Ginger ale is not recommended for 5-month-old infants with colds, because at this time the development of the infant’s stomach and intestines is not perfect, if you drink ginger ale, not only can not be absorbed, but also may irritate the infant’s intestines and stomach. Ginger water is helpful in relieving some of the colds, but due to the relatively young age of infants, the development of gastrointestinal function is not perfect, it is not recommended to give infants ginger water during the cold. In particular, the high sugar content in ginger water may irritate the infant’s intestines and stomach, resulting in nausea, vomiting and other aspects of discomfort. Parents need to take their babies to the hospital for a checkup to determine the cause of the cold and then treat the symptoms to avoid delaying the baby’s condition. The medication should be taken in accordance with the doctor’s instructions.
