It is certainly possible to eat watermelon with pharyngitis and cough. Watermelon has a moistening effect on the throat and is relatively watery, which can effectively relieve the patient’s throat discomfort and dryness and reduce the cough. Patients can also eat more pears or grapes, which have the same effect, and they can also take oral Chinese medicines to consolidate their treatment. If the cough is caused by phlegm in the throat, chamomile ice plum tablets, golden voice opening capsule or six sacred pills can be used with good effect. If the cough is caused by an itchy throat, patients can add anti-allergy medication such as paracetamol, montelukast sodium or levocetirizine oral solution. Patients should also be careful not to eat particularly spicy and stimulating foods in their diet, and should exercise more to strengthen their resistance and avoid catching a cold to avoid aggravating the symptoms of pharyngitis and cough.
