Question
Can sodium carboxymethyl starch solution be taken long-term? Can it be taken with other traditional Chinese medicines?
Answer
According to Dr. Chen’s advice, your child may be experiencing frequent upper respiratory infections due to a weak constitution. This could be caused by poor eating habits, indigestion, or lack of exercise. It is recommended to improve dietary structure, consume a diverse range of nutrients, avoid cold, hard, or spicy foods, drink plenty of water, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to increase vitamin intake. At the same time, it is important to consume more protein and calcium to strengthen the body. Additionally, it is advisable to take your child outdoors more often for physical activities to enhance their constitution and prevent colds. Pay attention to keeping warm in daily life, adjusting clothing according to weather changes, and avoid catching a cold. I hope my answer can be of help.
