My 10month old LO is having flu now. Mil suggest to give baby drink 'Ling Yang' (antelope's horn /Cornu Saiga tataricae) water and barley water. Is it ok?

Ling Yang and Barley are both cooling drinks, so I'm not sure if it will assist in flu recovery. I use the same method as Siow Yeng, which is to spray sterimar then suck with a nasal aspirator. Besides that, at night I use a home remedy of placing a cut onion in my LO's room. It's said that onions have amazing antibacterial and antiseptic properties, so by placing a raw onion placed next to a sick person could suck the sickness right out of them. Not sure how true it is, but it's very effective for my LO. You can try if for 2 nights and see if it helps. Speedy recovery to your LO.

I think Lin Yang is ok for bringing down fever but if your LO is eating western Med already I don't think should have Lin Yang. As for barley water I suggest not to give. Barley is cooling but it creates phlegm. The best way for flu is to use sterimar to cleanse his nose often and use pigeon nasal aspirator (suck type) to get rid of the mucus especially the sticky one as much as possible. PD May give flu Med so that LO can sleep better

There is a difference between heatiness and common cold. Flu doesnt mean tat the body is 'cold'. The older generations always think tat if u r sick, it means ur body is heaty. I would advise not to. Juz continue taking e meds. If e meds doesnt cure him, change another doctor. Or juz drink more warm water will do.

Its very cooling for baby. So advise not to give at 10months.. Its too young

Im ok with barely. But not Ling Yang. It's way way too cooling for a baby

Lin Yang helps to cool the body. is baby taking anything else?
