Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Individuals with high blood sugar who experience coughing may generally take Compound Liquorice Tablets. These tablets effectively suppress coughing and help expel phlegm, thereby providing good relief from cough symptoms. Taking Compound Liquorice Tablets typically does not cause significant fluctuations in blood glucose levels. However, individuals with hyperglycemia and cough should drink plenty of water to maintain adequate hydration. Additionally, they should avoid spicy, stimulating, or greasy foods.
