Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Ginkgo nuts may cause facial allergic reactions, as they contain high levels of organic acids; contact with the skin can lead to redness, swelling, and itching, often accompanied by a rash. If such symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately. For cough with phlegm, moderate consumption of ginkgo nuts may help moisten the lungs. In daily life, ensure adequate sleep and maintain a positive mood.
