Heat-induced common cold is another way of describing a wind-heat type of common cold. It is an upper respiratory tract infection caused by a virus, and one of its most common symptoms is coughing. When the virus invades the respiratory tract, it triggers the body's immune system to produce an inflammatory response, leading to inflammation and swelling of tissues in the throat, trachea, and lungs, which easily results in coughing. Other main symptoms of heat-induced cold include fever, headache, sore throat, reduced appetite, body aches, and fatigue. Patients are advised to take medications such as Yin Qiao San or Nambanlangen Granules as directed by a physician.
