Is it good for infants and young children to drink pear soup every day?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: One and a half years old
Detailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: Due to the dryness in autumn and winter, the child is prone to getting hot easily. The child's great-grandmother has been giving the child boiled water made from pears (such as snow pear, musk pear, sugar pear, etc.) every day. Since pears are considered cooling foods, there is a concern that the child may develop a cold and fearful constitution in the future. Please provide help and answers for those with experience or knowledge of this situation.

Doctor's answer:

Infants can benefit from drinking the water cooked from fruits, which has a certain effect in clearing heat and relieving fire. However, it should not be consumed for a long period of time. Breastfeeding on time and adding complementary foods is sufficient. It is best to choose good quality pears for better effectiveness.
Snow pears are sweet with a slightly sour taste and cool in nature, entering the lung and stomach meridians. They contain malic acid, citric acid, glucose, sucrose, vitamin B, and vitamin C. Their functions include moistening the lungs, generating fluids, clearing heat, and resolving phlegm. They are very suitable for people with sore throats or lung heat.
For those with phlegm, pears can be a good choice.
