Efficacy and Effects of Zhike Juhong Oral Liquid
Disease description:
My throat has been uncomfortable for quite some time, and I’ve been coughing persistently. A friend recommended taking Juhong Cough-Relieving Oral Liquid, saying it helps speed up recovery. Since I’ve never taken it before, I’d like to know specifically what this medication is used for.

Jike Juhong Oral Liquid is primarily used to treat cough with excessive phlegm, chest fullness, shortness of breath, dry throat, and throat itching caused by phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs, effectively alleviating patients’ discomfort. Its main ingredients include Exocarpium Citri Rubrum (Juhong), Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae (Chenpi), and Rhizoma Pinelliae (Banxia). This combination dries dampness, transforms phlegm, clears heat from the lungs, resolves phlegm, suppresses cough, and promotes the free flow of lung Qi—thereby achieving the therapeutic effects of cough suppression and phlegm resolution. During treatment, patients should avoid spicy, raw/cold, and greasy foods, strictly follow their physician’s instructions, and refrain from self-medicating.
