Dr. Yang Shuwen
Wind-heat感冒 may resolve on its own. Wind-heat感冒 is usually caused by an external invasion of wind and heat, and it is typically self-limiting. With adequate rest, drinking plenty of warm water, and moderate physical exercise, the condition can heal naturally. If a patient has good physical health, strong resistance to disease, and the wind-heat感冒 is mild without complications, recovery may occur more quickly. However, if symptoms are severe, the time required for spontaneous recovery may be prolonged. It is recommended that patients with wind-heat感冒 seek appropriate treatment methods under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delayed treatment and worsening of the condition.
