Drink onion decoction to treat nasal congestion

Recently, my baby often has a stuffy nose and has difficulty breathing. Is there any safe food or treatment? Nguyen Thi Van (Hai Phong)

MSc. Dr. Nguyen Thi Hang, Vietnam Academy of Traditional Medicine answered:

Currently, the weather is changing seasons, there is fog at night, cold weather at night and hot during the day causing many children to have stuffy noses.

In addition to using medicine, you can give your child onion decoction, drink 2-3 times a day, a small cup each time, drink for about 2-3 days to see the effect. The reason onion is effective in treating nasal congestion is because it has a spicy, sweet taste, warm properties, good antibacterial effect, and has no side effects.
