Dr. He Haochen
Wind-heat感冒 is a common condition characterized by typical symptoms such as fever, chills, sweating, nasal congestion, dizziness, headache, cough, yellow nasal discharge, dry mouth, and thirst. This condition is usually caused by the combined effect of external wind-cold invasion and internal lung heat, and may sometimes result from viral infection. To effectively relieve the discomfort of wind-heat感冒, patients may take medications that clear heat and dispel cold, which help eliminate internal heat pathogens and alleviate heat-related symptoms. Combining these with antiviral medications can more effectively suppress the virus and promote recovery. However, please note that it is advisable to consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking any medication to ensure safe and effective use.
