To determine whether there are any side effects of Chinese herbal medicine for children, it is necessary to analyze the specific situation.1. There are no side effects. The reason is that most of the herbal medicines for children belong to the plant group of medicines. This is because most of the plant-based medicines are taken from the flowers, stems and roots of plants. Most of them are very safe for plant medicines. This is because some drugs often belong to the same source of medicine and food. For example, honeysuckle, dandelion, and so on. These drugs can be used as medicine as well as for consumption. Therefore, the overall side effects of Chinese medicine are very small and the probability of occurrence is very slight. 2. Cases where the side effects of Chinese medicine are relatively large. If the course of application of Chinese medicine for children is longer, the amount of medicine is larger and the medicine used belongs to unconventional medicine. For example, children are given drugs with a good reaction, such as croton cream or rhubarb and guanmutong. In this case, adverse reactions may occur and parents and doctors should pay attention to them.
