Question
Can a child with a fever and seizures take An Gong Ni Huang Wan themselves? A 2-year-old boy had seizures four times, with his eyes rolling back and his hands clenched tightly.
Answer
An Gong Ni Huang Wan is a traditional Chinese medicine commonly used to treat high fever and convulsions. However, for the treatment of fever and seizures in children, it is recommended to use it under a doctor’s guidance, as self-administration may lead to drug overdose or adverse reactions. Moreover, long-term use of An Gong Ni Huang Wan may damage liver and kidney function and affect intellectual development and growth. Experts suggest seeking professional medical advice to determine the appropriate treatment plan for individual patients.
