Whether colds caused by wind-cold or wind-heat recover quickly varies from person to person, as the severity of illness and individual resistance differ, so the recovery time can also vary.

Generally, whether it's a wind-heat or wind-cold cold, it usually takes about 3 to 7 days to see significant improvement. In severe cases, it may take about 10 days to recover effectively. During the recovery period, attention should also be paid to diet, such as consuming more digestible foods, or undergoing medication treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.
