Can children with cough eat rock sugar?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it can be eaten. If the child has a mild or moderate cough, I recommend boiling pears with rock sugar to eat. In terms of taste, this method is generally well-accepted by children. Another method that is suitable for both children and adults is to wash the pear leaves, add water, and boil them. Then, drink the boiled medicinal liquid. These two methods are simple and very practical, unlike other methods that are more troublesome.
