Introduction
Under normal circumstances, Lianqiao Baidu Pills are usually taken directly and do not need to be soaked in water before consumption. However, medication should always be used according to a physician's instructions. It is important to note that Lianqiao Baidu Pills should be avoided by individuals with spleen and stomach deficiency-cold or those who frequently experience diarrhea, as it may worsen gastrointestinal discomfort. During treatment, maintain a light diet and avoid spicy, greasy, and raw cold foods, as well as alcohol. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children should also avoid use.

Generally, Lianqiao Baidu Pills are taken directly and not dissolved in water. However, medication should always be used according to medical advice. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Lianqiao Baidu Pills belong to the category of pill formulations. When taking them, it is usually sufficient to swallow them whole with an appropriate amount of warm water. There is no need to dissolve them in water. This type of formulation has been designed considering the body's absorption characteristics. When swallowed directly, the pills will gradually dissolve in the body and release their active ingredients to meet therapeutic needs. Dissolving the pills in water may disrupt their structure, leading to uneven release of ingredients, reduced effectiveness, and potential waste due to incomplete dissolution.

When taking Lianqiao Baidu Pills, please note that individuals with spleen and stomach deficiency-cold or frequent diarrhea should avoid taking them to prevent worsening gastrointestinal discomfort. During treatment, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy, greasy, and cold foods, and also avoid alcohol consumption. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children should only use this medication under professional guidance and should not take it on their own. If symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for three days, or if adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional.

Can Lianqiao Baidu Pills be taken for a long period?
Lianqiao Baidu Pills have a relatively cold nature and are primarily used to treat acute conditions caused by excessive heat-toxin, such as skin ulcers, abscesses, sore throat, and swelling. Once symptoms are relieved or resolved, patients may discontinue the medication as directed by a physician. The typical duration of use is generally 3–7 days; prolonged use may disrupt the body's yin-yang balance.
