Q Can herbal medicine containing Astragalus cause an allergic reaction in my child?
A Allergic reactions to Astragalus itself are rare, but we start with a small dose at the first use and monitor the response.
Detailed Answer
Allergic reactions to herbal formulas containing Astragalus are occasionally reported. For children with atopic dermatitis or food allergies, we start with a smaller dose and observe for 2–3 days. If skin rashes or digestive discomfort occur, discontinue immediately and visit the clinic.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, allergy history is always reviewed at the first visit. Children with atopic conditions receive adjusted formulations designed to minimize skin burden while still achieving the therapeutic goal.
