Introduction
The self-recovery mechanism of viral flu relies on the body's immune system to eliminate the virus, thereby achieving recovery. If symptoms such as headache, fever, and cough occur with viral flu, the medication can be taken orally in appropriate amounts under a doctor's guidance to effectively relieve symptoms. In addition, during treatment for viral flu, it is important to stay warm and avoid eating greasy foods.
The principle behind self-recovery from viral colds lies in the body's immune system eliminating the virus, thereby achieving recovery.
Viral colds are generally caused by high life stress, prolonged熬夜 leading to reduced immunity, and subsequent viral invasion. They may also result from long-term exposure to poorly ventilated environments, which weakens the body's immune defenses and allows viruses to enter. Viral colds typically fall under upper respiratory tract infections and are commonly divided into ordinary colds and influenza. Typical symptoms include coughing, nasal congestion, and runny nose.
Treatment for viral colds should be conducted under a doctor’s guidance, including oral administration of antiviral liquids and cold-relieving heat-clearing granules. Antiviral oral liquid mainly contains ingredients such as Rehmannia and Isatis root, which have effects of cooling the blood, detoxifying, clearing heat, and removing dampness. Appropriate use during a cold can promote recovery. Cold-relieving heat-clearing granules contain components like Bupleurum and Platycodon, which help dispel wind and resolve exterior symptoms. If symptoms such as headache, fever, and cough occur with a viral cold, this medication may be taken orally in appropriate doses under medical supervision to effectively alleviate symptoms.
In addition, patients should ensure proper warmth and avoid greasy foods during treatment for viral colds.
