Question
A one-year-old baby saw his grandmother taking the Fifteen-Flavor Dragonbalm Pill and also demanded to take it. The grandmother brought the bowl close to the baby’s mouth, unsure if the baby actually drank any of it. The medicine has a bitter taste, and the baby wanted more. Is it possible that the baby ingested the pill, and what impact could it have on his body? The main ingredients and indications of the Fifteen-Flavor Dragonbalm Pill are as follows:
Answer
The combination of ingredients in the Fifteen-Flavor Dragonbalm Pill is safe, and it is a pure traditional Chinese medicine preparation with minimal side effects. It is primarily used to treat children’s coughs and persistent coughs. For a one-year-old baby, even if a small amount of the Fifteen-Flavor Dragonbalm Pill was accidentally ingested, it is unlikely to cause any health issues for the baby. Since it cannot be confirmed whether the baby actually drank any of the medicine, even if he did, the impact on his body would be minimal. It is recommended to keep medicines out of reach of babies in the future.
