Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
Yes. It increases the surface area of the oral mucosa, is easy to administer, and can be taken even when water is unavailable. It is especially suitable for children with swallowing difficulties or poor gastrointestinal function, as it reduces the burden of medication on the digestive system. It helps prevent scurvy and also has certain auxiliary effects on various acute and chronic infectious diseases.
