Introduction
Generally speaking, Juhong Pills have various effects such as resolving phlegm and relieving cough, dispelling wind and cold, alleviating asthma and calming shock, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, and enhancing immunity. Ingredients in Juhong Pills, such as Ramulus Cinnamomi (Guizhi) and Perilla leaf (Zisuye), have the effect of warming yang and dispelling cold, helping to eliminate internal coldness and alleviate symptoms of colds and cough caused by wind-cold. However, it should be noted that the use of traditional Chinese medicine should be conducted under the guidance of a qualified TCM practitioner.

Under normal circumstances, Juhong Pills have the effects of resolving phlegm and relieving cough, dispelling wind and cold, relieving asthma and calming shock, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, and enhancing immunity. A detailed explanation is as follows:

1. Resolving Phlegm and Relieving Cough: Ingredients in Juhong Pills such as Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum (juhong) and Tangerine Peel (chenpi) are rich in volatile oils, which can effectively stimulate the respiratory mucosa, promote the expulsion of phlegm, and thereby alleviate cough symptoms. It provides some relief for excessive coughing and phlegm caused by chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and similar conditions.

2. Dispelling Wind and Cold: Ingredients such as Cinnamon Twig (guizhi) and Perilla Leaf (zisuye) in Juhong Pills have the effect of warming yang and dispersing cold. They help eliminate internal cold and alleviate symptoms such as colds and coughs caused by wind-cold. For example, common colds caused by wind-cold during autumn and winter can be effectively relieved by Juhong Pills, reducing symptoms such as chills, headache, and nasal congestion.

3. Relieving Asthma and Calming Shock: Ingredients such as Apricot Seed (xingren) and Ephedra (mahuang) in Juhong Pills can relax bronchial smooth muscles and relieve bronchial spasms, thereby achieving an anti-asthmatic effect. At the same time, they have a calming effect on the nervous system, providing some relief for conditions such as night terrors in children and anxiety in adults.

4. Strengthening the Spleen and Nourishing the Stomach: Ingredients such as Atractylodes (baizhu) and Poria (fuling) in Juhong Pills have the function of strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi, which can enhance spleen and stomach function and promote digestion and absorption. Juhong Pills can effectively improve spleen and stomach function and strengthen the constitution for symptoms such as loss of appetite and indigestion caused by spleen and stomach weakness.

5. Enhancing Immunity: Various medicinal ingredients in Juhong Pills are rich in antioxidant components, capable of eliminating free radicals in the body and enhancing immune function. Long-term, moderate use helps reduce the occurrence of respiratory diseases such as colds and coughs and improves physical resistance.

However, it should be noted that the use of traditional Chinese medicine should be carried out under the guidance of a qualified TCM practitioner, and spicy and irritating foods should be avoided during use.

Can you eat cherries after receiving the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine?
It is safe to eat cherries after receiving the MMR vaccine. Cherries are nutritious, rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Moderate consumption will not affect the vaccine's efficacy or increase the risk of adverse reactions. Cherries are considered mild in nature and are not spicy, irritating, or high-risk allergenic foods. However, if severe symptoms such as rash, vomiting, or difficulty breathing occur after eating cherries, seek medical attention immediately.

Can I get vaccinated if my blood pressure is 155 over 85?
If this blood pressure level has been stably maintained over a long period (e.g., through regular use of antihypertensive medication) and the individual does not experience symptoms such as dizziness, headache, or chest tightness, with overall stable health status, vaccination generally will not cause significant blood pressure fluctuations nor affect vaccine efficacy. After medical evaluation, routine vaccination can be administered, followed by continued blood pressure monitoring.

Does poor blood circulation affect vaccines?
If the individual only has mild local circulatory issues (such as cold hands and feet), without serious underlying conditions (such as severe heart failure or peripheral vascular disease), and with normal overall metabolism and immune function, vaccination is still appropriate. The immune system can properly recognize vaccine components and produce antibodies. Mild circulation problems will not impair vaccine effectiveness nor worsen the circulatory abnormalities.

Can short-acting interferon be used again after having been administered for 4 years and then discontinued for 4 years?
If the underlying disease (e.g., chronic hepatitis B or C) is currently in an active phase, with abnormal liver function or elevated viral load, and no severe baseline conditions (e.g., cirrhosis) have occurred during the 4-year period off treatment, the patient may be eligible for re-treatment—provided a physician evaluates them as having good overall tolerance and no contraindications to interferon use (such as severe cardiac or renal disease, or psychiatric history). An individualized dosing regimen would then be required.

Why is chemotherapy required after major cancer surgeries?
In general, patients with cancers such as lung cancer, gastric cancer, and breast cancer often require chemotherapy after surgery due to surgical trauma and stress, decreased immune function, minimal residual disease, active cell proliferation, and increased potential for metastasis. If any discomfort occurs, seek timely medical evaluation and treatment at a正规 hospital. In daily life, it is important to maintain a balanced diet with adequate protein and vitamin intake, and to follow a regular sleep schedule, avoiding staying up late.

Can I take aspirin after receiving an adenovirus vector vaccine?
If you are already taking aspirin regularly for conditions such as cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, stopping the medication on your own after vaccination may increase the risk of complications from your underlying condition. In such cases, you may continue taking the original dose under a doctor's evaluation. Aspirin primarily functions to inhibit platelet aggregation. There is currently no evidence indicating that it interacts with components of adenovirus vector vaccines or affects the immune response induced by the vaccine.
