Patient's question:
The night before yesterday, I woke up to find the baby's blanket kicked off. They were only wearing a sleeping bag. When I woke up in the morning, they had a little runny nose. This morning, it seems like there's a bit more runny nose than yesterday. Can the baby drink scallion-white ginger water in this condition?Doctor's answer:
You need to handle the issue of green onion water correctly. You can give your child brown sugar water or garlic boiled water (boil 2-3 cloves of garlic in water for 15 minutes. Older children can be increased appropriately to 7-8 cloves of garlic). This can warm the lungs and relieve nasal congestion. Or, cut a piece of scallion and place it under the child's nose for them to smell. The pungent smell of scallion can relieve nasal congestion. It's cold now. We should pay attention to keeping the baby warm. Drink more boiled water. It's usually best to give the baby some lactoferrin to boost immunity and prevent respiratory bacteria.
