Q What if my child with bedwetting refuses to take the herbal medicine?
A We can prepare it as child-friendly granules or syrup to make it easier to take. Mixing it with a little honey or warm water is another option.
Detailed Answer
The bitter taste of herbal medicine can make children reluctant. We help children take it consistently by adjusting the method and form of administration.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Pediatric prescriptions prioritize herb combinations that are as mild in taste and gentle in aroma as possible. Preparing it as granules or a soft extract instead of a decoction makes it much easier to take. Mixing it with a small amount of honey or grain syrup is a traditional method as well; honey also has the benefit of supporting the spleen and stomach, making it a good companion. If refusal is severe, please be sure to mention it during the consultation.
