Is Chuanbei loquat syrup used to treat cold cough or hot cough

Chuanbei loquat syrup is mainly used to treat hot cough. Chuanbei loquat dew is composed of traditional Chinese medicine such as Chuanbei mother and loquat leaves. It has the effects of clearing heat and moistening the lungs, resolving phlegm and stopping cough. It is suitable for symptoms such as lung heat and dry cough, yellow and viscous phlegm. If the patient shows symptoms of cold cough such as cough, thin phlegm, and chills, the medication should not be used.

Hot cough is often caused by external wind heat or stagnant heat in the lungs. Common symptoms include heavy coughing, thick and yellowish sputum, sore throat, dry mouth and tongue, etc. The fritillaria chuanbergii in Chuanbei loquat dew can clear the lungs and relieve heat, while loquat leaves can reduce qi and phlegm, and when combined with other ingredients, help alleviate febrile cough. Modern research has shown that the drug can inhibit respiratory inflammation and dilute sputum to promote excretion.

Cold cough is usually caused by wind cold attacking the lungs, manifested as coughing with white and thin phlegm, nasal congestion and clear nasal discharge, and chills without sweating. Misuse of heat clearing drugs at this time may worsen symptoms. For the treatment of cold cough, it is advisable to use formulas such as Tongxuan Lifei Wan and Xiaoqinglong Granules that warm and reduce cold phlegm, or to use dietary methods such as ginger, brown sugar, and water to dispel cold and relieve cough.

Before using Chuanbei loquat syrup, one should accurately identify the type of cough and avoid spicy and greasy foods during medication. If coughing persists for more than a week or is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and chest pain, seek medical attention promptly. Children, pregnant women and patients with diabetes should take it under the guidance of doctors and avoid using it together with other antitussive drugs.
