Generally, the effects and functions of Xigua Shuang (watermelon frost)润喉片 (lozenges) include clearing heat and fire, reducing swelling and relieving pain, improving voice and relieving sore throat, ameliorating oral ulcers, and possessing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Clearing Heat and Fire
One of the main ingredients of Xigua Shuang lozenges is watermelon frost, which has the effect of clearing heat and fire. When the body develops symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the throat due to external wind-heat or excessive internal fire, watermelon frost can effectively eliminate heat toxins.
2. Reducing Swelling and Relieving Pain
Xigua Shuang lozenges have good effects in reducing swelling and relieving pain caused by throat inflammation. Whether the swelling and pain are caused by excessive voice use, such as prolonged talking or singing, or by infection leading to congestion and swelling of the pharyngeal mucosa, these lozenges can help alleviate swelling and relieve pain.
3. Improving Voice and Relieving Sore Throat
Xigua Shuang lozenges help improve symptoms such as hoarseness and difficulty speaking. They can moisturize the throat and keep the throat mucosa hydrated, thereby improving vocal function. For example, during acute pharyngitis when hoarseness occurs, taking Xigua Shuang lozenges can gradually restore clear voice and reduce throat discomfort.
4. Ameliorating Oral Ulcers
Xigua Shuang lozenges also have certain therapeutic effects on oral ulcers. When ulcers occur on the oral mucosa with significant local pain, allowing the lozenge to dissolve in the mouth enables the medication to act directly on the ulcerated area. The active ingredients can promote healing of oral ulcers, reduce pain, and alleviate inflammation of the oral mucosa.
5. Antibacterial and Anti-inflammatory Effects
The components of Xigua Shuang lozenges possess certain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. They can inhibit common pathogens causing throat inflammation, such as Staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic streptococcus. In the early stages of bacterial infection and inflammation of the throat, taking Xigua Shuang lozenges can, to some extent, inhibit bacterial growth and prevent the inflammation from worsening.
Xigua Shuang lozenges should be used under the guidance of a physician to avoid improper use that may lead to adverse reactions.
