Introduction
Generally, Ganmaoling is effective in treating headaches caused by exposure to air conditioning. The antipyretic and analgesic ingredients in Ganmaoling, such as acetaminophen, can inhibit the synthesis and release of prostaglandins, thereby achieving antipyretic and pain-relieving effects, and alleviating pain symptoms such as headaches and muscle pain caused by colds. In addition to medication, it is also recommended to drink more water, get adequate rest, and maintain a light diet.

Generally, Ganmaoling has a certain therapeutic effect on headaches caused by exposure to air conditioning. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Headaches caused by air conditioning may result from the typically closed and poorly ventilated air-conditioned room, leading to cerebral hypoxia and dryness of the respiratory mucosa. Alternatively, direct cold air blowing onto the head can cause cerebral blood vessels to constrict and spasm due to cold stimulation. Additionally, poor air circulation in air-conditioned rooms can promote the growth of viruses and bacteria, making individuals with weakened immune systems more susceptible to infections that cause headaches. The antipyretic and analgesic ingredients in Ganmaoling, such as paracetamol, can inhibit the synthesis and release of prostaglandins, providing antipyretic and pain-relieving effects. It can alleviate pain symptoms such as headaches and muscle pain caused by the common cold.

However, it should be noted that although Ganmaoling is effective in treating headaches caused by air conditioning, it is not suitable for everyone. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and individuals with impaired liver or kidney function should use it cautiously to avoid adverse reactions. Alcohol consumption should also be avoided during treatment with Ganmaoling to prevent reduced drug effectiveness or an increased risk of adverse reactions.

In addition to pharmacological treatment, non-pharmacological measures can also be used to relieve headaches caused by exposure to air conditioning, such as drinking plenty of water, getting adequate rest, maintaining a light diet, performing head massages, and keeping appropriate indoor humidity levels.
