Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently they have been scratching their ears for some unknown reason. Please ask how to handle it if the baby is 45 days old and has thick nasal mucus that won't come out.Doctor's answer:
If it's for clearing nasal mucus, you can feed the baby some scallion white stalks mixed with ginger and brown sugar water to alleviate wind-cold colds. It's also important to drink more warm water regularly. Additionally, since it's getting cooler in the mornings and evenings as autumn approaches, make sure to keep the baby's stomach warm and avoid letting it get cold. Pay attention to keeping warm.Regarding the child's symptoms, if there are signs of fever, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, it's important to get checked promptly for a diagnosis and treatment. I recommend taking the baby's temperature and combining it with acupuncture treatment.
