Due to the weather and the relaxation of epidemic policies, many children have been infected with the Omicron strain , or suffered from respiratory diseases such as colds.

Allowing children to eat some delicious complementary foods can relieve cough symptoms. This not only reduces the chance of going to the hospital for secondary infection, but also avoids the child's painful emotions when taking medicine. It can also relieve the child's cough symptoms. It is simply a way to kill multiple birds with one stone.
