What medication should be taken for a heat-related cold?

Heat-type cold, also known as wind-heat cold, can usually be treated with the following medications: 1. Chinese patent medicines: such as heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines (e.g., Vitamin C Yinqiao tablets, Lianhua Qingwen capsules, Banlangen granules, etc.), and pungent-cool exterior-resolving medicines (e.g., Sangju感冒 tablets, Ganmao Qingre granules, etc.). These medications have effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, reducing inflammation, relieving cough, and improving symptoms such as fever, aversion to wind, sweating, nasal congestion, and yellow nasal discharge. 2. Antipyretic analgesics: such as Paracetamol tablets, Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, etc., which can reduce body temperature and improve symptoms such as headache and muscle pain. 3. Antiviral medications: if the heat-type cold is caused by a viral infection, antiviral drugs such as Oseltamivir phosphate capsules and Ribavirin tablets may be used. Specific medication should be determined according to individual conditions and based on a doctor's advice.
