Theoretically, Chinese medicine divides colds into wind-cold colds and wind-heat colds. Although these two types of colds belong to the same cold, but because of their nature, symptoms and causes are different, so it is necessary to distinguish between the treatment. However, for ordinary people, it is difficult to distinguish between wind-cold cold and wind-heat cold. As a result, they often make mistakes when purchasing medicines. For example, when the wind-cold cold use cold Sydney cough, or use the cold nature of the blue root, Pu Di Lan and other drugs, resulting in further aggravation. In fact, wind-cold cold is not the same as wind-heat cold. So, how to distinguish between wind-cold and wind-heat cold? First, the causes are different The most obvious difference between wind-cold and wind-heat cold is the formation of different reasons, wind-cold cold is mainly due to the invasion of wind evil caused by the fall and winter seasons, because of the temperature fluctuations in autumn and winter seasons, the outdoor temperature is lower. Wind-heat colds, on the other hand, are mainly caused by the invasion of heat, and occur most often in spring and summer when bacteria and viruses are active. Therefore, wind-cold cold is generally through the enhancement of their own physical condition to regulate self-healing, while wind-heat cold generally need to control the treatment through the drug. Second, the two symptoms are different wind cold cold is due to the human body cold lead to wind cold invasion caused by the body. As a result, patients with wind-cold flu usually have a runny nose, cough and body aches, fear of cold and other symptoms. On the other hand, wind-heat colds are caused by viral infections, so there will be fever, headache, sore throat, nasal congestion and thick phlegm and other symptoms. At the same time, if the phlegm is thin, runny nose is very serious, the body does not sweat much is generally wind-cold cold, and if the phlegm is more viscous, nasal congestion is serious and sweating is generally wind-heat cold. Third, the patient's onset process is different wind cold cold and wind heat cold and there is a distinctive feature, that is, the onset of the process. The onset process of wind-cold flu is generally patients feel tired, and then do not get a good rest, and then go out in the wind by the cold, resulting in cold invasion of the body, the patient began to appear runny nose, fear of cold and body aches and pains of the symptoms, and will even appear high fever. In the case of wind-heat colds, the patient first has a sore throat and then a stuffy nose and other symptoms of the cold. The process from the onset of symptoms to the onset of a cold is not the same, and it's easy to distinguish between the two. Although a cold is not a major disease, it is a reflection of people's relatively weak physical condition, and their vital energy is weak and susceptible to external aggression. Colds can last from a week to half a month, and the mental and physical state of the patient will be affected during the period of illness. Therefore, we should also enhance our own physical fitness, reduce the number of colds, so as not to affect our normal life and work, to maintain health and vitality.
