Professor Wang from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine emphasized in a recent health live broadcast: "Porridge relieves coughs through three main mechanisms: first, adding water to dilute sputum (such as Tremella porridge), second, specific ingredients to relieve cough (such as alkaloids in Sichuan scallops), and third, warming the respiratory tract (such as ginger porridge). However, it should be noted that allergic coughs need to be combined with anti-allergic treatment."
