Patient's question:
Lately, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work.What should I do if a 10-month-old baby has a runny nose and stomach issues?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to use dietary methods to alleviate treatment. Use rice water to mix with formula to relieve diarrhea. Ginger and brown sugar water is a basic dietary method for dispelling colds. If the child has a fever, adding scallions can help induce sweating and reduce fever. If the child has a cough, replace scallions with garlic to warm the lungs and stop coughing. For deficiency-cold cough, add fried eggs with sesame oil and ginger paste every night to tonify the kidneys, moisten the lungs, and dispel colds. This is very effective.If a small infant has nasal congestion and difficulty breathing, it not only causes poor sleep and crying but also makes feeding difficult, leading to poor appetite. In this case, the mother can use a warm towel to (apply to the nose) or use infant cotton swabs dipped in infant oil to gently clean the nasal plugs and mucus. Nasal aspirators available on the market can also be used.
