Patient's question:
Age and condition description: My friend told me that after the start of autumn, giving children Qizhen pills can prevent them from getting hot.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: I have never given them to my child before.
What help do you need: Is it really like this? The child does not currently have any symptoms of being hot, is it necessary to take Qizhen pills?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, since your child does not have symptoms of a "hot" constitution, it is best not to give them Xiao'er Qi Zhen Dan. This medication primarily works to clear heat, promote bowel movements, stop convulsions, and aid digestion. It cannot prevent your child from getting "hot" in the future, so this method is not appropriate.Recommendation: As long as you ensure your child drinks plenty of water, avoids spicy foods, and consumes more fruits and vegetables, they generally will not get "hot." There is no need to take Xiao'er Qi Zhen Dan. However, if your child has issues like "hot" and indigestion or if they have been startled, Xiao'er Qi Zhen Dan can be used for treatment. But it is best to take it under the guidance of a doctor and avoid self-medicating your child. I hope my answer helps you.
