Question
My son is 11 years old and has been taking Cordyceps for the past week. However, he started having intermittent dry coughs today. Can he continue to consume Cordyceps soup?
Answer
It is not recommended to continue taking Cordyceps, as it is not suitable for everyone. Children may experience precocious puberty when taking Cordyceps. The following groups are not advised to consume Cordyceps: First, children, as Cordyceps has a similar effect to androgens and may cause precocious puberty in children. It is recommended to use pediatric lung-clearing syrup for the treatment of cough and phlegm.
