1, usage and precautions
First, as stated in the instructions of Xiaoer Qingfei Huatan Granule, it is not suitable for children with spleen deficiency, pale tongue and diarrhea to take this product. This medicine is mainly for clearing away heat. Scutellaria baicalensis contained in the medicine is easy to hurt yang, which will aggravate children's diarrhea symptoms.
Second, control the dosage of drugs. Qingfei Huatan Granules are generally taken with boiled water. For children under one year old, the dosage should not exceed 3 grams at a time. 1-5 years old children can take 6 grams each time; People over 5 years old can take 9-12g according to their illness, and it is recommended to take it 2-3 times a day. For children with diabetes, this product should not be taken.
Third, during the medication, children should avoid eating cold and irritating foods, and foods with high oil content must also be avoided, especially when they are not used with other drugs for treating colds, so as to avoid interaction between drugs.
2, can not be taken for a long time
Conventionally, if the cough caused by lung heat after a cold is not obviously improved for a week, then this medicine is not suitable. We should think of other methods, such as massage, scraping and cupping for children. Don't think the dosage is not good at first sight, but buy ten boxes for children to eat for a month. Ephedra, Almond, Peucedanum, Perilla frutescens and Zanthoxylum bungeanum in the prescription are all purging lung qi, which will hurt the lung if taken for a long time. When this drug is tested in clinical human beings, the stage must be one week, and no one has done it for more than one week. Therefore, parents should not use children as experiments. This matter must be handled by pharmaceutical companies and food and drug administration.
3, cold phlegm cough is not good.
Common coughs are divided into three types: cold, heat and dryness. If white phlegm, cold sweat and cold palms are mostly attributed to colds and coughs, this medicine should never be used. A dry cough is similar to a hot cough, and you can also cough violently. When you cough, your face will be red by Chinese medicine. Only a dry cough may have no phlegm, dry mouth and dry throat, which is more common in autumn. This medicine cannot be used. Traditional Chinese medicine has at least a dozen methods to treat cough according to different conditions. As the saying goes, "a thousand miles away, a millionth difference", if the medication is a little worse, the result may be the opposite. Parents can not love the money for medicine, but they cannot help loving their children. Therefore, the use of drugs must be cautious. Don't give drugs to your children just because you are afraid of trouble in treating diseases.
4. What should I do if my baby has too much phlegm?
Because the baby's body is fragile and the respiratory system is not well developed, if there is too much phlegm in the throat and it is stuck in the throat, it will easily cause serious consequences. Everyone must pay attention. Our novice parents can let the baby lie on his side or hold him on his side when he coughs, and then pat him on the back, which can help to expectorate. But pay attention to the baby's back, the technique should be light, otherwise it is easy to discharge the baby's internal injuries.
In addition, it is necessary to replenish water to the baby in time. However, the baby's self-care ability is poor, so mom and dad can put a certain amount of water in a bottle for the baby to drink in moderation. Especially for babies with a lot of phlegm in their throats and phlegm stuck in their throats, drinking boiled water can dilute mucus secretions in their throats, thus helping to expectorate. Usually, you can give your baby some children's Qingfei Huatan granules to help your baby cough up phlegm.
