Question
A mother accidentally mixed the wrong medicine while preparing formula for her child, mistakenly using mother’s own tranquilizing granules instead of the intended fire-clearing medicine. She is worried about the potential adverse effects or consequences on the baby.
Answer
There is no need to worry in this situation. The main ingredients of the tranquilizing granules include saffron, Danshen, and Schisandra, which are used for nourishing the heart and liver, calming the mind, and enhancing intelligence. They are primarily aimed at treating symptoms caused by deficiency of heart and liver blood, such as forgetfulness, dizziness, and headaches. Since traditional Chinese medicine ingredients generally have no side effects, no special treatment is required. Just closely observe any changes in the baby’s body. According to professional opinion, this situation will not affect the child and there is no need to be concerned.
