The common western antiviral drugs mainly include acyclovir, ribavirin, amantadine, oseltamivir, etc., and oseltamivir is more widely used at present. Chinese patent medicine antiviral drugs mainly include Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Antiviral Oral Liquid, Four Seasons Antiviral Compound, and Lianhua Qingfei Capsules. For general viral infections caused by upper respiratory tract infections, because these infections are self-limiting diseases, they can be treated without antiviral drugs for the time being. If the symptoms of viral infection are severe, only symptomatic treatment is needed to relieve the symptoms of respiratory discomfort. However, if the viral cold is secondary to a bacterial infection, anti-inflammatory drugs may be needed at this time.
