Does Lianhua Qingwen treat allergic asthma?
The core effects of Lianhua Qingwen are clearing away epidemic toxins, detoxification, promoting lung function, and relieving heat. It is primarily used to treat influenza due to heat-toxin attacking the lungs, and is not intended for the treatment of allergic asthma. Allergic asthma results from an abnormal immune response to allergens and requires targeted anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy treatments. Patients with allergic asthma should seek timely evaluation and standardized treatment at a respiratory medicine department.

Can I take cold medicine after consuming lingzhi soup?
If you wait 1–2 hours after drinking the Reishi mushroom soup and choose a simple traditional Chinese medicine cold remedy—such as Fenghan Ganmao Granules or Fengre Ganmao Granules—it is generally safe to take. This interval helps reduce direct interactions between the two in the gastrointestinal tract. Mild cold medicines have a low risk of ingredient conflict with Reishi soup, minimizing discomfort and allowing each to exert its respective regulatory and therapeutic effects.

Will taking too much paracetamol-pheniramine make you feel cold?
If an excessive amount of paracetamol, chlorpheniramine, and artificial bezoar is taken, the chlorpheniramine component may intensify sedative effects, potentially impairing the body's temperature regulation function, causing vasoconstriction, and subsequently leading to chills, often accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness. At this point, the drug concentration in the body is too high, exceeding the normal regulatory range, making abnormal physical reactions more likely to occur.

Is umeclidinium/vilanterol inhalation powder a hormonal drug?
In clinical practice, if a patient's condition requires combination therapy (e.g., concomitant severe airway inflammation), this drug may be used together with inhaled corticosteroids; however, this drug itself is still not classified as a corticosteroid. The purpose of combination therapy is to achieve both bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects. It is important to distinguish between "combination therapy containing steroids" and "the drug itself containing steroids" to avoid confusion regarding the drug's properties.
