Introduction
Although Kaihoujian spray has relatively high therapeutic efficacy and good safety profile, it generally should not be used continuously for one month. Prolonged use may irritate the mucous membranes at the application site, potentially causing symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Additionally, long-term use may increase the risk of drug resistance, making it difficult to effectively control the condition and possibly leading to disease progression.

Kaihoujian typically refers to Kaihoujian Spray, which generally should not be used continuously for a month.

Kaihoujian Spray is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation made from herbal ingredients such as Sophora tonkinensis root, cicada slough, eight-clawed dragon (Corydalis), menthol, and others. It primarily functions to reduce swelling and relieve pain, clear heat, and detoxify the body. Clinically, it is used to treat symptoms such as dry and bitter mouth, swollen and painful gums, sore throat, oral ulcers, and other abnormalities caused by excessive heat in the lungs and stomach. Although Kaihoujian Spray demonstrates high efficacy and safety in clinical use, it is generally not recommended for continuous use over a period of one month. Prolonged use may irritate the mucous membranes at the application site, leading to adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting. Additionally, long-term use may increase the risk of drug resistance, reducing effectiveness in controlling the condition and potentially causing the illness to worsen over time.

To ensure safe medication use, patients are advised to use Kaihoujian Spray under the guidance of a physician to prevent potential complications.
