Introduction
Under normal circumstances, the main effects and functions of Xigua Shuang Runhou Tablets include clearing heat and benefiting the throat, reducing swelling and relieving pain, promoting the production of saliva to moisten the throat, alleviating dry throat, and freshening breath. When using Xigua Shuang Runhou Tablets, they should be taken sublingually as directed and should not be swallowed whole. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children should use under medical guidance. Individuals allergic to any components of the medication should not use it.
Generally, Xigua Shuang (watermelon frost) throat lozenges primarily function to clear heat and soothe the throat, reduce swelling and relieve pain, promote saliva production to moisten the throat, alleviate dry throat, and refresh breath. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Clear Heat and Soothe the Throat
Xigua Shuang throat lozenges contain ingredients such as watermelon frost and borneol. Watermelon frost clears heat and fire, while borneol clears heat and opens the orifices. These ingredients work together to eliminate heat pathogens in the throat area, helping to relieve symptoms such as sore throat and a burning sensation caused by wind-heat or excessive internal heat, thus restoring a clear and comfortable throat.
2. Reduce Swelling and Relieve Pain
Ingredients such as watermelon frost and menthol in the lozenges have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. They can alleviate mucosal inflammation, reduce swelling, and relieve pain caused by swollen and congested throat mucosa, thereby easing discomfort and making swallowing smoother.
3. Promote Saliva Production and Moisturize the Throat
Ingredients such as menthol and sucrose in Xigua Shuang throat lozenges can stimulate saliva secretion, replenishing moisture in the throat area. For symptoms such as dry throat and hoarseness, these lozenges can moisturize the throat mucosa, relieve dryness and discomfort, keep the throat hydrated, and improve voice quality.
4. Alleviate Dry Throat
When the throat mucosa lacks sufficient moisture, symptoms such as dryness and itching may occur. Xigua Shuang throat lozenges relieve dry throat by promoting saliva production and replenishing moisture. Additionally, the medication forms a protective layer on the mucosal surface, reducing external irritation and continuously relieving symptoms such as dryness and itching.
5. Refresh Breath
Ingredients such as menthol in the lozenges have a cooling fragrance that masks oral odor. Their heat-clearing properties also help reduce bad breath caused by throat or oral inflammation. Sucking on the lozenges can freshen breath, improve breath odor associated with throat discomfort, and enhance oral comfort.
When using Xigua Shuang throat lozenges, follow the instructions for sublingual administration; do not swallow them whole. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children should use them under medical guidance. Individuals allergic to any component of the medication should avoid its use. If symptoms do not improve after three days of use, or if fever or worsening cough occurs, seek medical attention promptly. During treatment, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and greasy foods, and abstain from smoking and alcohol to prevent further throat irritation.
