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, can she drink Huanglian water?Doctor's answer:
This consultant. Based on your baby's condition, it is inferred that the estrogen content 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 suffering from calcium deficiency. Hoarseness is not recommended for feeding the baby with Scutellariae Radix. The above suggestions are for the question "Can a newborn who is 25 days old drink honey water?" and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
