Early stage of cold
Brown sugar ginger soup
The gingerol and gingerol in ginger can sweat and drive away the accumulated heat in the body, especially the ginger with less water, which can promote blood circulation better. Adding brown sugar can supplement calories.
However, ginger soup is only suitable for people with exogenous wind and cold, but it is not suitable for drinking. Moreover, ginger can promote blood circulation. If there is inflammation or bleeding, don't eat it.
fruit
Some people think that you should eat more fruits during a cold. Liu Jianhui, a physician at Taiwan Province Taian Hospital, said that it depends on the individual situation. Eating more fruits can supplement vitamin C, but whether vitamin C can treat or prevent colds is still controversial.
Moreover, fruit juice or fruit is mostly cold, which may cause bronchial contraction and aggravate cough. Except for fever, it is not suitable for eating during a cold.
In particular, fruits with more water, such as watermelons and pears, are colder. If you have cough, runny nose, loose bowels and cold hands and feet, it is easier to make your condition worse.
Eating fruits and vegetables is an alkaline food, which is not conducive to the reproduction of microorganisms such as viruses. Therefore, eating more foods rich in calcium, zinc and vitamins has a certain inhibitory effect on viruses.
People all know that they should eat easily digestible liquid diets, such as vegetable soup, gruel, egg soup, custard, milk, etc., and they also know that they should eat more foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin E.
But what people don't know is that red foods are rich in carotene, such as tomatoes, apples, grapes, dates and strawberries, which are also very helpful for the recovery of colds.
When choosing different medicines and foods, it is best to ask a doctor to diagnose or judge for yourself what kind of cold you have.
Cold-induced colds are characterized by fever, headache, itchy throat, general malaise, stuffy nose, runny nose, cough and white sputum.
Wind-heat cold is characterized by severe fever, head swelling and pain, sore throat, thirst, cough and expectoration.
Symptoms of exterior-interior syndrome are high fever, headache, dizziness, limb pain, sore throat, dry stool and so on.
The symptoms of gastrointestinal cold are fever, nausea, headache, limb fatigue and so on.
Dietotherapy for colds and colds: You should eat more sweating and cold-dispelling foods, such as pepper, onion, ginger, garlic, tofu, fresh ginger and brown sugar water.
Some studies believe that chicken soup can help people drive away the flu, and drinking chicken soup helps to excrete the virus.
Chicken soup contains a variety of amino acids needed by the human body, which can effectively enhance the body's resistance. Drinking chicken soup when you have a cold is suitable for people who are very weak, while people who are very strong and obese should not eat chicken soup with warm tonic properties, otherwise the condition may be aggravated.
Dietotherapy for wind-heat cold: Eat more foods that help to dispel wind-heat and clear heat, such as mung beans, radishes, Chinese cabbage, cabbage roots, mint, tea, etc. You can cook porridge with fresh pear juice and rice while it is hot.
page 2
During a cold, you should try to eat less or not to eat high-fat, high-protein and spicy foods, and don't drink alcoholic beverages, otherwise it will easily lead to aggravation.
Pear is a cold food in traditional Chinese medicine, which is suitable for cough, chest pain, excessive phlegm and other symptoms caused by wind-heat cold.
Dietotherapy with two senses: the diet should be light and not greasy, which not only meets the needs of nutrition, but also increases appetite. For example, eat more millet porridge and adzuki bean porridge.
To ensure the supply of water, you can drink more acidic juices, such as hawthorn juice, kiwi fruit juice juice and jujube juice, to increase your appetite.
It is very important to drink plenty of water, because a fever is that the body inside the human body is fighting against the cold virus, which leads to an increase in body temperature. At this time, it is particularly easy to lack water, so we must pay attention to hydrating, otherwise we will encounter thirst.
Sour foods such as vinegar, lemon juice, and dried plums also have obvious appetite-stimulating effects.
Dietotherapy for gastrointestinal cold: chrysanthemum, Longjing tea, mung bean and brown sugar instead of tea. At the same time, eating more vegetables and fruits rich in calcium, zinc and vitamins, such as radish, pear, kiwi fruit and various mushrooms, can alleviate cold symptoms.
Dietotherapy for gastrointestinal cold: chrysanthemum, Longjing tea, mung bean and brown sugar instead of tea.
You should drink plenty of boiled water after catching a cold, because enough water can dilute the toxins in the blood and accelerate the excretion of metabolites, thus alleviating the symptoms of a cold and shortening the course of the disease.
What are the taboos for cold patients?
The so-called taboo refers to the dietary taboo in the patient's illness. As we all know, food, like medicine, is biased, for example, glutinous rice, strong and hot liquor and so on.
Therefore, there are dietary taboos, including the ways and means of eating, the quality and quantity of food, the interaction between diets, the relationship between diet and physique or disease, and the incompatibility between diet and drugs.
Dietary taboos in patients with diseases focus on the relationship between diet and diseases and the incompatibility between diet and drugs.
What are the taboos for catching a cold?
Let's talk about eating in moderation first. After catching a cold, people often lose appetite, especially when they have fever.
Modern medicine believes that various digestive enzymes are destroyed or their activity is low when fever occurs, which leads to patients not wanting to eat. If you simply eat more, you will often have indigestion such as abdominal distension, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which is not conducive to the body's concentration on resisting external evils, and may delay the recovery of colds and even aggravate the condition. Therefore, it is better for cold patients to eat less.
How to control the degree of eating less should be based on ensuring the whole body energy supply. This has a problem with the quality of diet. Patients with colds advocate eating more light and digestible foods, such as rice porridge and noodles, and avoiding fried and greasy foods.
Some people even put forward "fasting therapy", that is, stop eating after catching a cold and only drink soup, which sometimes gets unexpected results.
Of course, this method is not suitable for everyone, and it can be tried for patients who are physically strong and have a mild cold. Please don't forget to have enough energy reserves, otherwise it will backfire.
Finally, focus on what foods should be avoided for colds. This aspect is related to taking medicine, that is, taboo after taking medicine.
On the other hand, we should pay attention to the relationship with the condition. In the early stage of a cold, if it is the pathogenic wind and cold that you feel, and you are taking drugs to relieve exterior symptoms and dispel cold, you should be cold and greasy when fasting, and if it is the pathogenic wind and cold.
At the initial stage of clearing away heat, you should also avoid eating raw and cold food. Once the evil heat persists, you will stay strong and hot, and then you will be thirsty, irritable and constipation. At this time, you need fruit to help you. You can take pear juice, orange juice, watermelon, rice soup and mung bean soup frequently, and avoid overeating raw, cold and greasy products.
The above are mainly some questions between principles. Specifically, during a cold, avoid eating or avoid eating more foods such as duck, pork, mutton, dog meat, soft-shelled turtle, clam, vinegar and persimmon.
Because a cold is an exogenous disease, the treatment should be based on evacuation. However, duck meat is cold in nature, rich in honey and stagnant, easy to slip the intestines and accumulate evil, and pork is fat and greasy, which helps to produce phlegm and move wind to accumulate dampness.
Page 3
Mutton is warm and helps heat, but it tends to be warm in the middle and warm in the lower part, and it has the disadvantage of converging evil; Dog meat is also warm and easy to help heat the fire, so it is taboo for heat syndrome; Soft-shelled turtle is sweet and greasy, which has the disadvantage of converging evil.
Mussels, also known as mussels, are cold and have the power to nourish yin and cool, and eating too much hinders the evacuation of pathogenic factors; Vinegar tastes sour and astringent, and it is easy to stagnate qi and retain kou after eating.
Persimmons are cold, astringent and stagnant, and eating more is easy to accumulate evil. Therefore, the above foods are taboo for colds.
Eating by mistake or eating too much is often not conducive to the evacuation of exogenous pathogens, and sometimes it can even aggravate the condition, which needs attention.
What can't I eat with a cold?
Seafood products, such as fish, shrimp, etc., eat chicken and drink chicken soup quickly.
During the cold period, no matter wind-cold or wind-heat cold, avoid eating all nourishing, greasy and sour foods, such as pork, duck, chicken, sheep's gizzard, glutinous rice, Astragalus membranaceus, Polygonatum sibiricum, Ophiopogon japonicus, ginseng, placenta, donkey-hide gelatin, various marine fish, shrimp, crab, longan, pomegranate, dark plum and various sticky dessert foods.
People who catch a cold due to wind-cold should also avoid eating the above-mentioned cold foods, such as persimmons, dried persimmons, tofu, mung bean sprouts, snails, mussels, clams, raw radishes, raw lotus roots, raw sweet potatoes, raw melons, raw pears, raw cold water chestnuts, Siraitia grosvenorii, Leng Cha, chrysanthemum brain, mint and honeysuckle.
People with wind-heat colds should also avoid eating ginger, pepper, cinnamon, fennel, clove, Amomum villosum, white wine, Cordyceps sinensis and so on.
"seven drinks" to prevent colds in autumn

6, orange peel drink: 50 grams of fresh orange peel, the right amount of sugar, boiled water to brew tea.
7. Chrysanthemum drink: 6 grams of chrysanthemum, brewed with boiling water instead of tea.
drink water
People with colds should replenish more water, because a fever makes your body lose a lot of water. You can drink distilled water or fruit and vegetable juice, both of which are good liquid supplements. Fruit and vegetable juice can also supplement you with essential vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin C.
Yue chicken soup
Drink hot chicken soup, such as black-bone chicken or turkey. Hot chicken soup is a good medicine for patients with cold. It can not only supplement the necessary protein and nutrients, but also be easily digested and absorbed, and promote the immunity of the body and speed up recovery.

What food does the child eat with a cold and fever?
Children's cold and fever is a common disease in pediatric internal medicine. Most cold patients have no high fever and systemic symptoms, but only low-grade fever, headache and discomfort.
Children's cold and fever are both beneficial and harmful to the human body. When they have a fever, the immune function of the human body is obviously enhanced, which is conducive to eliminating pathogens and promoting the recovery of diseases.
Therefore, when the temperature is not too high, you don't need to use antipyretics, just pay close attention to the temperature changes. When the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, you should give your baby antipyretics.
Generally, nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, throat discomfort, mild cough, fever, etc. will occur within 1~3 days after infection. The degree of fever varies, and the severe ones are chills, high fever, headache, poor appetite and general weakness.
Theoretically speaking, cold is a self-limiting disease. Even if you don't take medicine, as long as you drink more water and take good care, most children can heal themselves in a week or so.
However, the baby's tolerance to the disease is weak and the condition changes rapidly, so even a slight cold cannot be taken lightly.
The treatment of cold and fever is mainly symptomatic treatment, and drugs containing acetaminophen and other ingredients are often used.
Acetaminophen has antipyretic and analgesic effects; Amantadine can resist "Asian-A" influenza virus and inhibit virus reproduction; Coffee, as a central stimulant, can enhance the antipyretic and analgesic effects of acetaminophen, and is suitable for relieving fever, headache, limb aches, sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, sore throat and other symptoms caused by common cold and influenza in children.
Principles of medication for children with cold and fever
1, the dose should not be too large, and the taking time should not be too long.
2. Drink plenty of boiled water during medication to facilitate the absorption and excretion of drugs and reduce the toxicity of drugs to children's bodies.
3, children under 3 years old, the liver and kidney are not yet mature, so take a small dose.
4, children or their family members have a history of allergy to antipyretics, do not use antipyretics.
5, antipyretics should not be taken at the same time with alkaline drugs, such as baking soda, aminophylline, etc., otherwise it will reduce the antipyretic effect.
1, rest
Increase the rest time and ensure that children have enough sleep time to enhance their disease resistance.
Paying more attention to rest can help you reduce the weakness caused by a cold. It is necessary to take more rest to help you recover your physical strength, so you must pay attention to this.
2. Observe the body temperature
If the child's temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it means that the child has a fever. Physical cooling (warm bath) or drug cooling (preferably under the guidance of a doctor) should be carried out immediately.
3. Diet
Children who catch a cold often have poor appetite, so parents can arrange the time of eating when the temperature is close to normal after the fever is gone, and give their children some light and digestible food.
4. Replenish water
Especially when you have high fever, you should eat more to supplement the loss of water.
5, clothing and bedding should be appropriate
Don't wear too much clothes and cover too much when the child has high fever, because on the one hand, it is not easy to dissipate heat and raise the body temperature, on the other hand, it will make the child sweat too much and cause water loss.
Page 5
The correct way to do this is not to wear too much clothes when you have a fever. When you sleep, you should take off some clothes to avoid catching cold after getting up. Cover the quilt a little more than usual, but you should reduce it in time after sweating.
6, keep the stool unobstructed
Keeping the stool unobstructed is conducive to the child's body temperature returning to normal. If the child has constipation, parents can relieve it by opening the road.
Preventive measures for children's cold and fever
Ensure essential nutrition
Children are in the stage of growth and development, their metabolism is vigorous, and their demand for energy and nutrients is relatively higher than that of adults. Only by meeting children's nutritional needs can they ensure their normal physical and intellectual development and form good physical quality.
A reasonable diet should not only attach importance to the diet structure, but also ensure that the main and non-staple foods are matched, coarse and flour and rice are matched, and meat and vegetables are matched. It is also necessary to cultivate children's good eating habits, eat regularly and quantitatively, not be partial to food, and eat as little snacks as possible, especially sugary snacks and drinks.
Although candy can increase children's fun and provide some heat energy, excessive eating can suppress appetite and is not conducive to children's health.
Pay attention to physical exercise
Physical exercise can promote children's growth and development, improve their adaptability to the natural environment and enhance their resistance, reduce diseases and keep healthy. The way of physical exercise varies with children's age. It can be carried out by using air, sunlight and water in combination with daily life, or through games and sports.
Children should be properly dressed from birth, and don't have to be too warm. The room temperature is suitable, and the room temperature need not be too high in winter. It is often described as ventilation to keep the air fresh.
Cultivating children can gradually live in a cold environment, and outdoor activities can breathe fresh air, so that the skin can be exposed to ultraviolet rays in the sun, and the synthesis of vitamin D in vivo can be increased, which is beneficial to bone growth and prevents rickets.
Children's outdoor activities in summer should be kept for more than 2 hours every day. Outdoor activities should also be arranged for a certain time in winter.
Pay attention to environmental hygiene
In the season of changeable climate, parents should strengthen the care of children and increase or decrease clothes in time according to climate change.
Because you are active and easy to sweat, don't wear too much clothes, and you can't adjust it according to the standards of adults, especially the elderly, but at the right time and at the right temperature.
When a cold is hot, the secretion of digestive juice decreases, the activity of digestive enzymes decreases, the gastrointestinal movement is slow, and the digestive function is abnormal, which is often manifested as loss of appetite.
Chinese medicine believes that "sweetness can hurt the spleen". At this time, if children eat too many sweets, they can consume a lot of vitamins in the body. After the human body lacks these vitamins, the saliva in the mouth will be reduced, and the appetite will be worse. Especially before meals, if you eat more sugar, it will cause blood sugar to rise, which will make children lose their hunger and refuse to eat when eating.
Eating too much sweets will also reduce immunity. A large number of sweets are rich in sucrose, fructose and other ingredients. When human blood sugar exceeds a certain level, the following two situations will occur.
One is to accelerate the growth and reproduction of purulent bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, causing skin infections such as furuncle.
Second, when sugar decomposes in the body to generate heat, it will produce a large number of acidic metabolites such as pyruvate and lactic acid, making the body acidic.
Acidic constitution is not only easy to be infected, but also can cause other childhood diseases, such as rickets, beriberi, chronic dyspepsia, bad temper, etc., and in severe cases, it can also cause immune system diseases.
When children have a cold and fever, they should rest more and drink more water to help cool down and excrete harmful substances in the body. The diet should be light, digestible and nutritious.

Exogenous pathogens invade the human body, usually from fur, nose and mouth, and then to lung health. When cold pathogens invade the body surface, people often feel cold and want to wear more clothes. In addition, sneezing, runny nose and itchy throat are also common early manifestations of wind-cold colds. Cold pathogen has the characteristics of "attracting and inducing", which invades the human body, and there will be manifestations such as sweating, headache and even limb pain.
