How many days does it take to recover from a wind-heat cold?

The recovery time of wind-heat cold depends on the severity of the cold, the patient’s own constitution, the immunity of the body and the treatment, which cannot be generalized, but it can generally be recovered in a week. Wind-heat colds belong to the Yang Ming meridian evidence, and patients often show symptoms such as fever, sweating, headache, cough, nasal congestion and yellow runny nose. If the cold symptoms are mild and the immune system is good, the patient can get relief by drinking more water and taking more rest without taking medicine, and can recover in a week or so. If the condition is more serious and the cold symptoms such as headache are obvious, the body may be more weak and the recovery time will be relatively longer. Patients are advised to take heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines such as Banlangen under the guidance of doctors to relieve the discomfort of cold. In addition, patients with wind and fever colds need to be treated with one type of anti-cold medicine when taking medication. If they take multiple drugs at the same time, they may overdose certain drug ingredients and cause adverse reactions. In daily life, patients also need to exercise properly, pay attention to keeping warm and keep their diet as light as possible.
