How to eat Chuanbei loquat paste for good cough relief effect

Chuanbei loquat paste can be taken directly or diluted with warm water, and its cough stopping effect depends on the way, time, and physical condition of use. The correct usage mainly includes slow swallowing after taking, drinking after diluting with warm water, taking half an hour after meals, avoiding taking with spicy foods, and taking continuously for no more than 7 days.

1. Slowly swallow while taking

Take 10 milliliters of Chuanbei loquat paste and take it sublingually. After the medicine slowly melts, slowly swallow it. Oral administration can directly act on the mucous membrane of the throat, relieve local dryness, itching, and irritation, and have a significant effect on wind heat cough with sore throat. Avoid drinking water and eating for 30 minutes after taking to prolong the duration of the medication.

2. Dilute with warm water and drink

Mix 5-10 milliliters of ointment with 50 milliliters of warm water before drinking, suitable for patients with dry cough and difficult phlegm. Warm water can dilute phlegm, and when combined with the lung moistening and phlegm resolving effects of Fritillaria thunbergii, it can improve paroxysmal coughing caused by bronchospasm. The water temperature should not exceed 40 ℃ to avoid damaging active ingredients such as honey.

3. Take it half an hour after a meal.

Taking it 30-60 minutes after a meal can reduce gastrointestinal irritation, especially for those with weak spleen and stomach. The components such as ursolic acid in loquat leaves need to be absorbed after food buffering, and taking them at this time can enhance the cough and asthma relief effect. Taking on an empty stomach may cause discomfort or acid reflux in the epigastric region.

4. Avoid spicy foods

During consumption, avoid spicy and dry foods such as chili peppers, onions, and ginger, as they may counteract the nourishing yin and lung moisturizing effects of Sichuan scallops. Spicy food easily irritates the respiratory mucosa and aggravates cough symptoms. It is recommended to use pear juice, Broth of white fungus and other dry foods to enhance the efficacy.

5. Control medication cycle

Continuous use should not exceed 1 week. If cough does not improve, stop using and seek medical attention. Chuanbei loquat paste contains ingredients such as amygdalin, and long-term use may cause mild gastrointestinal reactions. Those who cough due to wind cold or have a lot of phlegm and thin sputum should use it with caution, and those with diabetes should choose a sugar free dosage form.

During the period of taking Chuanbei loquat paste, the indoor air should be kept moist, and the daily water intake should not be less than 1500 milliliters. It can be combined with pressing Tiantu acupoint and Feishu acupoint to enhance the cough stopping effect. If allergic reactions such as rash, difficulty breathing, or coughing accompanied by fever, chest pain, hemoptysis, etc. occur, the medication should be stopped immediately and medical attention should be sought. Chronic cough patients should be screened for potential causes such as allergic rhinitis and gastroesophageal reflux, and should not rely solely on cough syrup for treatment.
