Can you drink bear bile powder for colds?

Patients with wind-heat cold can take bear bile powder if they have sore throat and other manifestations, but need to cooperate with other Chinese herbs to clear wind and heat. Wind-cold cold is not suitable.
Bear bile powder is bitter in taste and cold in nature, with the effect of clearing heat and removing toxins, calming wind and stopping spasm (calming wind, relieving spasm), clearing the liver and brightening the eyes. It can be used clinically to treat convulsions and epilepsy caused by heat and wind (wind will be caused by too much accumulation of heat), heat sores and carbuncles (sores and carbuncles appearing on the surface of the skin due to excessive heat and poison in the body), sore throat, and swollen and painful eyes caused by liver fire.
Patients with wind-heat colds, such as sore throat and other manifestations of heat-toxicity, can take bear bile powder on the basis of wind-dispersing and heat-clearing.
However, this medicine is cold in nature, so patients with wind-cold cold should not drink this medicine. Patients with cold spleen and stomach are forbidden to use this medicine, and pregnant women should not use it. As this product has a fishy and bitter flavor, oral intake is easy to cause vomiting, so it is appropriate to use the capsule.
If patients need to use this medicine, they should go to the hospital and take it under the guidance of the doctor to ensure the safety of the medicine.
