Anisole and citric acid are commonly used in drugs for infant colic and indigestion. Excessive use may have a negative impact on infants.
Anisole is a volatile oil that soothes intestinal smooth muscles and can relieve discomfort symptoms such as infant colic and flatulence. However, large-scale use of anisole may affect the nervous system and respiratory system of infants, leading to severe symptoms such as dyspnea, coma, and convulsions. Therefore, anisole should be used with caution in infants and should be used under the guidance of a doctor, with strict control of dosage and frequency of use.
Citrate is an organic acid that can promote gastrointestinal motility and relieve discomfort symptoms such as constipation and flatulence. Excessive intake of citric acid may reduce the concentration of calcium ions in the body, thereby affecting bone development and health and leading to osteomalacia. At the same time, it will have adverse effects on infants' bones and teeth, leading to problems such as caries. Therefore, the use of citric acid in infants also needs to be cautious and should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
It is recommended to take medication as prescribed by the doctor, do not take or stop taking medication without permission, take medication strictly according to specifications, do not overdose or use for a long time, to ensure the health and safety of the baby.
