Question
After a child takes Pediatric Bupleurum Decoction for Cough Syrup and Cefpodoxime Proxetil Dry Suspension, diarrhea occurs. Is this normal and how should it be handled?
Answer
Pediatric Bupleurum Decoction is used to clear lung heat, but it may cause diarrhea in babies with weakened spleen and stomach. It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and consider using Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium infantis powder and Cefonicid Granules as symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication.
