　　Wind-heat感冒 is mostly caused by heat pathogens invading the body, leading to dysfunction of lung qi. Patients may experience symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, dry mouth, sore throat, and swelling of the throat. Patients can take medications like Banlangen Granules or Yinqiao Jiedu Tablets under medical guidance.

　　2. Wind-Cold感冒

　　Wind-cold感冒 is usually caused by exposure to external wind and cold. Symptoms include nasal congestion, runny nose, dry mouth, sneezing, etc. Patients can follow medical advice to take medications such as Cold Relief Granules or Cold Soft Capsules.
