Can children with pneumonia eat stewed pear with Fritillaria (Chuan Bei)?
Disease description:
Last month, my child was diagnosed with pneumonia. Her symptoms don't seem severe now, and I'd like to give her stewed pear with fritillaria (Chuanbei) to soothe her throat. May I ask if it's appropriate for children with pneumonia to consume stewed pear with fritillaria?

Dr. Xie Zixing
Children with pneumonia can consume stewed pear with Fritillaria (Chuan Bei). Chuan Bei and pear have the effects of resolving phlegm and relieving cough, which can help alleviate cough symptoms. Patients should maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy, greasy, raw, cold, and irritating foods. They should moderately consume fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins. Indoor air should maintain adequate humidity and good ventilation.
