Can newborns eat Tianhuang Houzao Powder?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If the child has phlegm, there are two possibilities to consider: first, whether there is an infection. If it is an antibiotic treatment, Cefixime can be taken. For severe cases, intravenous treatment is needed. The other possibility is that it could be congenital laryngeal stridor caused by calcium deficiency in the womb. It is recommended to supplement with vitamin D and take children's Eken.
