmful for a 1-year-old to consume soy sauce daily.Doctor's answer:
A one-year-old child experiencing cold and cough symptoms can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine without any issues. It's important to give the child plenty of fluids. Additionally, over-the-counter herbal medications tend to have fewer side effects. I recommend using Xiao'er Ganmao Granules or Keke for treatment, or consulting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe herbal remedies based on the child's symptoms.Many infants in this stage may experience calcium deficiency due to insufficient gastrointestinal absorption. Parents can administer small amounts of calcium supplements and AD pills, and ensure the child gets adequate sunlight exposure.
