Q Couldn't herbal medicine irritate the bronchi?
A Prescriptions used for childhood asthma exclude irritating herbs and consist mainly of gentle lung-qi replenishment.
Detailed Answer
Herbal medicine prescribed for children with asthma avoids pungent, strong herbs that could irritate the bronchi, and consists mainly of gentle herbs that softly replenish lung qi and clear phlegm-fluid. If coughing or breathing discomfort arises after taking it, let us know immediately and we will readjust.
