Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Xiuhong
Under normal circumstances, Zheng Chai Hu Yin Granules can reduce fever, but they are not suitable for all types of fever.
Zheng Chai Hu Yin Granules mainly consist of Bupleurum, Scutellaria, Pinellia, and other ingredients, and have the functions of relieving superficies and cold pathogens and harmonizing the defensive and nutritive systems. They are commonly used to treat symptoms such as fever, headache, and cough caused by exogenous wind-cold, and are suitable for the early stages of common cold accompanied by low or moderate fever. Therefore, during the initial stage of exogenous wind-cold when fever symptoms appear, Zheng Chai Hu Yin Granules can exert good therapeutic effects.
However, Zheng Chai Hu Yin Granules are not suitable for all types of fever. If the fever is caused by other conditions, such as wind-heat感冒 or high fever, their effectiveness may be limited. Therefore, when using Zheng Chai Hu Yin Granules, treatment should be based on the patient's specific condition and constitution, following the doctor's recommendations and dosage instructions, to avoid self-adjusting the dosage or prolonged use, thus ensuring efficacy and safety.
During the course of taking Zheng Chai Hu Yin Granules, patients should avoid consuming spicy, greasy, raw, or cold foods, as these may affect the effectiveness of the medication.
