Doctor's answer:

The glucose contained in oral glucose can digest calories in the body and has a protective effect on the liver; B vitamins 1 and 2 are important components of coenzymes required for the decomposition metabolism of sugar, protein, and fat, and are essential for the oxidative action of cellular respiration; B vitamin 6 is a cofactor for various coenzymes, participating in the decomposition metabolism of amino acids and fat; vitamin C participates in the hydrolysis processes in the body and cellular respiration; vitamin D2 enhances the absorption and distribution of calcium and phosphorus and promotes new bone formation, maintaining and regulating serum calcium and phosphorus levels.
Recommendation: Children must be used under adult supervision. High doses may cause restlessness, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Occasionally, skin flushing, itching, and yellow urine may occur. "Nausea" is a specialized term in traditional Chinese medicine. If symptoms such as sore throat, red eyes, stuffy nose, dry mouth, sore tongue, cracked lips, nosebleeds, and toothache occur, traditional Chinese medicine considers it "nausea." Commonly used heat-clearing and fire-reducing herbs include rhubarb, coptis rhizome, and phellodendron. "Nausea" can be alleviated through dietary adjustments, and "food therapy" has a unique effect.
