Fruits that relieve cough and reduce phlegm, three kinds of fruits are good for relieving cough

It is common to catch a cold in autumn and winter, which can cause asthma and cough. In fact, you don’t need to take medicine frequently for cough. You can eat more fruits, such as pears, oranges, and apricots. They are safe and do not harm your body. You should also drink more water and keep warm.

1. People with early or long-term cough and phlegm can eat some pears.

Pear: People who are in the early stages of the disease or have a long-term cough with a lot of phlegm can eat some pears. Pears contain glycosides and tannic acid and other ingredients. The effect will be better if you add Fritillaria cirrhosa and rock sugar and then steam the pears and eat them.

People who are in the early stages of the disease or have a long-term cough and phlegm can eat some pears. "Compendium of Materia Medica" once recorded that pears can "moisten the lungs, cool the heart, clear phlegm and reduce fire." This is because pears contain glycosides and tannic acid. The effect will be better if you add Fritillaria cirrhosa and rock sugar and then steam the pears before eating.

2. For inflammatory cough, you may want to eat some oranges

Orange: If your cough is accompanied by a sore throat, it is an inflammatory cough and you might want to eat some oranges. Oranges contain volatile oils, limonene, etc., which can promote the increase of respiratory mucosal secretions, relieve bronchial spasms, and have the effects of expectorant, cough relief, and asthma relief.

3. When coughing is accompanied by wheezing, or dry cough without sputum, you can eat some apricots.

Because apricots contain amygdalin, which has the effects of relieving cough and expectorant, warming the lungs and dispersing cold, the almond in the kernel has a stronger antitussive and antiasthmatic effect. In addition, eating bananas or pineapples when you have a dry cough can also be effective.

People with a hot constitution should eat more cold fruits, such as cantaloupe, watermelon, pear, banana, mango, persimmon, grapefruit, etc.

Since the causes of coughs are diverse and vary in severity, we cannot rely solely on fruits to cure "coughs"; symptomatic treatment is also needed.

Apricot: If you have a cough accompanied by wheezing, or a dry cough without phlegm, you can eat some apricots.

Because apricots contain amygdalin, which has the effects of relieving cough and expectorant, warming the lungs and dispersing cold, the almond in the kernel has a stronger antitussive and antiasthmatic effect.
