Bitter melon can be eaten during a cold. Bitter melon is a cold food with the effect of clearing heat and detoxification, which can relieve nasal congestion or runny nose caused by cold. Especially if you have a sore throat, eating bitter melon will be more effective. Bitter melon can be blanched with hot water and eaten cold, or scrambled eggs with bitter melon, which is good for relieving colds. However, if the symptoms of cold are serious, you should take cold medicine for treatment to avoid aggravating the cold or inducing lower respiratory tract infection.

In the case of adults, you can use Sensachem, Vitamin C silver warp tablets, aminogalactam capsules or Sensachem, which are more effective. If the cold causes serious sore throat, you can also use Chinese anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve the relief, such as oral anti-inflammatory oral solution of Pu Di Lan, or oral solution of Blue Scutellaria, or Four Seasons Anti-Viral Compound, which have better anti-inflammatory effects.
