Do not eat lychees continuously and in large quantities. You can drink some salt water or herbal tea before and after eating lychees. Mung bean water, winter melon water, and raw earth soup also have good therapeutic effects. For children, lychees are the same as mangoes, longans and other fruits. Children with strong internal heat should not eat them, and normal children should eat as little as possible. For the elderly, those with constipation should avoid eating them as much as possible. Especially those with liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and gastrointestinal diseases should be more cautious. If you eat too many lychees, you will experience abdominal distension and frequent abdominal pain, which is commonly known as "poisoning". "Poisoning" can be treated by drinking lychee shell decoction, or eating a few slices of fresh lemon or drinking a cup of lemon tea, which can also eliminate distension and relieve pain.
