Prepare cold medicine for your trip during the May Day holiday

This year's May Day holiday lasted for 5 consecutive days, and many people have already made travel plans. Although the epidemic situation in the country is currently stable and all parts of the country are low-risk areas, the global epidemic is still highly prevalent. In addition, it is currently the peak season for respiratory infectious diseases. During the May Day holiday, there are dense crowds of people traveling, and the risk of cold and flu transmission is further increased. So during this "special" holiday, what should you pay attention to when traveling so that you can have a safe and comfortable trip?

Lianhua Qingwen is a common medicine for traveling

During the May Day travel, some people may experience symptoms such as fever and cough. There is no need to be nervous or anxious, as they are generally caused by colds or flu. Experts pointed out that the traditional Chinese medicine Lianhua Qingwen capsules and granules have the advantages of overall regulation and multi-target effects in the prevention and treatment of colds and flu. The medicine absorbs the essence of the medicine used by doctors of all dynasties to treat exogenous febrile diseases. It combines Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" with Yin Qiao San in "Treatise on Warm Diseases", draws on the experience of using rhubarb to treat epidemic syndromes in Wu Youke's "Treatise on Warm Epidemics" in the Ming Dynasty, and is combined with Rhodiola rosea to clear the lungs and remove blood stasis, regulate immunity, and embody the characteristics of active intervention. It has the characteristics of treating both the Wei Qi and the exterior and interior; using medicine first and cutting off the disease. Whether it is a cold or flu, it can be effectively treated.

Research by the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences, the Guangzhou State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Diseases and other scientific research institutes has proven that Lianhua Qingwen can significantly inhibit this year's popular influenza A virus H3N2, as well as influenza A H1N1, H5N1, H7N9, H9N2 viruses, influenza B virus, SARS coronavirus and other viruses; effectively inhibit a variety of bacteria, which is beneficial for the treatment of mixed infections; reduce fever and inflammation, relieve cough and reduce phlegm; regulate immunity, enhance disease resistance and recovery, and reduce the recurrence of influenza and lung infections, showing the unique advantages of overall regulation. For the common cold and influenza, early medication can play a therapeutic role early.

Academician Zhong Nanshan once pointed out: "In the double-blind evidence-based medical research recognized by clinicians as the most rigorous, Lianhua Qingwen showed an effective therapeutic effect in alleviating the symptoms of influenza patients, especially for patients with high fever symptoms who used it in the early stage of the disease." Academician Zhong Nanshan believes that the antiviral concept of Chinese medicine is different from that of Western medicine. Chinese medicine has a systemic regulatory effect, which is the characteristic and strength of Chinese medicine. For the common cold, general fever, sneezing, runny nose, etc. must be taken seriously in daily life. Lianhua Qingwen should be used early to buy time for effective treatment to avoid prolonged illness.

Don’t worry if you keep coughing, Lianhua cough clearer will help you feel good when traveling

Colds and flu are easy to treat, but when colds and flu trigger tracheobronchitis, people often have persistent coughs. Some people cannot recover for ten days or half a month, which is very distressing. Moreover, the concern about the new coronavirus has made a minor illness like coughing a cause of panic.

Traditional Chinese medicine has great advantages in treating persistent cough and sputum. In the pharmacodynamic study of Lianhua Qingke Tablets, the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University and others found that Lianhua Qingke Tablets can reduce mucus secretion of bronchial epithelial cells, reduce bronchial wall edema, and relieve bronchial inflammation. At the same time, the expectorant effect of Lianhua Qingke Tablets is reflected in diluting sputum and preventing the formation of sputum plugs. It promotes sputum discharge by increasing capillary sputum discharge. A randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of Lianhua Qingke Tablets for the treatment of acute tracheobronchitis, involving 8 units across the country and a total of 480 patients, showed that Lianhua Qingke Tablets have a definite cough and expectorant effect, which can effectively relieve patients' symptoms such as cough, sputum, dry throat and thirst, and chest tightness, and is safe for clinical use.

During the COVID-19 epidemic, Lianhua Qingke Tablets passed the emergency filing of the Hebei Provincial Drug Administration and were recommended by the Hebei Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine for use in the medical treatment of COVID-19. The results showed that the addition of Lianhua Qingke Tablets to conventional treatment can effectively improve the cough and sputum symptoms of COVID-19 patients, increase the disappearance rate of cough and sputum symptoms and shorten their duration.

Experts pointed out that Lianhua Qingwen focuses on antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects, while Lianhua Qingke focuses on reducing sputum formation, lowering sputum viscosity, and promoting sputum discharge. The two medicines work together in treatment, and the combined clinical application has better results. Therefore, these two medicines must be packed in your travel bag for this year's May Day trip.
