Can patients with diabetes and pulmonary nodules drink chrysanthemum tea to soothe their throat?
Disease description:
I am a diabetic patient, but recently I developed pulmonary nodules. I would like to drink chrysanthemum tea to soothe my throat. Can diabetic patients with pulmonary nodules drink chrysanthemum tea to relieve throat discomfort?

Patients with diabetes accompanied by pulmonary nodules can moderately drink chrysanthemum tea to soothe the throat. Chrysanthemum tea helps dispel wind-heat and relieve sore throat, providing some relief for symptoms caused by external wind-heat or throat discomfort. Moreover, chrysanthemum tea contains flavonoid antioxidants such as luteolin, as well as abundant vitamin A, vitamin B1, amino acids, and trace elements, all of which help enhance the body's resistance and promote recovery from illness. Diabetic patients should avoid adding sugar or honey to chrysanthemum tea to prevent fluctuations in blood glucose levels. Additionally, due to its cold nature, chrysanthemum tea should be consumed cautiously by individuals with cold deficiency of the spleen and stomach to avoid exacerbating discomfort. Excessive consumption of chrysanthemum tea should also be avoided to prevent adverse effects on the body. If any discomfort or questions arise, medical advice should be sought promptly.
