Can babies drink garlic and rock sugar water?

Babies should not drink garlic and rock sugar water. Garlic seems to contain a lot of allicin, and it is very irritating. Babies are relatively young and their gastrointestinal development is not very complete. If they drink garlic and rock sugar water, it may cause certain irritation to the baby's gastrointestinal mucosa, and may even cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

Garlic and rock sugar water has high nutritional value. It can relieve cough and reduce phlegm, moisten the lungs, and have a bactericidal effect. When using it, garlic and rock sugar are stewed together in a special container. It can help with colds caused by wind and cold. Garlic is a commonly used condiment. It contains a lot of protein and trace elements such as calcium and iron, which can effectively enhance the body's immunity and kill bacteria. Garlic contains capsaicin, which can enter the lungs and has anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects through the liver, gallbladder and lung meridians. However, it is not suitable for infants and young children to drink. If infants and young children have a cold caused by wind and cold, they should drink more warm boiled water to promote the body's metabolism.

During the treatment of a cold, the baby should take measures to keep the body warm, add or remove clothes in time, keep the indoor air circulating, open windows frequently for ventilation, and give the baby more easily digestible liquid food to avoid spicy stimulation that aggravates the condition. If a fever occurs, it can be relieved through physical cooling. After exceeding 38 degrees, take antipyretic drugs as prescribed by the doctor.
