Can children eat Houttuynia cordata boiled water?

1. Can I eat it?

Houttuynia cordata boiled in water can be given to children, but be careful about the dosage and do not consume it in excess. Because it is a cool herb, if it is given to children in excessive amounts, it can cause unnecessary side effects. If a child shows symptoms of wind-heat cold, he or she can drink it to reduce fever. You can also apply the decocted medicine on your baby's skin, which can treat skin diseases to a certain extent. You can also put the medicine into the bathtub, but don't soak in the bathtub for a long time.

Some people may experience allergic reactions after eating it, so parents should be careful when feeding it to their children. If a child is allergic to Houttuynia cordata, he or she will experience some adverse symptoms, and excessive consumption may endanger the child's life. If any discomfort symptoms occur, stop eating the food and take the child to the hospital immediately.

Boiling water with Houttuynia cordata can improve children's immunity, reduce the chance of being attacked by diseases, and also have the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm. However, if the child has a cold constitution, it is recommended that he drink less.
