With proper treatment, cold symptoms can usually disappear completely within half an hour. If the intervention is not timely and delayed for half a day or a day, the symptoms will be aggravated and the treatment time will be prolonged, usually 5-7 days to get better.
Most people think that a cold with sore throat is a wind-heat cold, but it is not exactly like this.
In fact, in the early stage of cold and cold, there will also be symptoms of sore throat. Generally, the heavier the cold, the worse the sore throat will be, and even a knife-like pain will appear. If you choose cool drugs (such as Banlangen Granules and Yinhuang Granules) for treating wind-heat cold at this time, or even use western anti-inflammatory drugs, the basic direction of treatment will be reversed. Cold pathogens can't penetrate outside, but fall into the stomach, which will not only aggravate cold symptoms, but even cause fever and cough. Therefore, we must learn early control to avoid bronchitis, pneumonia and myocarditis caused by untreated colds.
The principle here is that after suffering from cold, qi and blood will quickly rush to the upper jiao and body surface to solve the pathogenic wind and cold. But the most likely situation is that these qi and blood may be temporarily blocked because they want to reach the upper focus in a short time, showing itchy and dry throat.
For example, after the Wenchuan earthquake, many vehicles were sent to transport materials to the earthquake zone. Suddenly there are too many cars and the road is too narrow, and the road will be blocked. This is like our throat, which is a relatively narrow part of the body. However, it is unrealistic to let the vehicles withdraw because of the traffic jam, because these materials are really needed in the earthquake zone. So it is necessary to dredge. This looks hot, but it's not hot, it's a temporary block.
At the beginning of a cold, everyone usually chooses Chinese patent medicine for treatment first. From the drug instructions, some are used to treat wind-cold and some are used to treat wind-heat, so many friends come to ask:
How should I judge which kind I am?
Is there any way to distinguish it simply and quickly?
Here are two tips for colds with pharyngeal symptoms.
Method 1: Take a slice of ginger (the size of a dollar coin), put it in your mouth, bite it with your teeth, and look up, so that the ginger juice can directly stimulate the throat. If the symptoms of pharyngeal discomfort are alleviated or disappeared, it is usually a cold. On the contrary, the aggravation of sore throat is a wind-heat cold.
Method 2: Friends who often catch a cold should always have Huoxiang Zhengqi water (wine) in their bags or at hand. Drop a small amount of Huoxiang Zhengqi water on the pharynx. If the pharynx is not spicy, it will have a cool feeling of eating mint, which is usually a cold. You can continue to drip until the symptoms disappear. Generally, the light drop is about 10, and the heavy drop is about half. When the heavy drop is finished, the symptoms will disappear.
Huoxiang Zhengqi Water of medicinal liquor has a strong effect of relieving exterior symptoms and dispelling cold, and is a good medicine for treating wind-cold and cold, so don't think that it can only be used in summer due to heatstroke and dampness. If the pharynx is more uncomfortable after dripping Huoxiang Zhengqi water, it is time to use Chinese patent medicine for treating wind-heat cold.
If you are a child, you can use a dosage form without alcohol, such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid.
