Patient's question:
My baby is now ten months old. A week ago, she accidentally caught a cold and it hasn't gotten better. Could you please tell me what kind of complementary foods are suitable for a ten-month-old baby with a cold?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the description, during a cold, the diet should focus on light and easily digestible foods, such as congee, noodles, lotus root powder, milk, soy milk, oranges, cabbage, radishes, etc. Drink plenty of water to promote excretion, get adequate rest, and maintain fresh indoor air with suitable temperature and humidity. Most colds are caused by viruses and have a certain duration, typically lasting about seven to eight days. Cold medications only help you feel more comfortable and generally do not shorten the course of the illness.
