This condition has a seasonal pattern, so patients should be vigilant. It commonly occurs more frequently in spring and autumn. Patients can consume more calcium-rich foods and fruits, as well as nutritious foods, to enhance their body's resistance and actively treat the condition to alleviate symptoms. Oral medications that promote blood circulation, unblock meridians, counteract wind-dampness, and supplement calcium may also be used for treatment.
