What kind of help do you want:
My daughter has been coughing for a while, and she has been taking medicine, but the effect is not obvious. Now she occasionally coughs. Can children drink some refreshing and thirst-quenching tea? If they don't cough, can children drink some tea normally? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
During the period when the child is taking medicine, it is recommended not to give the child tea. It is generally harmless to give the child small amounts of light tea regularly, but if infants and young children frequently consume tea or drink strong tea, it may interfere with their health. The caffeine and other substances in tea may stimulate the central nervous system. Infants and young children who drink strong tea may experience increased deep sleep, excessive energy, and reduced physical consumption, which can interfere with their growth and development. The tannins in tea can cause constriction of the gastrointestinal mucosa and hinder the absorption of nutrients.
