Lung fever belongs to the category of “Lung Heat Blazing Certificate” in Chinese medicine. Watermelon has the effect of clearing heat and removing annoyance, relieving summer heat and generating fluids, as well as diuretic. Therefore, people with lung heat can eat watermelon in moderation, but generally not used to clear lung heat.
Watermelon is the ripe fruit scoop of watermelon of Cucurbitaceae family, cold in nature, belonging to heart, stomach and bladder meridians. It can be used to regulate thirst and heat (irritability and sultriness), short and red urine (small amount of urine with dark yellow color), or edema, dysuria (unruly urine) caused by summer heat, or mouth sores caused by inflammation of the heart. Watermelon should be eaten raw, but those with cold spleen and stomach should not eat more.
Moderate consumption of watermelon by people with lung heat will not cause special harm to the body and is good for clearing heat, so people with lung heat can consume watermelon in moderation. However, the efficacy of watermelon alone is weak and slow to take effect, so it is recommended that the medicine be combined by a professional physician.
If the patient has any discomfort, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time for diagnosis and treatment. It is not advisable to self-medicate to avoid delaying the condition.
