Dr. Yang Shuwen
Whether patients with wind-heat感冒 can take ibuprofen granules usually depends on their body temperature. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, they can generally take ibuprofen granules under a doctor's guidance to regulate body temperature and prevent further increase. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, taking ibuprofen granules is usually not recommended. Instead, physical methods such as drinking more hot water, using cooling patches, or warm water sponge baths may be used to help reduce body temperature.
