Question
My child is almost three years old, and they have been suffering from dry cough and diarrhea these days. Can Shí Mèng Tuō Sǎn be taken at the same time as Māmī Ài? Thank you.
Answer
If the child is experiencing nausea and vomiting, it is recommended to first take the child’s stool to the hospital for a routine examination. Since there may be inflammation, the child may need to receive anti-inflammatory treatment. However, if there is no inflammation, the treatment plan you mentioned is acceptable. But please note that the two medications you mentioned should not be taken orally at the same time, and it is recommended to take a break of half an hour to an hour between them. Also, pay attention that Montmorillonite Powder is generally recommended for severe nausea and vomiting.
