Can compound licorice tablets treat children's allergic cough?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Compound Guaizhi Tablets and Licorice Tincture are protective antitussive and expectorant agents; Opium Powder has a strong antitussive effect; Camphor and Star Anise Oil can stimulate the bronchial mucosa, reflexively increasing glandular secretion, thinning sputum, and making it easier to cough up; Sodium Benzoate is a preservative.
