Patient's question:
I have a cold and a fever, runny nose, tearing eyes, and my eyes are feeling itchy. What medicine can be effective? I am currently taking Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Cold Capsules, but I don't feel it's working well.Doctor's answer:
Fever, also known as cold, is a common upper respiratory tract infection. The main clinical manifestations include nasal congestion, runny nose, fever, and hiccups. The course of the disease is usually 3–7 days. Based on your condition, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it has been diagnosed as fever with wind-cold syndrome. The treatment primarily focuses on ventilating the lungs and relieving the exterior, with the foundation of dispelling wind and expelling cold. It is recommended that you take Ma Xing Fei Ao Pian under the guidance of a doctor, which has the functions of ventilating the lungs and relieving the exterior, as well as dispelling wind and expelling cold. Drink plenty of hot water, get adequate rest, and the symptoms can resolve on their own. When the symptoms subside, you may consider taking Jing Fang Bai Du Wan, Xing Su San, or Can Su Pian.
