If influenza patients have symptoms of muscle aches, patients can follow the doctor's instructions to take symptomatic drugs**, such as Lianhua Qingwen Capsule, which is a recommended drug in the "2023 Influenza Traditional Chinese Medicine Prevention and Control Plan" issued by many provinces and cities, and can also be combined with daily care to improve symptoms.
When the influenza virus invades the body, it causes an inflammatory response, and inflammatory factors can irritate muscle tissue, causing soreness. It can also cause fever, increased anaerobic metabolism, and secrete more lactic acid to accumulate in the muscles, which can also lead to muscle soreness. Lianhua Qingwen Capsule has broad-spectrum antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, regulating immunity and other pharmacological effects, can inhibit the replication of influenza A virus, influenza B virus and other influenza viruses, inhibit inflammatory reactions, reduce the release of IL-6, TNF- and other inflammatory factors, effectively alleviate muscle aches, fever or high fever, headache, dry throat and sore throat, nasal congestion and runny nose and other symptoms, but also shorten the course of the disease and promote recovery. Moreover, the drug is a pure traditional Chinese medicine preparation, which has good safety and is not easy to cause adverse reactions such as drowsiness after taking it.
In addition, patients should maintain sufficient rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and can appropriately apply hot compresses or massage local muscles to promote local blood circulation, accelerate lactate decomposition, and assist in relieving the symptoms of muscle soreness.
