Introduction
Children over the age of three typically have relatively mature gastrointestinal function and can generally consume Loquat and Pear Syrup. Loquat and Pear Syrup has functions of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, promoting saliva production, and alleviating thirst. It may help relieve symptoms such as lung heat with irritability and thirst, dry stools, and chest discomfort caused by heat-dryness injuring body fluids. If a child experiences symptoms such as coughing, excessive phlegm, or dry throat, moderate consumption of Loquat and Pear Syrup may help alleviate these symptoms.

If a child is of appropriate age and has relevant indications, he or she can generally take Loquat and Pear Syrup. However, if the child is too young or has allergic conditions, it is not recommended.

Children older than 3 years usually have relatively mature gastrointestinal functions and generally can take Loquat and Pear Syrup. This syrup helps moisten the lungs, relieve coughing, and alleviate thirst. It may help relieve symptoms such as lung heat-induced irritability and thirst, dry stools, and other discomforts caused by heat dryness damaging body fluids. If a child experiences symptoms like coughing, excessive phlegm, or dry throat, moderate consumption of Loquat and Pear Syrup may help alleviate these symptoms. However, it should be noted that Loquat and Pear Syrup is not a medication and cannot replace standard medical treatment.

Infants and young children, especially those under 1 year old, should be cautious when taking any over-the-counter medications, including Loquat and Pear Syrup, as their digestive and immune systems are not yet fully developed. Therefore, unless specifically advised by a doctor, it is not recommended for children in this age group. Additionally, if a child is allergic to any ingredient in Loquat and Pear Syrup, it should not be administered.

Maintaining good dietary habits and lifestyle practices can help strengthen children's immunity and reduce the likelihood of illness. In daily diets, it is recommended to maintain a balanced meal structure and consume a variety of foods to support overall health.
