Generally children can eat dendrobium, but need to follow the doctor’s advice to identify the evidence of medication, not to use on their own. Dendrobium, as a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, has the effects of benefiting the stomach and generating fluids (nourishing the stomach by replenishing the fluids in the stomach), nourishing yin and clearing heat (nourishing the yin essence and clearing the heat), and so on. When a child is diagnosed with stomach yin deficiency, Dendrobium can usually be used as prescribed by the doctor to regulate the body and improve symptoms such as dry mouth, irritable thirst, and dry vomiting with little food. If it is the children who have not injured the yin in the early stage of warm-heat disease, wet-warm disease (warm disease caused by feeling wet heat), or the children who have not transformed dryness, or the children who have deficiency of spleen and stomach (spleen and stomach are weak and cold), they should not eat dendrobium to prevent aggravation of the condition. Other diseases or healthy children, also can not eat Dendrobium. During the period when the child is taking Dendrobium as prescribed by the doctor, parents should pay attention to the reasonableness of his diet, avoiding the intake of cold, spicy and stimulating food, so as not to reduce the efficacy of Dendrobium. If children need to take dendrobium, it is recommended to take it under the guidance of professional physicians, do not blindly take medicine, so as not to affect the health.
