Patient's question:
Can a one-year-old child eat licorice tablets?Doctor's answer:
Hello, taking licorice tablets frequently can lead to serious side effects. A one-year-old child's internal organs are still developing, so it's best not to use licorice tablets to treat coughs. If a child has a cough, you can give them Children's Cough and Phlegm Granules or Feilike Heji for treatment, both of which are quite effective. Alternatively, you can cook a bit of Fuzhen Bing Tang (Fritillaria, Rock Sugar, and Pear Soup) for cough and phlegm relief, which is also very effective for children with feverish coughs.
