Cold is a common disease, and people may catch a cold if they are not careful. Especially for babies, they are the most susceptible to catching a cold. After a child catches a cold, they may experience many symptoms such as coughing, nasal congestion, and runny nose. Drinking some scallion water to the child can alleviate these symptoms. So, at what age can babies drink scallion water?
At six months old, babies can drink scallion water. When making scallion water for children, you can add some brown sugar in moderation, which can make the scallion water more effective. After drinking scallion water, babies can effectively alleviate their cold symptoms. However, parents should be aware that some babies may be sensitive to scallion water, so parents should not give it to their babies to drink.
The method of making scallion water is very simple. First, take 2-3 scallions and boil them in water. You can add a small piece of ginger and some brown sugar, and boil them together for about 10 minutes. When the scallion water is warm, you can give it to the baby to drink.
If the child has a severe cold and wind cold, they should seek medical treatment because the effect of drinking scallion water is not obvious at this time. If the child has already developed a fever, do not feed them with scallion water. At this time, parents should do their best to reduce the fever as soon as possible by first physically cooling the child. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic medication should be used.
