Can Chinese medicine add sugar?

Many people are afraid of the bitterness of traditional Chinese medicine, especially for young children. Some parents often use sugar to lick their children to drink medicine, but how much sugar is appropriate? Some people think that adding Chinese medicine will become "not bitter". It is very difficult to use sugar to make the already bitter medicine become hard. If the sugar is too much, it may cause phlegm and cough.

In fact, sugar can only suppress the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine, and may also give children a psychological hint of "not bitter after adding sugar", which is a good way for children to take Chinese medicine. You can also prepare sugar or two teaspoons of sugar when you drink medicine, let the child drink the syrup or eat some sugar in one go, and drive away the bitterness in the mouth. In any case, it is a victory to take your child to drink the medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine decoction has good effect and quick onset. It is suitable for diseases with rapid changes in condition. If it is chronic disease or conditioning the body to improve immunity, it may be used instead of traditional Chinese medicine powder or decoction, concentrated and added honey cream. The dosage is small, the effect is long lasting, and it is not as bitter as the decoction.
