Does pear water reduce inflammation?

Many people know that pear water has a cough-relieving effect. But some friends have heard that pear water can reduce inflammation. So, can pear water really reduce inflammation? Actually, it’s not. Pear water does not have any anti-inflammatory effect. But if we cough frequently, we can still drink some pear water appropriately. Let’s take a look at the main effects of pear water!

Pear is sweet, sour, flat and non-toxic in nature. It has the effects of promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, benefiting the spleen and stopping diarrhea, and harmonizing the stomach and relieving adverse reactions. Its main ingredients are water and sugar. If the statement that pears "have no cough-relieving ingredients" is true, then drinking rock sugar pear water feels like it can relieve coughs and moisten the lungs. That's because it replenishes a large amount of water and alleviates the dryness caused by the cough, but the cough-relieving function has not been fully achieved.

Speaking of rock sugar, it is sweet and mild in nature, and can nourish yin and produce body fluid, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, and strengthen the body and nourish yin. According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is very effective for dry cough, dry cough without sputum or sputum with blood. From this point of view, rock sugar can actually relieve cough better.

So, strictly speaking, rock sugar pear water cannot "relieve cough" because it does not contain too many cough-relief ingredients. It only has the effect of relieving cough.

What should I do if my baby coughs repeatedly?

If your baby coughs repeatedly, it is actually a major symptom of lung heat. Rock sugar pear water has a certain effect on yin deficiency cough and dry cough, but it cannot really cure the cough. So what other magic weapon can be used to treat babies' recurring coughs?

Note on medication: Choose medicine rationally, with Chinese medicine being the first choice. Traditional Chinese medicine has become the first choice for children's cough relief because of its excellent comprehensive cough-relieving, expectorant, anti-inflammatory and anti-asthmatic effects, good results and small toxic side effects. Among them, Xiaokuihua Children's Lung Heat, Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid is specially designed for the baby's hot constitution. It is composed of "Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang" and "Bai Hu Tang" to clear lung heat, relieve cough and asthma, and can effectively treat the baby's recurrent cough.

Dietary precautions: Frozen and spicy foods can irritate the throat and aggravate coughing. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink cold or frozen drinks when you have a cough. It is best to warm the milk taken out of the refrigerator before drinking it.

Note at home: Encourage your baby to rest more. Excitement or exercise will aggravate coughing and sputum. Keep the indoor air circulating and avoid stimulation from gas, dust, etc. When coughing, the rapid airflow takes away moisture from the respiratory tract, causing dehydration of the mucous membrane. Pay attention to letting your child drink more water and eat more fruits.

Many mothers wrote to the editor with different opinions on whether certain folk remedies are effective. In my opinion, folk remedies only play an auxiliary role. To truly relieve the pain of the disease, you have to use the right medicine for the right disease! Therefore, if there is a baby at home who coughs repeatedly, mothers must choose medicines that can clear lung heat to deal with it.
