cause of a disease
Six pathogenic factors such as wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness and fire can all be the causes of colds. Because wind is the first of the six qi, "the length of all diseases", wind is the main cause of colds. Due to the sudden change of climate and the increase of temperature difference, people feel the seasonal qi, such as wind in spring, heat in summer, dryness in autumn and cold in winter, and get sick and catch a cold; Then there is the abnormal climate, spring should be warm and cold, summer should be hot and cold, autumn should be cold and hot, winter should be cold and cold, and people feel "untimely gas" and catch a cold.
Six pathogenic factors or epidemic viruses can invade the human body and cause colds, which are always related to the imbalance of healthy qi in the human body except for the excessive pathogenic factors. Or because of deficiency of vital qi, or because of lung diseases, you can't regulate lung health and feel exogenous evil. Even if the physique is healthy, if the body's functional state declines due to carelessness in daily life, such as fatigue and hunger, or if the clothes are covered with sweat and cold, or if the meals are cold and camping, or if the clothes are not changed in time during climate change, the healthy qi will be out of balance and the evil spirits will be able to take advantage of it.
Due to the difference of four seasons and human body quality, there is wind-cold, and the transformation or confusion of cold and heat can also be seen in the course of the disease.
Question 2: Is wind-heat cold an influenza? According to dialectical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, colds can be divided into two types: wind-cold colds and wind-heat colds. The symptoms of wind-cold common cold are: aversion to cold, mild fever, no sweat, headache and body pain, nasal congestion, watery nasal discharge, cough and white sputum, thirst or thirst for hot drinks, and thin and white fur. The symptoms of wind-heat cold are: severe fever, slight aversion to wind, swelling and pain in the head, sweating, swelling and pain in the throat, cough, sticky or yellow phlegm, stuffy nose, thirst, red tongue tip, thin white and yellowish fur. From the perspective of western medicine, wind-cold colds are mostly common colds without complications; Wind-heat cold, on the other hand, is a kind of cold with upper respiratory tract infection and bacterial infection of nose, pharynx, larynx or trachea and bronchus, which causes obvious inflammation. Wind-heat colds can also be transformed from wind-cold colds. Influenza is mostly wind-heat cold, but it can also be manifested as wind-cold cold cold. You can compare the manifestations of wind-cold and wind-heat cold, and combine your own symptoms to roughly distinguish what kind of cold it is, and then choose the right medicine. General drugs for treating wind-cold and cold, such as: wind-cold and cold granules, Shangfengting capsules, Shangfengmao granules, etc. Drugs for treating wind-heat cold include: wind-heat cold granule, heat-clearing cold granule, Yinqiao Jiedu granule, Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, etc.
Question 3: What does a hot cold mean? Recently, there are more people catching colds around, most of which are dizziness, stuffy nose, upset, weakness of limbs, and occasionally chills and fever. This symptom is commonly known as hot cold. Hot colds are mostly caused by catching cold. Some people don't understand, can you catch cold in such a hot day? The answer is yes, definitely. Being cold is the instinctive reaction of many people to cope with the hot weather. As everyone knows, maybe when you come home from the outdoor sweating and take out cold drinks from the refrigerator to eat and drink, maybe when you turn on the air conditioner or take a nap while listening to the electric fan, it is in these casual moments that a cold will find you. This is because the body surface or local environment suddenly turns from hot to cold, and the temperature of blood changes greatly, causing temporary reflex ischemia of the nose and throat. At this time, people's resistance will be greatly reduced, so that cold viruses can drive straight in. In fact, people who don't have enough rest, overeat cold drinks and stay in closed air-conditioned rooms for a long time are most likely to catch a cold.
There are four internal causes of hot cold.
To prevent summer colds, you should drink more water, sleep more and exercise more. It is not easy to cure a cold in summer, mainly because the symptoms are not identified during treatment. Some people use antipyretic drugs when they have a fever, which not only does not cure the disease, but makes it worse. The internal causes of summer colds are:
1. The weather is hot, people sweat more, and the secretion of sweat glands consumes a lot of energy.
2. The days are long and the nights are short. The sultry weather affects people's sleep and rest, resulting in insufficient sleep.
3. In summer, many people lose appetite, mainly light food, which affects the intake of protein.
Because of the hot weather, some people don't want to exercise, so they reduce their exercise time. The external cause of summer cold is excessive greed. If some people are sweating profusely, punch them with cold water or take a cold bath; Some people love to enjoy the cool in the shade, in the passage or in the cold; Some people sleep with electric fans or turn the air conditioning temperature down very low. If the summer cold does not cause complications, such as special pain in the head or other parts, or continuous high fever for a long time, patients only need to take antipyretic and analgesic drugs, plus enough rest, and generally can recover in about a week. Patients should drink more boiled water, because people have a great demand for water in summer, and they are prone to have a fever when they catch a cold. Fever is a process in which the human body fights germs and consumes a lot of body fluids. Sleep is also helpful for treating summer colds.
Taking medicine indiscriminately will delay the illness.
