What are the contraindications for taking Fengre Ganmao Granules?
Disease description:
I've had a mild cold for the past couple of days, and the doctor diagnosed it as a "wind-heat" type of cold. I was prescribed Wind-Heat Cold Granules. Could you please let me know what precautions or contraindications I should be aware of when taking these granules?

When taking Fengre Ganmao Granules, it is important to avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, and refrain from eating spicy, irritating, or cold foods such as hot pot, barbecued items, and ice cream, as these may worsen the condition. Individuals who are allergic to any ingredient in Fengre Ganmao Granules should not take this medication to prevent allergic reactions and increased discomfort. Additionally, during treatment, avoid concurrently using other tonic Chinese patent medicines, as they may cause gastrointestinal sluggishness and hinder recovery. Patients are advised to use this medication under the guidance of a physician and should not self-medicate to avoid adverse effects.
