Dr. Xie Zixing
Children with cough can适量 consume bird's nest appropriately if they are not allergic to it. Bird's nest has the effect of nourishing lung yin, resolving phlegm, and relieving cough. It also contains abundant nutrients such as high-quality protein, vitamin C, vitamin E, amino acids, and various trace elements. Moreover, it is easily digested and absorbed, helping to enhance the body's immune function and thereby promoting recovery from illness.
