Dr. Yang Shuwen
Wind-heat感冒 may be caused by low immunity, leading to physical weakness and susceptibility to external pathogenic factors such as wind and cold. It could also result from hot weather and excessive consumption of raw or cold foods, causing an imbalance between heat and cold in the body. Treatment under medical guidance may include detoxifying and heat-clearing medications. Commonly used drugs include Sangju Cold Tablets and Niuhuang Qinggan Capsules.
