Sore throat caused by a cold due to wind-cold invasion mainly results from exposure to cold and wind, which weakens the patient's immunity and leads to viral infection. Symptoms primarily include sore throat, coughing, runny nose, fever, and sometimes throat pain, pharyngeal spasms, and a burning sensation in the throat. Generally, sore throat from wind-cold感冒 can be managed through dietary adjustments, drinking plenty of water, getting adequate rest, and taking appropriate medication. Patients should maintain fresh indoor air by frequently opening windows for ventilation and keep the throat area clean. If symptoms worsen, prompt medical attention is recommended.
