Dr. Yang Shuwen
For children's heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine, pediatric Chai Gui Tui Re Granules can be selected under a doctor's guidance. This formula contains herbal ingredients such as Bupleurum (Chai Hu), Cinnamon Twig (Gui Zhi), and Kudzu Root (Ge Gen), which have the effects of clearing heat, reducing fever, promoting sweating, and relieving exterior symptoms. Alternatively, Lian Hua Qing Wen Granules may also be considered. Its main components include Forsythia, Honeysuckle, and prepared Ephedra, which help clear heat and toxins, and promote lung function to relieve heat.
