Those who are in the early stage of the disease or cough for a long time with excessive phlegm can eat some pears. Compendium of Materia Medica once recorded that pears can "moisten the lungs and cool the heart, reduce phlegm and reduce fire ...".
This is because pears contain sugar conjugates and tannins. Adding Fritillaria cirrhosa and crystal sugar to steam pears is better.
You can also eat loquat, because loquat contains amygdalin, which can relieve cough and resolve phlegm.
The loquat cream made from loquat fruit also has the effects of cooling and annealing, resolving phlegm and relieving cough.
2, inflammatory cough, might as well eat some oranges
If you have a sore throat when coughing, it is an inflammatory cough. You might as well eat some oranges.
Oranges contain volatile oil, limonene and so on. It can promote the increase of respiratory mucosa secretion, effectively relieve bronchospasm, and has expectorant and antitussive effects. Moreover, the orange peel in oranges contains vitamin P, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects.

Because almond contains amygdalin, it has the functions of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, warming lung and dispelling cold. The almond in its nucleus has strong antitussive and antiasthmatic effects.
In addition, eating bananas or pineapples when you have a dry cough is also effective.
People with hot constitution should eat more cold fruits.
People with hot constitution should eat more cold fruits, such as cantaloupe, watermelon, pear, banana, mango, persimmon and grapefruit.
Because the causes of cough are varied and the severity is different, we can't completely rely on fruit to cure the "hundred coughs", but also need symptomatic treatment.
5. People with deficiency and cold constitution can choose warm fruits.
Although everyone has different reasons for coughing, there are differences between cold and heat, such as cold cough, hot cough, dry cough and chronic cough.
When eating fruits, we should distinguish between cold and heat: people with deficiency and cold constitution can choose warm fruits, such as litchi, longan, pomegranate and orange.
Eating fruit can relieve phlegm and cough, which has a certain effect on relieving this cough. But if you want to cure cough completely, you still need to take medicine and pay attention to the patient's diet.
