As the saying goes, "the disease has cold and heat, and the medicine has cold and heat". The medication needs to be different from person to person, from illness to place and from time to time, and the appropriate medicine should be selected on the basis of syndrome differentiation and treatment.

Matters needing attention
1, it is best to choose Chinese patent medicines with the words "children" and "children"
This kind of Chinese patent medicine is mild, and the dosage of some fierce ingredients is also relatively small, which increases the sweetness, is more convenient for children to take, and explains the dosage of children more accurately.
2. There should be few kinds of Chinese patent medicines.
The combination of multiple Chinese patent medicines can easily lead to drug overdose. For example, Xiaoer Chiqiao Qingre Granule and Xiaoer Reduqing Granule have the same ingredients: Bupleurum, Scutellaria baicalensis, Forsythia suspensa and rhubarb. The components of the two drugs are similar, and the combination will increase the dosage of the drugs and increase the occurrence of adverse reactions. Considering the specific situation, parents are advised not to share two or more kinds of Chinese patent medicines without authorization.
3. Emphasize the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine, but avoid overlapping with western medicine containing the same ingredients.
It is necessary for children with a cold and a high fever to take Tylenol or Merrill Lynch and other western medicine antipyretics. But some Chinese patent medicines also contain western medicine ingredients. For example, compound infantile antipyretic suppository contains acetaminophen, which is a western medicine ingredient. Therefore, overlapping use of drugs containing acetaminophen should be avoided. Parents are advised to read the instructions carefully when purchasing Chinese patent medicines, or consult a doctor, Yamatonokusushi.
In short, we should pay attention to the dialectical application of children's Chinese patent medicines, give priority to children's Chinese patent medicines, pay attention to the incompatibility between Chinese patent medicines and the interaction with western medicines, and try to use them under the guidance of doctor Yamatonokusushi.
