Question
Can children eat chicken bile for coughing?
Answer
Children can consume chicken bile for coughing. Chicken bile has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, reducing phlegm, and stopping coughs, as well as improving eyesight. When selecting the type of chicken bile, it is recommended to choose the one from black chickens as it is believed to have a better effect. Chicken bile is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, with properties of being cold in nature and bitter in taste, able to enter the liver, gallbladder, and lung meridians, thereby exerting therapeutic effects on coughs. If a child has a severe cough, simply using chicken bile for treatment may not yield particularly ideal results.
