Disease description:

My son has had a cold for the past couple of days. After visiting the hospital, the doctor prescribed Lianhua Qingwen Granules and Magan Granules. Since I'm not familiar with these medications, I'd like to know if it's safe to take both of them together.

Lianhua Qingwen Granules and Magan Granules can usually be taken together. Clinically, Lianhua Qingwen Granules have the effects of promoting lung function, relieving heat, clearing away toxic heat, and resolving exterior pathogens. Magan Granules clinically help relieve asthma and cough, soothe the throat, and expel phlegm. When these two medications are taken together, they typically do not cause toxic or side effects. They are primarily used to treat symptoms caused by influenza, such as a reddish tongue, fever, and muscle aches.
