Can I Rub Brandy On An 8-month-old Baby's Chest And Back In A Moderate Weather Climatic Condition To Treat Mild Cold And Vomiting?
Brief Answer:
Not advisable. Instead, oral antihistamine medications are needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Such maneuvers are not advisable. They might cause more harm than benefit.
The child requires a short course of oral antibiotics and antihistamine medications to control the symptoms.
Please check with your physician if s/he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications to her.
Post your further questions if any.
Thank you

Thank you doctor. I will certainly check upon the same. Kindly advise the harmful effects of applying brandy in order to understand myself and to explain others too if recommended.
Also around 3 am in morning my baby pooped extremely watery. He seems to be hungry as either he is pooping watery or puking after having any feed. I gave him 21 number combination medicine which is homeopath as suggested by elders however i felt after giving that his poops became too watery. Please advise urgently as to what could have caused this along with few harmful effects of applying brandy please. It will be helpful in future too.
