Patient's question:
A good friend's baby has been born for 40 days. The little one has been crying a lot these days, especially at night. They sleep fitfully, always waking up suddenly, and their stomach also makes noises. I want to ask if it's okay to give the baby umbilical wind powder at 40 days?Doctor's answer:
This product clears heat and dispels wind, calms shock and expels phlegm. It is used for newborn babies with internal heat caused by fetal fire, leading to easily startled sleep, restlessness and crying, fever with red face, coughing with excessive phlegm, constipation, and convulsions. This is the main effect of this medication. If the baby exhibits symptoms to this extent, such as restlessness, poor appetite, excessive phlegm, and coughing, this can be used. Additionally, it is suitable for babies, and it contains cinnabar, so the dosage should not exceed five days.
