Question
Due to the dryness of autumn and winter, children are prone to heat, and parents give their children pear water every day to alleviate symptoms, but they are worried about the potential impact on their children’s constitution if consumed long-term.
Answer
Pear water has the effect of cooling and moistening the throat, and for infants aged one and a half, it can be taken in moderation to alleviate symptoms of heat. However, as pears are cool and cold foods, long-term and excessive consumption may have an adverse effect on the infant’s constitution. It is recommended that parents feed their children under the guidance of a doctor and add complementary foods in a timely manner. Additionally, choosing high-quality pears for boiling will yield better results. Snow pears and lychees are both suitable fruits for moistening the lungs and resolving phlegm.
