Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

The onset of fever is relatively acute. Early symptoms include a dry or burning sensation in the throat, chills, nasal congestion, and a runny nose, which has already started as clear nasal discharge and becomes thicker after 2-3 days. It may be accompanied by a sore throat. Generally, there is no fever or only mild fever with a headache. Recovery usually occurs within 5-7 days.
Taking excessive wind-heat cold medicine can lead to a constitution that is constitutionally cold. It is recommended to visit the traditional Chinese medicine department of a hospital for follow-up. Avoid taking medication randomly for self-treatment, as this not only has no effective therapeutic effect but may also worsen the condition.
