👉 In Western medicine, this is an immune response problem
👉 In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), it is often linked to:
- 🌬️ Weak Lung Qi (impaired defense system)
- 🌿 Spleen imbalance (reduced energy transformation)
- ❄️ External Wind invasion (seasonal pathogens)

Symptoms can range from mild irritation to severe discomfort.
Common Symptoms Include:
