Lianhua Qingwen Capsules have certain therapeutic effects on influenza B. It is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation that functions to clear away epidemic toxins, resolve toxicity, promote lung function, and relieve heat, and also has antiviral properties. If patients suffer from influenza B or similar conditions, they may experience discomfort such as muscle aches, fever, cough, and sore throat. In such cases, this medication can be used under medical guidance. However, Lianhua Qingwen Capsules are not suitable for all patients, especially those allergic to the drug or those with deficiency-cold in the spleen and stomach. If symptoms of influenza B or other discomforts occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention to avoid delaying treatment.
