Patient's question:
My child has a cold and is sneezing. The hospital prescribed a medicine called Zuckamu. However, I noticed that the drug ingredients contain tobacco. Is there any harm in it?Doctor's answer:
After reading your question, Zuckamu granules are a medication for treating wind-heat colds. The active ingredient in Zuckamu contains opium shell, but the instructions do not explicitly list any contraindications, indicating that children can take it. However, it is recommended to consult a professional pediatrician before making a decision. If it is necessary to use it, the child should take one-quarter of the adult dosage and not exceed three days to minimize any potential side effects.
