Two days ago, I wrote a "how to distinguish between viral colds and bacterial colds" answer, caused a lot of friends' attention, many people asked in the message can say again the difference between wind-cold and wind-heat colds, because in recent times, due to the temperature difference between day and night is large, many people suffer from colds and colds, and coupled with the reasons for the epidemic, many people even do not want to run to the hospital. So, today I will talk to you about the difference between wind cold and wind heat cold, and how to use the medicine.

I. What is wind-cold and wind-heat cold?

Chinese medicine believes that the reason why people get sick is due to "wind, cold, summer, moisture, dryness, fire," the six obscene evil invasion of the human body caused by the "Nei Jing" said inside the "wind for the longest of all diseases," that is to say, many of the human body's diseases are dominated by the wind, when the wind with cold evil When the wind and cold evil together attack the human body, often the formation of wind-cold evidence; when the wind and heat evil together attack the human body, often the formation of wind-heat evidence, which is what we usually say wind-cold cold and wind-heat cold.

Generally speaking, wind-cold cold is caused by the external attack of wind-cold evil and the loss of lung qi, which is generally caused by too much exertion, no good rest, poor body resistance, plus wind or cold, so this wind-cold cold is generally easy to happen in the cold season of autumn and winter, the human body is easy to feel the wind and the cold, which forms the wind-cold cold; and wind-heat cold is caused by the wind-heat evil that offends the surface and the loss of lung qi, which is recorded in the "Source of All Diseases". The wind-heat cold is caused by the wind-heat evil that offends the surface and the lungs are out of harmony:"Wind-heat disease, wind-heat gas, first from the skin into the lungs. Lung for the five organs on the cover, waiting for the body of the skin, if the skin and the coupling is weak, then the wind-heat gas, the first injury to the skin, is into the lungs."So, wind-heat colds usually occur during the spring and summer months, when it is warmer and the combination of wind and heat makes people susceptible to wind-heat colds.

Of course, wind-cold and wind-heat colds are not only related to the seasons, but also related to the individual differences in our physique and our personal life, so we can't say that a cold in the fall and winter is a wind-cold and a cold in the spring and summer is a wind-heat cold. For example, if we sweat too much in summer and immediately enter an air-conditioned room, then it is easy to cause wind-cold cold; for example, some patients with internal heat are also prone to wind-heat colds in the fall and winter seasons. Therefore, this also needs to look at the respective symptoms to better distinguish.

Second, how to distinguish between wind-cold and wind-heat cold?

The causes of wind-cold and wind-heat colds have been mentioned above, and the following are some of the symptoms that make it easier to distinguish the difference between them.

Whether it is wind-cold or wind-heat cold, they can cause fever and head and limb pain, this is not much significance for the difference between them, so this can be ignored, the following we only say that some of the more obvious difference, can be seen at a glance to come.

●1,Depends on how bad the cold is to a lesser degree:Generally speaking, because wind-cold colds are caused by wind and cold air attacking the body, resulting in the pores of the skin being tightly closed, so that the wind and cold stay on the surface of the body, while the temperature outside the body cannot come in, this will easily give rise to bad wind and cold, that is to say, they are particularly afraid of the cold and of the wind blowing, and they will suffer from chills, and will have to cover up with a lot of quilts in order to not feel the cold; and wind-heat colds, because they are caused by the wind and the heat, may cause a slight bad wind and cold, however, they are absolutely not going to have chills. On the other hand, wind-heat colds are caused by wind and heat, which may cause mild wind and cold, but they will never have chills.

●2,Look for sweating.Generally speaking, wind-cold colds are caused by wind-cold, which causes the pores to close tightly, and there is no sweat, or only a small amount of sweat, and the sweat is accompanied by a bad wind and a bad cold; while wind-heat colds are caused by wind-heat, and the heat is constantly coming out of the patient, and the patient's temperature is very hot, and they sweat a lot, and they may even get their clothes and blankets wet all of a sudden.

●3,See if you are thirsty and whether you prefer cold or hot drinksWind-cold cold people because there is cold invading the body, the disease is on the surface, the body's fluids are not injured, so they do not feel thirsty, you ask them if they want to drink water, they are not thirsty, and do not want to drink water, even if they drink water, they only want to drink hotter water, they will not drink cold water; while the wind-heat cold is a heat evil, often injuries to the inside of the body, these heat evil as well as the effect of the loss of fluids, so they are especially thirsty and want to drink water, and still like to drink cold water.

●4,Look for swelling and pain in the throatThe most common symptom is a slight redness of the throat; however, it is not the same for wind-cold colds, which are often characterized by soreness as well as redness and swelling of the throat, which is an important indicator for determining wind-heat colds and is a typical manifestation of wind-heat colds.

●5,Look at the snot.In general, the wind-cold cold snot is more clear, even feel like water like flow out, stop can not stop, in addition, sometimes we will be in the beginning of the time to stay clear nose, after two days after the yellow snot This is because the cold evil into the inside, appeared in the change of the disease; and wind-heat cold of the nose is often more thick yellow snot, like a slug can be hung in the nostrils of the that, it is more difficult to drip out of the nose.

With these more obvious symptoms above, we can basically determine wind-cold and wind-heat coldsThe difference between the two is not as clear as it seems. Of course, if you want to more accurately determine the difference between them, then you also need a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take the pulse, this will not be expanded here.

Third, how to correctly treat wind-cold and wind-heat cold with medication?

The principle of treatment for wind-cold cold is to dispel the wind-cold with pungent warmth and dispersing the wind-cold. Many of us should have had the feeling that when we catch a cold, as long as we sweat, our colds will be cured, so, clinically, we usually treat wind-cold colds by sweating and dispersing the wind-cold. As for what medication to use, we can refer to the chart below. Commonly used proprietary Chinese medicines generally include Cold and Flu Clearing Granules, Cold and Flu Soft Capsules, and Cold and Flu Sharing Tablets.

The principle of treatment for wind-heat colds is to cool and relieve the epidermis, evacuate the wind-heat, and if only sweating alone is ineffective in treating wind-heat colds, just as we take a foot bath to sweat, which is basically ineffective in treating wind-heat colds. This must be the invasion of the body's wind evil, heat evil to clear away, so that can be effective, so should use some of the heat detoxification drugs, you can refer to the following chart, commonly used proprietary Chinese medicines, including Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, Yin Qiao detoxification tablets, Banlangen granules, and so on.

Overall, only by differentiating between wind-cold and wind-heat colds can you know which medicines to use for treatment, so that you can have faster and better results. In addition.The therapeutic drugs provided above are only as a medical science, not as a guide to clinical use of medication, but also need to go through the TCM doctor's diagnosis and prescription only after the use of, rather than blindly using it, because the disease can develop some variations in the process of development, and at this time it is necessary to be symptomatic, and the medication will be effective.

No matter how good your body is, you will get sick, and colds are the most common illnesses. Western medicine categorizes colds into bacterial colds and viral colds from pathogenic bacteria, while traditional Chinese medicine categorizes colds into wind-cold and wind-heat colds according to their symptoms.

Wind-cold cold with heavy nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, malignant cold, no fever or little fever, no sweating, body aches and pains, cough with white sputum and sparse, thin white tongue coating, floating tight pulse. The treatment should be pungent and warm to relieve the surface, promote the lungs to disperse cold, clinically, generally use the Jing defense septic powder.

Wind-heat cold with nasal congestion and sneezing, thick runny nose, fever or high fever, slight malignant wind, sweating and dryness, sore throat, cough with thick phlegm, thin yellow tongue coating and floating pulse. Treatment should be pungent and cool to relieve the surface, promote lung and clear heat, clinically generally use Yin Qiao San.

It should be noted that generally wind-heat colds will not turn into wind-cold colds, but wind-cold colds can turn into wind-heat colds if they are not properly treated and cared for. In addition to wind-cold and wind-heat colds, there are also cold and heat colds, which are characterized by cold on the surface and heat on the inside, and are usually treated with Shuang Xie Tang. In summer, one should be careful of summer-dampness colds and should pay attention to removing dampness.

Hello, I am happy to answer your question. Wind-cold and wind-cold flu are collectively referred to as exogenous illnesses. I believe that everyone has experienced the problem of colds, many friends can not figure out what is the wind-cold cold, what is the wind-heat cold, so can not accurately select the targeted prevention and treatment methods, today, Dr. Zhu combined with professional knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, for you to do a comprehensive and accurate answer to the analysis.

The disease and said the external sensation, the disease from the outside into the internal also. Outside of what? Wind, cold, summer, wet, dry, fire six obscene gas. If the person is not properly adjusted, yin and yang even good behavior, six evil that is to get and dry - "medical theory of the real

Due to the different pathogenic characteristics and manifestations of colds, Chinese medicine categorizes colds into exogenous wind-cold and exogenous wind-heat. The so-called external infection is the human body feels the six evil influences of nature, namely wind, cold, summer, dampness, dryness and fire. Although the cause of external infection is the six evils, it occurs when there are mood swings, cold and heat, lack of sleep, and other improper conditioning, similar to the modern medical science said that the immune system is reduced.

If you do not live and rise, sleep when the wind, cold and snow, not because of the infection and headache, in addition to the six evil, so-called people from the cold disease also - "the cause of the disease pulse treatment"!

Wind and cold attack the skin and hair of the human body at the same time, causing the manifestation of the disease is wind-cold flu. If wind is the main cause, it is often characterized by no fever, but fear of wind and spontaneous sweating, sneezing one after another, nasal mucus as thin as water, and in severe cases, it is necessary to stuff the nostrils with paper, and the pharynx is dry and itchy.。If the cold is the main evil, with fever, no sweat, cold, cold, pain in the body, back pain, headache, tongue light pulse tightness as the main performance, wind and cold at the same time invasion of the human body, cold stagnation of the blood, so the pain in the body is more obvious. Wind and heat at the same time invade the human body muscle surface of the mouth and nose, often appear fire and heat on the inflammation of the performance, such as fever and headache, throat red, swollen and congested, easy to heat the meat of the body to putrefy and pus, such as tonsillitis, acute pharyngitis, nasal discharge of yellow slugs, dry mouth and thirst, dry stools, red tongue and pulse number. Both wind-cold and wind-heat colds are similar to upper respiratory tract infections, acute pharyngitis and acute tonsillitis. Viral infections can cause wind-cold and wind-heat cold symptoms, but some people's wind-heat colds can be triggered by bacteria.

Wind injures people either with cold or heat, or in heat, or in cold - Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine)

Wind-cold and wind-heat have the existence of "wind evil", so both colds have the pathogenic characteristics of wind evil, "Neijing" says "wind is the longest of all diseases", often mixed with other evils, such as wind-cold, wind-heat, wind-dampness. Wind is a yang evil, there is a certain heat, often good at circulation walking, meaning that the disease starts quickly, easy to cause fever manifestations, such as colds often develop faster, fever temperature often rises rapidly. The heat of wind tends to rise upward and attack the head, often resulting in headaches. Wind is easy to disturb the body's yang, wind is yang, and yang qi wrestling knot, yang qi want to disperse the wind, in the local movement of excessive itching is easy to appear, such as dry and itchy throat, itchy eyes, itchy nose and so on. The image of the "Neijing" will wind evil attack on the body surface is summarized as "wind from the outside, people vibrate cold, headache fever, body weight and cold".

If you have fever, or if you don't have fever, and you have to have bad cold, body pain, vomiting, and your pulse is tight in both yin and yang, then you are called typhoid fever - The Treatise on Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases

The recurrence of wind-cold and wind-heat in a person indicates that he has a disorder of the internal organs or is accompanied by an underlying disease, and should be taken seriously.

★What is a wind-cold cold?

• Wind-cold flu is also known as "external cold syndrome". The symptoms of wind-cold are caused by the wind-cold evil that invades the human body's skin and fur. For example, if you are cold in the rain or in an air-conditioned room for a long period of time, you are prone to wind-cold problems.The key to wind-cold cold is the pathogenic manifestation of cold, cold for Yin, easy to invade the body's yang, the outside world invasion of wind and cold and the human body's surface of the Wei Qi fight, Wei Qi is the defense of the human body's gas, is the lung Qi Xuanfa to the surface of the circumference of the body of the yang, cold damage to the Wei Qi, Wei Qi can not be warmed up the skin and muscles, there is a cold symptom, the Wei Yang is cold stagnant, and the Yu and the transformation of the heat, the problem of fever. Cold stagnation of muscle surface qi and blood, blood stagnation, not through the pass, so there will be peripheral aches and pains, headache and lumbago, many people feel pain and fatigue abnormal. Blood by the cold contraction, the pulse is tense, wind-cold in the surface pulse floating in the subcutaneous, so wind-cold cold is the pulse floating tight pulse characteristics. The Internal Canon says that "the skin and hair in the lungs", so the wind-cold in the surface can also affect the lung qi XuanDaSuDi, causing cough, cough sputum clear thin.

When a person is injured by cold, he is sick with fever - Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine)

• In addition, if wind-cold cold is mainly caused by wind, and the degree of cold is mild, it is often referred to as "external wind syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine, which is often referred to as "windy". The performance of the wind evil attack to cause disease characteristics, such as not fever, but uncomfortable, headache, nasal congestion, nasal discharge, nasal discharge like water, some people repeatedly blow their noses, nostrils around the red and swollen. Wind is a yang evil, clearing and opening, performance of the body bouts of fever and sweating, but the body temperature is not high, wind active, stagnation of yang qi, the appearance of itchy nose and throat, sneezing more.

By the external wind-cold, if the cold evil in the surface has not been resolved, there will be fever and headache, into the body pain without sweating, or nasal congestion and runny nose, fear of cold constriction, the pulse to see the tightness of the number of people is also--Jingyue quanquan

• Summarize: triggered by the etiology of wind-cold, the pathological basis is the wind-cold and body surface Weiqi fight with each other, manifested as malignant cold and fear of cold obviously, fever or not, peripheral pain, headache, cough, snotty nose, sneezing again and again, the tongue is pale and the pulse is floating and tight.
• Treatment is based on relieving the surface and dispersing the cold, dispersing the wind and promoting the lungs.

★What is a wind-heat cold?

• Wind-heat colds are also known as "wind-heat colds". Cold symptoms caused by wind-heat evils that attack the body's surface, skin, nose and mouth are wind-heat colds. For example, if you have a long time in the hot and dry environment, or emotional irritability after the formation of the physique of Yang heat, it is easy to feel the nature of the wind-heat evil, I often encountered some wind-heat cold patients and I said that the wind-heat symptoms appeared in the emergency after the fire. Clinically, it is also common to see patients with wind-cold cold taking antipyretic drugs, and then excessive cover sweating, resulting in too much sweating, fluid damage, wind-cold into wind-heat.

Wind is the Yang Qi of Heaven. Warmth is the evil of heat. The two yangs are scorched. It first injures the upper jiao. All sorts of changes. The three yin of the hand is the source of the disease. Head swelling and sweating. Body heat and cough, must be seen together. When combined with pungent and cool light agents. Clearing and resolving is the first priority - Guide to Clinical Case Studies

• The pathology of wind and heat attack on the human body is based on the "heat" in the table, "warm disease" said "warm disease by the mouth and nose, from top to bottom, nose through the lungs". Wind and heat are both yang evil, violating the muscle surface of the mouth and nose, often caused by fever, headache with a feeling of swelling and cracking, although there can be a cold, but the fear of cold after the body temperature often rises rapidly, heat injuries to the fluid!Often there is yellow nasal discharge, thirst and dry mouth, heat-sheng meat rot, often there is congestion and swelling of the throat, or pus and sore throat, and enlarged lymph nodes. Individuals appear to injure the throat, hoarseness, heat caused by blood flow within the blood veins accelerated, often appear to pulse beat faster, the formation of several pulse, wind-heat in the surface, the pulse floating up, so the pulse floating number is the wind-heat cold pulse characteristics. Wind-heat in the surface, internalized in the lungs, nasopharynx is the gateway to the lungs, wind-heat can affect the lungs to promote and purge, resulting in coughing, but heat injuries to the fluid often appear after the phlegm is yellow, sputum, and so on.
• Summary: Wind-heat colds are characterized by the manifestation of heat evils, with higher fever, headache, red and swollen throat, cough, thirst, red tongue and floating pulse.
• Treatment is based on dispersing wind and clearing heat, relieving the surface and promoting the lungs.

The evil of wind-heat is a new sensation. At the beginning of cold and heat, headache and dizziness, or sweating, or coughing, or red eyes, or yellow mucus, yellow moss on the tongue, and a floating pulse, the first thing to do is to use pungent and cool methods to relieve the epidemiology - The Treatise on Seasonal Diseases.

★Professional summary and recommendations

Wind-cold and wind-heat have the pathogenic characteristics of wind, such as itchy throat, headache, and are prone to affect the lung qi propagation and purging, so there is often a cough, throat unfavorable performance, the specific circumstances should be identified cold and heat of the etiology of the symptoms, tongue and pulse, and then give the correct treatment.

Most of the wind-cold cold has no serious effect, more rest, drink more water, with the method of dispersing cold can be quickly recovered, but individual Zhengqi insufficiency, the so-called Zhengqi insufficiency is similar to the immune deficiency, wind-cold easy to invade into the lungs and heat, i.e., wind-cold into wind-heat, manifested in the beginning of the cold, headache, fear of cold and body aches, nasal discharge, and so on.A day or two later there was redness and swelling of the throat, yellow nasal discharge, and yellow sputum in the cough.I found that this is more common in children, because of the rapid growth and development of children, Yang Qi is sufficient, wind-cold easy to heat into the inside, the treatment should be based on the manifestations of the disease to identify and treat. Wind-cold cold is often seen in upper respiratory tract infections, acute inflammation, can also trigger the progression and exacerbation of chronic respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary heart disease is particularly afraid of feeling the wind-cold.

Observe his pulse, know what is wrong, and treat it according to the evidence - The Treatise on Typhoid Fever

Wind-heat colds should be based on clearing wind and heat, such as redness, swelling and pus in the throat should be combined with the method of clearing heat and detoxification, in order to quickly control the symptoms, wind-heat colds are similar to the symptoms of influenza, with a certain degree of contagiousness may be induced by serious infections. For example, bronchitis, pneumonia and so on. Pay attention to more exercise, rest on time, spring and fall flu season should drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, to prevent the decline of immunity, the "Nei Jing" said "the existence of positive qi, the evil can not be dry" is a good way to prevent and control colds.

Lastly, I hope my answer was helpful!

Note: The text refers to the theoretical works of Chinese medicine, I try to answer obscure Chinese medicine questions with easy-to-understand questions, combined with personal experience and opinion, pictures from the Internet.

What is the difference between a cold and a fever? It is to figure out how to deal with the symptoms. Especially in the case of pediatric colds, there is a great deal to be said for the way in which they are handled.

Is your child's cold wind-cold? Or wind-heat? How can I tell the difference?

What is a pediatric wind-cold? What is Pediatric Wind-Heat Cold?

When it comes to colds and flu, especially children are young, their resistance is relatively weak and their body functions are poorly regulated, so the slightest negligence may cause them to catch wind-cold or wind-heat flu, which is a health problem that often occurs in children.

Colds, commonly known as colds, can occur throughout the year, especially in children in spring and winter.When there is a sudden change in the environment and climate, it will affect the regulation of human physiology and cause colds. However, common colds are usually categorized into wind-cold colds and wind-heat colds based on the different variations of cold and heat.

Wind-cold flu: low-grade fever, no sweating, chills, clear nasal discharge

Wind-cold flu:It mostly occurs in cold seasons, such as winter, late fall or early spring, and is a cold caused by the cold felt by the child's body. Wind-cold flu can have low-grade fever, chills, no sweating, headache, muscle pain, clear mucus, light cough, and no redness or swelling in the throat.

hot weather, wind and cold

Wind-heat colds:Mostly occurring in warm seasons, such as late spring, early summer and early fall when the climate turns warm but changeable, it is a cold symptom caused by children's body feeling the hot summer wind. Wind-heat colds are characterized by fever, even high fever, profuse sweating, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, flushed face, red tongue and rapid pulse.

What is the difference between a wind-cold and a wind-fever cold in a child?

The child is a wind-cold cold and fever, and we distinguish it briefly in the following main ways:

Seasons vary:Generally, colds caused by spring and winter are wind-cold colds; in summer and fall, they are wind-heat colds;

The triggers are different:Most wind-cold colds are caused by physical dysfunctions such as exertion and cold stimulation; wind-heat colds are caused by heat stroke due to heat-heat imbalance, constipation and fire.

Look for sweating:Generally, if a child has a cold but does not sweat, it is mostly a wind-cold cold; if he/she sweats or sweats a lot, it is a wind-heat cold.

Accompanying Symptoms:Low fever (below 38℃), accompanied by headache, joint pain and body aches are mostly wind-cold flu; while excessive sweating, fever and even high fever are mostly wind-heat flu.

Sputum and snot:Generally, clear and thin nasal mucus and phlegm are wind-cold colds; conversely, thick and cloudy nasal mucus and phlegm are generally wind-heat colds.

What is the management of wind-cold and wind-fever colds in children?

Wind-cold flu is relieved by pungent warmth:Older children (over 3 years old) can commonly use the Chinese herbs Jingwu, Fangfeng, Qiangwu and Suye to relieve the surface and disperse the cold; we can also use Qianhu, Platycodonopsis and Glycyrrhiza glabra to promote the lungs, resolve phlegm and benefit the pharynx, and so on.

Wind-heat colds are relieved by pungent coolness:Commonly used proprietary Chinese medicines include Pediatric Heat Speed Qing Oral Liquid, Pediatric Bei Qiao Qing Heat Granules, and Pediatric Cold Granules (Oral Liquid). In addition, drink plenty of boiled water, undo the collar, open the quilt to dissipate heat and cool down.

For drinking water

Note: All applications of pediatric proprietary Chinese medicines should be applied under a doctor's prescription. This is because the child's liver and kidney functions are still developing.

Nowadays, the vast majority of people who have a cold go directly to the pharmacy to buy the most impressive advertised varieties, instead of paying attention to whether the medicine is symptomatic or not, often resulting in a delay in the best treatment time. In fact, there are wind-cold and wind-heat cold, different cold medicine with different drugs. And use the wrong medicine but often appear in our daily life, the following to see such two cases.

case (law)

Case 1: the weather suddenly cooled down, Xiaoliu did not pay attention to add clothes, Xiaoliu did not pay attention to change clothes, the next day began to runny nose, coughing, the nose is not ventilated, headache, fever, and all over the body pain. It so happens that the family has a box of antelope antidote pills, Xiaoliu ate, but did not improve at all, nasal congestion symptoms on the contrary, worsened, the throat also began to itch inflammation. Xiaoliu also ate some cotrimoxazole, treatment of the disease did not have any improvement, on the contrary, more serious.

Case 2: Auntie Wang woke up in the morning with a high fever, cough, a small amount of phlegm in the throat, but could not cough it up, uncomfortable and painful throat, headache, body discomfort, and thirst. She ate some paracetamol according to experience, the body temperature down went, and went to the pharmacy to buy cold and flu particles, but after taking the effect is not obvious.

How to differentiate between wind-cold as well as wind-heat colds?

Cold is a disease caused by viral attack on the human body, which can occur in all seasons. In winter, it is mostly wind-cold with cold as the main cause, and in summer, it is mostly wind-heat with heat as the main cause. Clinical manifestations are mainly nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, cough, headache, bad sweating, fever, and general malaise, and the overall condition is controllable. Divided according to different degrees of severity, the lighter ones are commonly known as typhoid, while the heavier ones are critical colds, with a high incidence in the susceptible seasons. We can refer to the following two points to choose cold medicine:

Wind-heat colds are characterized by severe fever, mild or slight malignant cold, thirst, red tongue and floating pulse. Clinical manifestations are fever, slight malignant wind-cold, floating pulse or cough with little sputum, coughing, sore throat and thirst. It is advisable to use pungent and cool antidotes, such as: Yin Qiao Xie Toxin Tablets, Qing Sheng Ling Granules, Wind-Fever and Cold Granules, Antelope Qiao Xie Toxin Pills (Tablets), etc. Commonly used Chinese herbs include: Pueraria Mirifica, Radix Bupleurum Chinense, Chrysanthemum, Mulberry Leaf, Peppermint, Temperate Bean Curd and so on, among which Radix Bupleurum Chinense, Radix et Rhizoma Pinelliae and Temperate Bamboo Leaf are known to have the effect of relieving fever. Chaihu and Pueraria Mirifica are classified as "antidotes to epidemics" in Chinese medicine, which are medicines used to relieve epidemics (symptoms such as fever, fear of cold, general malaise, headache, and joint aches and pains).

Wind-cold flu is characterized by severe malignant cold, mild fever, no sweating, no thirst, pale tongue coating, and floating tight pulse. Clinical manifestations are fever, cold, no sweat, headache, limb pain, pale tongue, floating tight pulse, nasal congestion, or nasal itching, sneezing, snotting, throat itching, coughing, sputum thin. It is advisable to use pungent, warm and antidepressant medicines, such as: wind-cold and cold granules, cold and flu clearing heat punch, cold and flu granules; commonly used Chinese herbs include: cinnamon sticks, ephedra, thorns and mustard, perilla, ginger, antifungal, scallion white and so on.

Case Study

Xiao Liu has a wind-cold cold and should choose pungent, warm and antiexpressive medicines in the selection of medicines, while Auntie Wang has a wind-heat cold and should choose pungent, cool and antiexpressive medicines in the selection of medicines. It is important to note that colds are common external illnesses that heal quickly, but attention must be paid to the elderly and infants. In addition, the body's fever symptoms should not be lightly diagnosed. Fever is one of the most common symptoms of colds, but it is also a common symptom of many diseases, especially infectious diseases, which is a kind of active self-defense response of the body to disease-causing factors. On the one hand, fever can accelerate the metabolic process, inhibit the growth and reproduction of pathogens, promote the increase of leukocytes, strengthen the function of the reticuloendothelial system (phagocytic activity, antibody production and liver detoxification, etc.), which is conducive to the recovery of the disease. On the other hand, fever can also cause physical exertion, headache, insomnia, and even convulsions. Significantly high temperatures (above 40°C) or persistent fever can also lead to permanent brain damage and even death. The type of fever is an important reference value for the diagnosis of the disease and for determining the effectiveness of treatment and prognosis. Precisely because of the complexity and harmfulness of fever symptoms, when encountering patients with fever, we should attach great importance to it, but we should not use antipyretic drugs easily, but should clarify the diagnosis as soon as possible, because even if we use a small dose of antipyretic drugs only once, it will disturb the fever pattern and may cause misdiagnosis. Only when the diagnosis has been clarified, and active treatment of the cause is carried out at the same time, the following indications can be encountered when the appropriate choice of antipyretics:

1. Excessive fever (body temperature over 39 ℃ or more) is life-threatening, especially pediatric febrile convulsions;

2. When the fever is not high, but is accompanied by obvious headache, insomnia, muscle pain, and impaired consciousness, enough to prevent the patient from resting and recovering from the disease;

3. Persistent high fever, which has jeopardized the function of the heart or is intolerable to high fever;

4. Certain prolonged fevers that have not been satisfactorily controlled, such as acute schistosomiasis, typhoid fever, brucellosis, tuberculosis, and cancer fever; patients with high fever should first be physically cooled down, such as with alcohol baths, ice packs, and then considered antipyretic drugs if they are ineffective.

Good life from the beginning of health, the beginning of health, health science professional media!

The first stage of a cold is usually cold, or wind-cold flu

The cold tends to cause a 30-50% drop in immunity, and then viruses start to grow

And the best measure for a wind-cold is to raise your body temperature and speed up circulation.

So for wind-cold flu, you can sweat with ginger and onion water to raise the body temperature and promote circulation

When the cold does not heal, bacteria begin to grow in the body, accompanied by a sore throat and a pus-yellow runny nose, a wind-heat cold is formed.

At this point, antibiotics can be used to kill the bacteria

For colds, modern medicine categorizes them as viral or bacterial colds.

Viral colds have always been difficult to cure in the medical world. This is because medicines simply do not have the means to kill the virus.

Viruses can penetrate the cell nucleus and use enzymes and nutrients within the cell to replicate themselves;

Meaning that if we want to kill the virus, we must first kill our own cells.

• In addition, the structure of the virus is very simple, except for a protein membrane, there are only a few strands of DNA inside; there is no way for the drug to find the target of attack

So after taking cold medicine, the cold symptoms are gone, but the cough persists because the virus hasn't cleared up.

But it has a natural enemy, our immune system, which helps us to supplement some nutrients to boost the body's immune system, and to a certain extent is able to kill the virus;

And some antiviral drugs actually reduce the rate of replication of the virus.

• Bacterial colds are relatively easy to deal with clinically. Antibiotics are actually used to target bacteria, and when they are used, they have an immediate effect.

Now the fall equinox, the weather began to become much cooler, walking outside at night without a coat are a little cold, a moment on the runny nose. Many people think that wind-cold cold is blowing the wind, cold, sneezing, runny nose is wind-cold cold. After buying some wind-cold medicine for yourself, you are prone to have a sore throat; there are also some small children who have a cold.Sore throat and recurring inflammation of tonsils whenever I catch a coldWhat's going on here?

Wind-cold cold to take cold medicine appeared sore throat, in fact, did not distinguish between wind-cold cold or wind-heat cold, especially in the early stage of the cold, wind-cold cold and wind-heat cold in the symptoms are very similar, it is difficult to distinguish between theAll may experience sneezing, runny nose, fear of cold, fear of wind, coughing, itchy throatand other manifestations. How do you differentiate at this time?The main thing to look for is the tongue and throat, and of course the early manifestations of the tongue may not be obvious and moreLook at the throat. If the throat is red or there is a sore throat, then it is a wind-heat cold.；If the throat isn't sore or red, it's a wind-cold.. However, as you get a cold for a few more days, the symptoms of a wind-cold and a heat-cold are noticeably different.

The wind-cold remains the same.Sneezing, runny nose, sweating or no sweating, fear of wind, cough with white phlegm, itchy throatSome people with heavier wind-colds will develop aGeneralized discomfort with headache, generalized pain, stiff neck and neck, thin white tongue coating；

Wind-cold flu. It's mild.You can use white onion and ginger together to boil water to drink instead of tea, or use Zheng Chaihu Drinking Granules or Wind-Cold Cold Granules;

Wind-cold flu with a pronounced fever.You can use Cold and Fever Granules and Four Seasons Cold and Flu Tablets;

Symptoms of wind-heat colds can show signs of heat, such as a runny nose from aClear nasal mucus turns into yellow mucus, coughing up yellow sputum, red throat, dry and sore throat, fear of cold, less fever, headache, or constipation, thin yellow tongue coating.etc. Commonly used proprietary Chinese medicines include Sangju Cold and Flu Granules, Wind-Heat Cold and Flu Granules, Xiao Chaihu Granules and so on.

A wind-heat cold with a pronounced fever.You can use Antelope Cold and Flu Capsules, Cold and Flu Antipyretic Granules, 999 Cold and Flu Antipyretic Granules and so on;

Wind-heat colds with a pronounced cough and phlegm.You can use bitter and sweet granules, mackintosh and shigangan combination, etc;

In addition to wind-cold and wind-heat colds, there is another type of cold calledlit. chills wrap fire (idiom); fig. a situation that gets worse with each passing dayThis kind of is common in winter, especially children, this is related to the child's physique, the child is pure yang body, "pediatric medication evidence straight secret" recorded "pediatric pure yang, no trouble benefit fire", in the "medical source and flow theory" also said "pediatric pure yang body, the most appropriate cool." So this is most likely to have a cold on the tonsil inflammation, redness or pus. Over time, the tonsils in the throat in normal circumstances are swollen, hard, a little cold is more difficult to get well.

This one is generallyThere is fire in the body, or there is accumulation of food in the body, which is caused by heat.Once the evil of wind-cold is felt, the cold binds the surface, and there is internal heat, resulting in the evidence of external cold and internal heat, which manifests itself as sneezing, fear of cold, running nose, sore throat, enlarged tonsils, constipation, and dry mouth and thirst. Not quite the same as wind-heat cold, wind-heat cold at the beginning of the phenomenon of sneezing, runny nose many will disappear, manifested as thick or yellow snot, cough yellow sputum and so on. For treatment, you can useMa Xing Shi Gan Combination, Noon Tea GranulesAlso available.

But there are some repeated tonsil inflammation, often injections to eat anti-inflammatory drugs for children, there will be weak, easy to cold, easy to catch a cold, do not want to take medication, easy to diarrhea and diarrhea, but the tonsils are still enlarged, repeated inflammation, this need to be more spleen and stomach, diet less cold, should eat less and more frequent, pay more attention to spleen and stomach conditioning. My nephew is typical of this situation, so that every cold and fever can only take Chinese medicine, can not take injections or Western medicine, otherwise the cold is aggravated or delayed difficult to heal.

In conclusion.This fall and winter season is coming, cold and fever will be more common, especially children, more should learn to distinguish between wind-cold cold, wind-hot cold or cold package fire, do not just use drugs, often use the wrong words, will lead to more complex conditions, usually pay more attention to dietary regulation.

Whenever you have a cold, the drugstore clerk will recommend Banlangen Granules, Cold and Flu Granules, Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Liquid Capsules and other proprietary Chinese medicines. Many times people don't use the right medicines. Roughly speaking, Banlangen Granules are suitable for wind-heat colds, Cold and Flu Granules are suitable for wind-cold colds, and Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Liquid is suitable for gastrointestinal colds. Today we will talk about what is wind-cold cold and what is wind-heat cold?

Wind-cold and wind-heat colds belong to the six elements that cause illness, according to Chinese medicine, "wind, cold, summer, dampness, dryness, fire" these six evils invade the body, it will lead to people get sick.

The six elements belong to the pathogenic factors of exogenous diseases, six elements of disease by the surface into the transmission of the six elements of the evil from the surface of the muscle or the mouth and nose into the invasion of the human body, and then by the surface into the, from shallow and deep. Such as "Su Wen - Mu Thorny theory" said that the evil guest in the form, must first shed in the fur. Stay and do not go, into the shed in the meridians, connected to the internal organs, scattered in the stomach and intestines, yin and yang are feeling, the five organs are injured. This evil from the skin and hair into the extreme in the five viscera of the second also." Therefore, the six elements of disease, more from the surface and inside the process of change. So it is often called "external six".

The six evils can cause diseases alone or in combination, and wind-cold and wind-heat colds belong to the six evils that cause diseases in combination. Wind is the longest of all diseases. When wind is mixed with heat, it is a wind-heat cold. When wind is mixed with heat, it is wind-heat cold. When wind is mixed with cold, it is wind-cold cold.

So how do we tell the difference between a wind-cold and a wind-fever cold?

The first thing that should happen isLook at the symptoms:

common cold (medicine)Heavy malignant cold, light fever, no sweating, headache, soreness of limbs, nasal congestion, heavy voice, sometimes clear flow of mucus, itchy throat, cough, sputum spitting thin and white, mouth without thirst or thirst for hot drinks, tongue with thin white coating, floating or floating tight pulse.

common cold (medicine)Higher body heat, slight aversion to wind-cold, poor sweating, head swelling and pain, cough with sticky or yellow sputum, dry throat, or sore throat with redness and swelling of milky moths, nasal congestion, yellow turbid mucus, and thirst for drinking.

The next step is to look atTongue:Wind-cold flu with thin white tongue coating. Wind-heat cold with thin white and yellowish tongue coating and red tongue edges.

There is also to find a doctor pulse diagnosis, wind-cold cold pulse floating or floating tight, wind-heat cold pulse floating number. Although the cold is a small disease, but should be treated correctly, not blind treatment yo.
