Today I will talk about Baikkeng Granules . I believe that from its product name, you will think it can treat any kind of cough, so many parents take their babies to hospitals or pharmacies, and some doctors or pharmacy salesmen will recommend this medicine.
Can perkine really treat any type of cough?
First, let’s take a look at the composition and indications of Perekine Granules!
[Main ingredients]: white nut , green indica, flat fritillaria.
[ function and indication] : Clear heat and eliminate phlegm, relieve cough and asthma. Used for children with whooping cough .
Analysis from this main ingredients:
- Ginkgo: mild in nature, sweet in taste, slightly bitter, and slightly toxic. It can relieve cough and relieve asthma,
- Qingdian: It is salty and cold in nature, has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and eliminating spots.

Overall, the composition of Baikening granules is cold and the spleen and stomach of children are weak, and taking too much will damage the spleen and stomach and cause digestive problems. Focus on the functions and indications of Perkherin Granules - used in children with whooping cough. my country's current immunization procedures stipulate that newborns should start vaccinating diphtheria and tetanus vaccine at full term 3 after birth, which contains the vaccine for whooping cough. Therefore, children who have been immunized rarely have whooping cough, but the failure of vaccination is not ruled out. Most children's coughs are not whooping cough.
How do you know if a child’s cough is whooping cough?
Babies with whooping cough may only have low fever and cold symptoms at the beginning. They will experience paroxysmal series of spasms and inhalation roars around 1 week, which will occur repeatedly, and the course of the disease can last up to 2-3 months. If you take blood tests and bacterial culture, you can know that your child has whooping cough, so it is the right symptom for using Perkinein Granules.
What is the reason for the abuse of this drug now?
More Chinese doctors who prescribe Chinese medicine are non-specialist Chinese medicine doctors who graduated from traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, so they don’t know that children should not take these Chinese medicines too much. It was just taken out of context. When I saw the product name was Xiaoer Baikening Granules, I thought that all coughs could be used.
When there is no clear type of cough of your baby, parents should learn to say NO.
