Question
Is it harmful for a 1-year-old child to eat Shaoxing sauce every day?
Answer
For a 1-year-old child experiencing symptoms like a cold or cough, it is acceptable to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. It is important to ensure the child drinks plenty of water and consider using pediatric cough medicine or seeking advice from a pediatrician. There are many infants at this stage who may have insufficient gastrointestinal absorption, leading to calcium deficiency. Parents can administer a small amount of calcium supplements and AD pills, and also ensure the child gets adequate sunlight exposure.
