Is drinking sarsaparilla with salt really effective for treating cold, fever or heat stroke? Professor Wang Jinkun said...

Whether it is to relieve cold symptoms or prevent heat stroke, the older generation will think of drinking SARS! It is widely said that "SARS + salt" is not only delicious, but also helps to reduce the temperature when drinking it during a cold or fever, and prevents the body temperature from continuing to rise. However, Professor Wang Jinkun said that compared to using it to reduce fever in patients with colds, "SARS + Salt" is more suitable for patients with heatstroke to drink to cool down!

"SARS + salt" helps reduce cold and fever! Experts: It is not advisable to have a cold

Professor Wang Jinkun of the Department of Nutrition at Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences said that in fact, the action of "SARS + salt" will cause SARS, which is originally a carbonated beverage, to have more gas, making the drinker feel that the original cool feeling of SARS is even more acute.

And because of the large increase in gas, if the patient also has a sore throat and drinks the gas-filled SARS, it is more likely to cause throat irritation. In addition, too much gas can easily cause bloating in the gastrointestinal tract, and is not suitable for people who have a cold and are suffering from diarrhea or abdominal pain.

If the patient also has sore throat, drinking gas-filled SARS will more easily cause throat irritation.

Professor Wang Jinkun emphasized that in order to successfully reduce fever and relieve the discomfort caused by colds and fevers, proper rest, drinking plenty of water, and maintaining a balanced diet are the only way to effectively improve the above symptoms, recover as quickly as possible, and restore physical strength.
