Which cold medicine works best?

Although this disease is not serious enough to take people's lives, it will make many people feel very uncomfortable and affect their normal work and life, because a cold can cause nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing, and make people feel weak all over.

Symptoms of wind-cold colds can be seen: severe aversion to cold, mild fever, no sweating, headache and body aches, nasal congestion and clear runny nose, cough and spitting thin white sputum, no thirst or thirsty for hot drinks. Symptoms of wind-heat colds are severe fever, slight aversion to wind, swelling and pain in the head, sweating, red and swollen throat and pain, cough, sticky or yellow sputum, nasal congestion and yellow runny nose, thirst and like to drink. The simplest difference between the two colds is that wind-heat colds cause sweating, while wind-cold does not cause sweating.
