Can babies take cold medicine?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Can babies take cold medicine?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to take Pu Dilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid, Lanqin Oral Liquid, and Biyuan Shu Oral Liquid (primarily for treating runny nose). The dosage for each is 5ml per time, three times a day. It is best to also take Vitamin C tablets, one tablet per time, once a day.
There are many precautions to note:
Dietary aspects:
- Drink more water.

- Do not consume yogurt or Yinluedu.
- Avoid chocolate candies.
- Do not drink cold drinks.
Lifestyle aspects:
