Dr. Yang Shuwen
How many days it takes to recover from a wind-heat type of common cold depends on the specific circumstances. If the patient is in good physical condition, has mild symptoms, receives timely treatment under a doctor's guidance, and maintains healthy daily habits, recovery usually takes about 3 to 5 days. However, if the patient is physically weak or has a more severe case of cold, or does not follow medical advice for treatment, the recovery period may be longer, possibly around 7 to 10 days.
