Patient's question:
Recently, there has been phlegm in my throat. After drinking Shouli Gao sold in supermarkets, the next day my stool was a bit runny.Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
Expected help: Can a 6-month-old child drink Shouli Gao sold in supermarkets?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, Qiuli Gao is used for moistening the lungs, resolving phlegm, and stopping coughs. However, most colds during this season are caused by catching a cold, so it is not suitable to use it. When treating with traditional Chinese medicine, it is essential to use the right medicine for the specific condition. If the wrong medicine is used, it will not only be ineffective but may also worsen the condition and cause side effects. Whether it is adults or children, if the cold is caused by exposure to cold, Qiuli Gao should not be used.
