When a baby gets a cold, it usually has stuffy nose, runny nose, and fever, and refuses to eat. Qi Zijun's approach is to cook chicken soup immediately as long as the baby's fever is controllable, without taking the baby to the hospital. Qi Zijun's experience is that the effect is good!
Modern medicine in English emphasizes objective evidence. Have any professionals studied the efficacy of chicken soup on colds? After searching, the following experiments are worth a look
In 1978, Marvin Sackner, a medical doctor at Mount Sinai Hospital in the United States, proposed an experiment to prove the efficacy of chicken soup. The experiment compared the effects of drinking chicken soup, drinking hot water, and drinking cold water. The results showed that after drinking cold water, the flow rate of nasal mucus decreased significantly from 7.3 mm/min to 4.5 mm/min; after drinking hot water, the flow rate of nasal mucus increased from 6.2 mm/min to 8.4 mm/min; after drinking chicken soup, the flow rate increased from 6.9 mm/min to 9.2 mm/min. It was concluded that drinking chicken soup can alleviate symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose. Scientific research also shows that chicken soup has the effect of reducing congestion.
