What medications should I take for a cold and fever?

There are several medications available for treating cold and fever; the specific choice should be determined based on the condition and medical advice. Below are some common types of medications and their functions: 1. Antipyretic analgesics: Such as acetaminophen tablets and ibuprofen tablets. These medications have antipyretic and analgesic effects, helping to relieve symptoms of the common cold such as fever, headache, and muscle pain. 2. Heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine (patent medicine): Such as Banlangen Granules and Lianhua Qingwen Capsules. These medicines can clear heat and toxins and are suitable for treating colds caused by external wind-heat, such as cough, fever, and sore throat. When taking medications, it is important to follow medical instructions, avoiding excessive or improper use to prevent adverse reactions and drug dependency.
