My 10 month old baby has been having flu for 2 months. Runny nose n coughing with phlegm. Took med for 2 months but doesn't seem to work. Turning to tcm. Is it ok to give pearl powder to reduce phlegm?

Actually 10mo seems too young for tcm medication or herbs. impt to keep ur baby's shoulders n sole of feet covered... esp in infantcare or if baby sleeps in aircon room. as for main caregivers at home like u or daddy or grandma or helper... they should all wear masks to keep themselves fr catching it n passing bk to baby. mommy, are u still bf-ing ur baby? if so, u urselve must abstain fr cold drinks as it will be pass onto ur lo.. this advice was given by tcm physcian. so it is impt for u to watch ur own intake when baby is unwell if u are still nursing lo. hope ur baby gets well soon. jiayou.
