It is okay to eat white radish for an itchy throat and cough. White radish has the benefits of clearing heat, promoting body fluid production, relieving cough, and reducing phlegm, so consuming it can help alleviate symptoms of an itchy throat and cough. An itchy throat and cough are often caused by throat inflammation, in which case anti-inflammatory medications such as amoxicillin may be taken as directed by a physician. During treatment, maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water regularly, and ensure adequate hydration in the body.
