Influenza usually refers to the flu. Lianhua Qingwen granules can normally be used to prevent influenza. Lianhua Qingwen granules are primarily intended to treat discomfort symptoms caused by influenza associated with heat-toxin attacking the lung syndrome. Therefore, when used as directed by a healthcare provider, this medication may help prevent the onset of illness. Influenza can also be prevented through influenza vaccination.
