Cold is one of the most common respiratory diseases. There are many kinds of medicines used to treat colds. Due to the fact that pCms have fewer side effects and better efficacy, they are favored by people. But clinical practice has proved that if the choice of proprietary Chinese medicine is not appropriate, it can also be delayed. Chinese medicine classifies colds into four types: wind-cold colds, wind-heat colds, summer-damp colds and seasonal colds (influenza). According to the principle of diagnosis and treatment, different types of colds should be treated with different proprietary Chinese medicines. First, wind-cold type cold: in addition to nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing, headache and other general symptoms, there are cold, low fever, no sweat, runny nose, spitting thin white sputum and other characteristics. This kind of cold is related to the patient's feeling of wind-cold. Treatment should be based on the principle of relieving the symptoms with pungent warmth. The patient can be treated with drugs such as Cold and Flu Punch, Cold and Flu Clearing Heat Punch, Nine-flavored Qiangwu Pill, Tongxuan Lung Pill, and Noon Tea Granules. If the patient has the symptom of internal heat and constipation, he can take Fangfeng Tongsheng Pill for treatment. Wind-cold type cold patients should not use Sangju cold tablets, Yinqiao detoxification tablets, antelope detoxification tablets, compound cold tablets and other drugs. Second, wind-heat type cold: the patient in addition to nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, headache and other general symptoms of the cold, there are fever, sputum thick yellow and other characteristics. The treatment should be pungent and cool to relieve the surface as the principle. Patients can use cold and fever reducing punch, Banlangen punch, Yin Qiao detoxification pills, antelope detoxification pills and other drugs for treatment. Patients with wind-heat type colds should not use drugs such as Jiuwei Qiangwu Pill and Lirong Pill. C. Summer-dampness type cold:The patient manifests cold, fever, tastelessness, headache, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. This type of cold mostly occurs in summer. This type of cold mostly occurs in summer. Treatment should be based on clearing summer heat, removing dampness, and relieving symptoms. The patient can be treated with medicines such as Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Shui and Yin Qiao Xie Tu Pill. If the patient's gastrointestinal symptoms are more serious, it is not suitable to use Baohe Pills, Hawthorn Pills, Xiangsha Stomach Relieving Pills and other drugs. Seasonal colds:The symptoms of patients are similar to those of wind-heat colds. However, the symptoms of patients with seasonal cold are heavier than those of patients with wind-heat cold. The patient may show symptoms such as high fever, chills, chills, severe headache, limb pain, fatigue, etc. The treatment should be clearing heat and removing toxins. Treatment should focus on clearing heat and removing toxins, dispersing wind and penetrating the surface. Patients can use drugs such as Fangfeng Tongsheng Pill, Chongshenling Tablet and Chongshen Tablet for treatment. If the patient who has a cold is treated with drugs such as Yin Qiao Diophylaxis Tablets, Strong Yin Qiao Tablets, Sang Ju Cold and Flu Tablets or Niu Huang Diophylaxis Tablets, the efficacy of the treatment will be poorer. In short, patients with colds should be treated with different proprietary Chinese medicines according to the characteristics of their own conditions, or else the efficacy of treatment will be affected and the condition will be delayed.
