Question
My daughter is now 8 years old. When she was 6, she took a decoction made with red dates and asthma medication due to asthma, and she has been taking it for nearly a year. This year, in the first half, she was diagnosed with precocious puberty in the hospital. Is this issue related to the decoction?
Answer
Some medications are yin-yang tonics that can enhance body fluid immunity, cellular immunity, non-specific immunity, immune regulation, anti-aging, anti-fatigue, anti-stress capabilities, and metabolic effects on the body, which may promote precocious puberty. These drugs are divided into three parts and should not be taken in excess; otherwise, they may produce toxic side effects. Do not take medication arbitrarily; use some medications under a doctor’s guidance. And wish you good health!
