Symptoms of Wind-Heat include dry or sore throat, fever, and nasal congestion with thick yellow mucus.

Wind-Cold symptoms include strong aversion to cold, stuffy or runny nose with white phlegm, and an achy body.

A common classical herbal formula for boosting the Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) is Yu Ping Feng San (Jade Wind-Screen).
