Cough is a common phenomenon in our life. We often cough for a long time, but it doesn't get better. It's already on medication. At this time, we can't help but worry that it will not be symptomatic. Did I mistake a cough due to lung heat for a cough due to lung cold? Now let's distinguish between the two.

1. 1. Cough due to wind-cold is generally characterized by thin phlegm, white color and itchy throat. Often accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, fear of cold, no sweat, headache, joint pain, white tongue and fetal movement.

2. Second, the symptoms of wind-heat cough are generally cough, sticky or yellow phlegm, unsmooth expectoration, dry mouth, sore throat, yellow runny nose, fever, sweating, headache, thin yellow tongue coating and so on.

3. Third: cold and hot cough, please observe the tongue coating: if the tongue coating is white, it is a cold cough; If the tongue coating is yellow and red, it is a hot cough. Lung-heat cough is hot, yellow tongue coating, rapid pulse, lung-heat cough is cold, and expectoration is thin.

Matters needing attention

Through careful observation, we can still clearly distinguish the difference between the two. In our daily life, we all need to develop good living and working habits and drink plenty of water to prevent coughing.
