But why do we sometimes feel that the symptoms are much less after a few days of catching a cold? This is because after taking medicine, it can help us relieve symptoms and reduce the stress response of the body. After taking the medicine, my uncomfortable body relaxed a lot, and many friends thought it would be fine, but in fact, the virus still exists in our bodies.
Let me explain it in detail below.
First of all, why do we catch a cold?
1. A cold is a series of reactions when the body encounters external interference. Many friends often feel this way. Recently, when the weather suddenly turns cold, more people will catch a cold around them. This is actually one of the situations in which the outside world interferes with our bodies.
There are two reasons why people catch a cold: First, external viruses or bacteria are aggressive and multiply too fast, and enter our bodies through the nose and mouth of the face, causing colds. Another reason is the recent cold wind, or being too tired and staying up late for a long time, which makes the body's immunity decline and breaks the balance of the body's operation. Viruses that can be suppressed by the body multiply rapidly and can also cause colds.
2. What is the cause of wind-cold and wind-heat mentioned by Chinese medicine? In fact, wind-cold-wind-heat, which is often said in Chinese medicine, is only a summary of symptoms after a cold, not the cause of your illness. Traditional Chinese medicine only divides your symptoms into more details, and its function is to let everyone prescribe the right medicine according to their own symptoms.
For example:
After catching a cold, people will have a runny nose, especially afraid of cold, cough up white phlegm and other symptoms, which is very similar to the reaction of people after blowing air conditioning and catching cold. So at this time, you should drive away the wind and cold for yourself and drink some warm food such as ginger soup to drive away the cold; Moreover, runny nose, high fever and expectoration seem to be a reaction caused by heat. You can drink some cold food such as mint water and green tea to get rid of the summer heat.
After finding out the reason, let's talk about the question asked by the subject: how to recover quickly from a cold?
1. Taking medicine can't cure a cold, it can only help us relieve the symptoms. According to experimental statistics, 95% of people's colds are viral, not bacterial. According to the current medical level, no matter Chinese medicine or western medicine, there is no effective drug to kill the virus directly. That is to say, whether you take medicine or not, it actually takes about 1 week to get well.
So taking medicine doesn't work for us? Not exactly. The role of drugs is to help us relieve symptoms and reduce the stress response of the body.
Tell you about the stress response. After a cold, each of us will feel a little sick to some extent. Slight sneezing and coughing; In severe cases, you may have a fever. This discomfort of the body is actually a stress response produced by the immune system after detecting the virus invasion, and its function is to further activate our immune system.
Because everyone's physical condition is different, the degree of stress response is also different. Some friends have only mild symptoms, such as a runny nose, a little sore throat and a little fever. Some friends have a fierce stress reaction, such as a sudden fever of 38 or 39 degrees or a sore throat that makes them speechless.
Friends with intense stress response should not be desperate at this time, but must take some medicine to reduce the body's stress response and relieve symptoms. People with high fever take antipyretics, people with sore throats take painkillers, or go to the hospital for help.
This is why some friends feel that they will recover soon after taking the medicine. After the drug reduced the stress response of the body, the originally uncomfortable body relaxed a lot after taking the drug. Many friends think this is good, but in fact, the virus still exists in our bodies.
The reason why a cold can be cured depends on the defense device in our body-immunity. Our body has a very magical defense device, which is immunity. Every cold is a battle between immunity and virus.
Immunity is a bit like the radar in our bodies. After the virus enters the body, it will be quickly detected by immunity. B cells in immune cells contain more than a dozen gene fragments. After the virus was detected, B cells were activated, and a dozen gene fragments quickly began to arrange and combine until the foreign virus was correctly identified, and then it was ruthlessly killed.
This is why it takes about a week to recover after a cold, whether you take medicine or not. Because the immune system needs some time to activate.
Think about it this way, I think the immune system is really exquisite. There are infinite possibilities for the combination of more than a dozen gene fragments. If people calculate them separately, I don't know how long it will take. In our body, it takes only a few days for B cells to match the right combination.
What is even more surprising is that viruses recognized by the immune system will leave recognition memories (as many as 100 viruses cause us to catch a cold). The next time you encounter the same virus, your body will recover faster. So every time you catch a cold and have a fever, it is equivalent to upgrading the system.
When you are sick, it doesn't seem so difficult to keep on thinking that your immune system is working so hard.
Although a cold can't be cured by taking medicine, there are two ways to help us recover quickly: regulating the spleen and stomach and drinking more hot water.
Conditioning the spleen and stomach When immunity detects that the virus invades the body, you will want to quickly discharge these "foreign bodies". Many friends can't eat after catching a cold, or they tend to have diarrhea after eating. The reason is this: the body is in the defensive stage, and anything foreign will be regarded as a "foreign body" and want to be discharged quickly.
But if you have a cold and don't eat, your body is weak, and your immune system can't play its biggest role. Just like soldiers fighting, but without food and grass. Regulating the spleen and stomach is to find ways to restore appetite, eat more food, make the body strong, and recover from colds faster.
Recommended food: Xiaochaihu Granules (Baiyunshan Pharmaceutical)
Drink more hot water. When our body is immune to the virus, it will actually discharge a lot of garbage, that is, the waste metabolized by the body. A runny nose when you have a cold is a way for your body to excrete waste. Drinking more hot water is to help the body to speed up excretion, so that these "wastes" can be excreted through urination as soon as possible.
It is not only a cold, but also many other diseases. Doctors will tell them that drinking more hot water is the same.
The most fundamental way to recover quickly is to improve immunity.
1. There are two aspects to improving immunity, which enhance the stability and flexibility of the body. Strengthening the stability of the body is to lay a good foundation for the body. Generally speaking, our current schedule is relatively regular. Nine to five, sleep at a fixed time, without too much adjustment. The main problem is that our foundation is too weak. Many people often stay up late and don't exercise. Although we live a regular life, it is a drain on our health.
The best way to give your body a solid foundation is to keep exercising regularly. Don't run for a week, and suddenly take a day to run 5 kilometers or 8 kilometers. This sudden exercise is not regular exercise, but it is not good for your health. The so-called regular exercise means exercising at least four times a week for at least half an hour each time. Keep it for at least half a year, so that the intestinal flora and microorganisms in your body can gradually adapt to this rhythm and make adjustments, so as to really lay a good foundation for your body.
The second is to enhance the flexibility of the body, that is, the ability to resist fluctuations. After the body adapts to the regular exercise rhythm, appropriately increase the intensity and stimulate it. For example, if your body is used to running 2km a day and you don't feel tired, you can spend 4km a day to stimulate our physical state. Then slowly adjust to run 2.5km or 3km every day, and then suddenly increase the intensity after getting used to it. This cycle can steadily enhance the body's immunity.
2. If there is no effective relief after more than 7 days, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.
Data show that 5~ 10 days is the cycle for normal people to cope with colds. If you are healthy and have strong immunity, it may take only 4 or 5 days to recover from a cold; However, if the body's immunity is poor, it is normal that 10 days is even poor.
However, generally speaking, it takes seven days from catching a cold to catching a cold. If you have a cold for more than 7 days and the symptoms have not been alleviated, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a doctor's examination. It is possible that you have a bacterial cold and need to take appropriate antibiotics for treatment.
# # # For ordinary young adults, it is good to take medicine for one week and not take medicine for seven days. The common cold is a self-limiting disease caused by viral infection, and there is no cure. It depends on your immunity. Rest more and drink more water. The subject means to control symptoms. Symptomatic treatment of severe symptoms. Take medicine for severe fever and sore throat, 1 medicine for severe headache, cough medicine for severe cough and antibiotics for infection. Besides other serious complications.
According to the comments in the comments section, I found that it was not very rigorous. It can only be said that most of the common colds we usually encounter (except influenza) are viral (except bacteria), and most of them have no serious complications. Please think about how to be more strict. Let's go to the comment area @ 中中中中中中.
What I want to say is that most of the time (several times), we just take medicine to relieve symptoms, not shorten the course of disease. That's why it's good to take medicine for a week and not to take medicine for seven days.
In addition, don't take antibiotics every time you catch a cold. Don't use it indiscriminately without signs of bacterial infection, and don't take multiple antibiotics at the same time. Antibiotic abuse has been deeply rooted in the public mind.
Thirdly, if there are signs of bacterial infection (bacterial cold or viral cold secondary to bacterial infection), you should still take antibiotics. Please go to the hospital in time in case of non-majority. There are countless deaths due to "cold" in clinic (the cold here is quoted because it is only understood by the public). Don't overdo it, don't go to extremes.
Finally, I accept @ Zhou's criticism of my imprecise expression, and thank @ Zhou for his well-founded supplement. Don't accept unreasonable abuse and refutation from a salesman with an F and a math student with an H.
# # # Note: First of all, we should distinguish between wind-cold cold and wind-heat cold, which are different. This is only for the common common cold.
In this era when everything is efficient, five hours will soon heal.

Personal situation: wind-cold and cold caused by blowing cold air+moderate and low fever, headache and dizziness+limb pain, no cough, no medical knowledge (exemption).
Personal solution:
Eat something that can make you sweat and replenish energy, such as Chili fried rice and spicy powder. Take a super hot bath, especially the special care of eg forehead, armpit and sole. The longer the better, fight poison with poison (fight heat with heat). For nasal thiamine, the eyes are sour, but: after warm water is mixed with salt, rinse your mouth and brush your teeth, and consciously brush your chin/throat with a toothbrush (pay attention to the depth), which will cause nausea/vomiting through the stimulation of salt water, thus cleaning up some garbage. Wash your face with hot water (personally acceptable) and apply a hot towel on your nose (which can cover your eyes), which can dredge the residue and relieve eye pain. 4. Drink plenty of water (I drank about 3-4L of water in a few hours).
5. Take cold medicine.
6. Cover the quilt: put on thermal underwear in winter, cover the quilt in bed and have a good sleep (for some adults, it is said to be dangerous for children).
7. Have a good rest, close the curtains and sleep for a few hours (I slept five by myself).
8. During sleep, if you wake up, you should constantly replenish water.
9. After waking up, change your soaked underwear and dry your body/take a super hot bath. (Be careful not to catch a cold again)
10. It's cured.
-
Personal prejudice:
Reasons for using hot water instead of ice pack/cold water. I have always believed that contradictions can never be solved by repression, but they must be dredged. Such as the internal heat of the body, cold water will only suppress it, and the surface "cooling" will block the release. (Of course, this only refers to low-grade fever; In addition to high fever, if you don't cool down physically like that, you may really burn your brain. If the temperature is high, please cool your forehead with an ice pack/cold water towel in time to prevent brain burns. )
Patch:
If a sore throat is like a viral cold:
You can try it (if people are not allergic or not suitable)-Nianci 'an loquat cream/rock sugar pear boiled water (I don't know if it can be mixed; It is recommended not to mix; Select only one item)
(Don't bother to boil water with rock sugar pears first)
-
Plus: since it is self-treatment, it can only be said that it is responsible for itself.
-
You still need to pay attention to the hot bath and time (just to be on the safe side, be patient when adjusting the temperature and time-don't try to become a big fat man in one bite). When a cold has a low fever, people are already in a bad mental state, and the possibility of fainting in the bathroom in a trance state cannot be ruled out, so if you have a partner or roommate, you can tell them in advance to prevent possible accidents. Otherwise, fainting in a closed space may have serious consequences. I saw in the comment area-some netizens turned on the air conditioner to keep warm in the car, but I must remind them-the consequences of fainting in a closed space are very dangerous. If you have to do this, please make sure that at least one person is there to remind you.
In addition, this slightly high-intensity hot bath may have problems and defects in its own cardiopulmonary function, which is more dangerous? (such as myocarditis, etc ... I don't understand)
# # # # # Drink more hot water without affecting sleep. Can be brewed with fruit or VC. Have a good rest and take a hot bath when you sleep. Be careful not to catch a cold, especially if you catch a cold, which is very annoying. In fact, it is more useful to drink more hot water and cover your sweat. If it is fundamental, take a good exercise, and don't forget to exercise when you are well. # # # Angry answer, not a medical major, but very experienced! First of all, if the cold does not cause fever, persistent cough, chest pain, breath holding and other serious complications, you don't need too much treatment, just relieve the symptoms (those are not just colds, but various inflammations caused by lower respiratory tract infections, so you must seek medical attention immediately). Because most instant drugs use antibiotics, which is not good for the body and easy to make bacteria resistant! Second: There are two kinds of colds, which we call wind-cold colds and wind-heat colds. The characteristics of wind-cold cold are a lot of sneezing in the early stage, runny nose, no fever, no sweating, cough and so on. The initial symptoms of wind-heat cold are fever, sore throat, stuffy nose and no runny nose. Then after three or four days, I began to cough, hoarse voice, sore throat, bloodshot eyes and tears. The yellow one is infected by Staphylococcus aureus, and the green one is infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which belongs to the upper respiratory tract infection caused by bacteria (I know so much because I still have a sore throat and watery eyes). Then, the cold can be cured immediately at the beginning. For example, if you know that you are cold and frozen, go home and drink ginger tea, cover the quilt, soak your feet with hot water and drink more hot water. Occasionally, when you start sneezing three times in a row, your throat is dry, itchy and painful, and you have a headache and dizziness, go home and get two packs of 999 or other medicines for clearing away heat, toxic materials and expelling wind, and drink and sleep. I know wind-heat cold very well, because I always feel hot, suddenly catch a cold, and then I start to feel whole body pain, fatigue, dizziness, headache, and hanging water has no very relieving effect. I'm just supplementing water and nutrition or adding antibiotics. If it's not serious, I'd better not hang up. Finally, take more rest if you have a cold! Don't stay up late to do strenuous exercise, which is easy to cause myocarditis. If it is already uncomfortable, take some symptomatic Chinese patent medicines to relieve symptoms, and use less hormones and antibiotics. Finally, drinking more tea at ordinary times can supplement a lot of vitamins, tea polyphenols, anthocyanins and so on to increase immunity, which is effective for pro-testing. I used to come once a month, but later I got a job as a tea artist. I drink a lot of tea every day and I haven't caught a cold for more than half a year. I have resigned for more than a month, and I am catching a cold ... If I really don't like tea, I should drink more lemonade, because vitamin C can improve my immunity. You don't like lemonade, so drink water, universal water! Finally, if you are on the plateau, listen to me and lie down and listen to the doctor! # # # Talk about treating with Chinese medicine.
Although you can recover quickly after taking Chinese medicine, you should pay attention to the choice of medicine, and the wrong choice may become heavier and heavier.
To put it simply, a cold is an offensive and defensive battle that occurs on the muscle surface, and the muscle surface is closely related to the lungs, so this battle often spreads to the lungs, showing a series of respiratory symptoms such as cough and runny nose.
The trend of evil fighting against positive determines the advance and retreat of the disease.
2. The wrong cold medicine, the heavier you eat.
When I caught a cold as a child, I would buy a lot of cold medicine, such as vitamin C Yinqiao tablets, but it would take a week or even longer to get well.
Later, I read that a cold usually takes a week to get over it. I looked puzzled and found that the medicine was free.
Why can't taking cold medicine cure a cold? The reason is very simple, that is, colds are divided into wind-cold colds and wind-heat colds. I took the wrong medicine, so it's getting heavier.
For example, if I have a cold, I need to take medicine to drive away the cold. As a result, eating a cool vitamin C Yinqiao tablet for wind-heat cold will only aggravate the condition. I'm glad I can still sit here and type after taking cold medicine for so many years.
self-diagnostic
As a non-medical professional, how to judge whether you have a cold or a wind-heat cold?
Come on, take a small notebook and start to remember:
generally speaking
Cold-a cold with a lot of nasal congestion, clear nose and thin phlegm;
Wind-heat is the opposite, with yellow and turbid nose and thick phlegm.
Cold is more afraid of cold, preferring temperature rather than sweating;
Wind and heat are not afraid of cold and fever.
The above are some reliable identification points, which are easy for ordinary people to analyze.
In addition, there are methods to judge migraine/headache, sore throat/itching, and changes in urine and stool. Although this is correct in theory, it is inconvenient and confusing to see a doctor.
In addition, cold and cold will turn into heat, such as cold and cold two days ago, and the nasal sound is clear. After a few days, the cold pathogen may turn into heat, wind heat, yellow phlegm and thick nose, so it is necessary to change the medicine in time according to the symptoms.
4. Caught a cold, how to recover quickly
Having said so many theoretical foundations, we can finally get to the point (Chinese medicine science popularization is so troublesome)
If you want to get over a cold quickly, you should first take measures quickly when you get up. The longer you wait, the slower the treatment will be.
Cold and cold are the most common. At first, there will be some symptoms such as stuffy nose and runny nose. Treating them is simple. Go to the kitchen and choose some warm herbs: ginger and onion.
Cut 4 or 5 slices of ginger, 3 slices of onion, boil clothes in water, then wear warm clothes, turn on the computer to catch up with the drama for a while and sweat a little. It usually gets better soon.
If it is too heavy and you need to take medicine, you should be careful when you go to the drugstore. Cold and wind-heat cold medicines are piled on a shelf, and the best way to distinguish them is to look at the ingredients.
If you have a cold, choose a cold medicine, which says: Ephedra, Notopterygium Rhizoma, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Zingiberis Rhizoma and Radix Angelicae Dahuricae.
Wind-heat colds are mostly caused by exogenous wind-heat or transformed from wind-cold colds (but wind-heat will not be transformed into wind-cold)
In this case, you can buy boiled water clothes such as mulberry leaves, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle and forsythia, and choose medicines with the words mulberry leaves, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, forsythia, mint and burdock.
There is another person who often catches a cold four times a month, each time 1 week. ...
Repeated colds are due to the weakness of vital qi responsible for immunity. If you don't want to continue, treat righteousness well. You can use Yupingfeng powder, which is available in pharmacies. Of course, it is forbidden during a cold, because these particles may be intercepted by pathogenic factors.
5. Add two sentences as usual
In fact, many diseases are the same as colds. Although their symptoms and names are exactly the same, their causes are different, their medication is completely different or even the opposite, and it is very easy to take the wrong medicine, especially Chinese medicine. # # # Watch a particularly tearful movie, don't suppress your emotions, and cry hard. It won't hurt after crying. There is also a cure-all thing-hot water = _ =, and the other is adequate sleep and a good mood on time. As for VC and cold medicine, I'm too lazy to go out and buy it ... # # According to my observation for many years, it takes seven days to get over a common cold, whether you take medicine or not. If you have a viral cold and your nose is yellow, you should drink plenty of water and go to the hospital to get some medicine, because in severe cases, your whole body will ache, your brain will swell or you will have a high fever. Be sure not to catch a cold or it will get worse! Will seriously affect your work! # # # A cold is not a disease. Cough like hell!
The weather is changeable recently, and many people say that they have a bad cough. At present, I recommend several ways to cure cough easily without injection or medicine. Garlic is white and spicy. It is the best way to dispel wind and evil spirits through lung channels, and it has a miraculous effect in treating cough and throat itching! The following detailed methods are all prescriptions, just choose one!
Method one
Peel a garlic and put it in your mouth. Take a gentle bite from time to time. After the smell of garlic comes out, swallow it slowly. Put a garlic for an hour, the itching will be relieved and the cough will be cured.
Method 2
Boil garlic with rock sugar. Use 30g of garlic, 0g of rock sugar10g, 200ml of water, first boil the water with strong fire, then simmer for a few minutes with low fire, and finally boil it into a small bowl. When the child has a bad cough, drink it three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and it will take effect the next day and recover after three days.
Method 3
Take three or four heads of garlic, peel them, and cut garlic cloves into thin slices. Roast garlic cloves with fire before going to bed at night. After the garlic slices are dried and browned, they are ground into powder with a rolling pin. The more broken, the better. Dig a spoonful of minced garlic and pour it into a teacup, then add a little brown sugar, pour in boiling water, and stir well to drink. Drink one or two cups a day for three days, and the cough can be cured.
Method 4
Steamed garlic water When children cough, use 2 ~ 3 cloves of garlic and 7 ~ 8 cloves of garlic for adults, mash them, put them into a bowl, add some rock sugar, and then add some excess water, which is about 2/3 of the height of the bowl; Cover the bowl and steam in the pot. After the fire boils, steam on low heat 15 minutes. If it is serious, drink water three times a day and don't eat garlic. (For more information, please listen to WeChat WeChat official account: Will you talk about it?)
Method 5
Boil ginger, garlic, brown sugar and water. If the cough is severe and there is more white sputum, it means that the cold is heavier. Drink water boiled with ginger, garlic and brown sugar. Children can use 3 slices of ginger, 3 cloves of garlic and half a spoonful of brown sugar; 7 ~ 8 slices of adult ginger, 7 ~ 8 petals of garlic, one spoonful of brown sugar, put them in a pot and add water. It can be cooked for 10 minute, or three times a day in severe cases.
Method 6
Take a dozen cloves of garlic, mash them into a cup, add too much rock sugar, and brew them with boiling water for tea. 1 once a day, twice a day for those with severe cough. This prescription has the special effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm.
Method 7
Garlic is used to treat cough. Wash your feet before going to bed every night, cut garlic into thin slices and apply it to Yongquan point (located at the sole 1/3), and then stick it firmly with medical tape. Garlic is irritating to the skin and should not be stuck for too long. You'd better remove it when you get up in the morning. This method has certain curative effect on cough, nosebleed and constipation, and the effect will be better if it is applied continuously for 7 ~ 10 days. Maybe some people get blisters on their soles. It is recommended to stop using it until the skin is revived, so that ordinary people will not revive blisters.
Method 8
Mash garlic cloves into paste, put them in an empty medicine bottle, aim the bottle mouth at the nostrils, and try to smell the pungent smell of garlic. Smell it 4 ~ 5 times a day according to the condition, and put on new garlic after the pungent smell fades. The bottle used should not be too big, and it is better to take the size of two nostrils as the standard. In addition, a few pieces of garlic can be peeled and washed, put into a big bottle filled with honey, covered and soaked for about a week, and then taken out for eating.
Health Tips Cough can be divided into wind-cold cough and wind-heat cough. Different types of cough drugs are completely different, so the diet is different. Wind-heat cough: yellow and red tongue coating, indicating greater internal heat. Yellow phlegm, thick, difficult to cough up, sore throat. At this time, you should eat some foods that clear lung, resolve phlegm and relieve cough, such as wax gourd, towel gourd and lotus root. Wind-cold cough: white tongue coating indicates severe cold. Thin phlegm, white and sticky, stuffy nose and runny nose. At this time, you should eat some foods that are moist, expectorant and cough-relieving, such as ginger, garlic, leeks and oranges. Cough caused by cold is mostly caused by wind-cold invasion, stagnation of lung qi and unstable lung health. Cough symptoms can be relieved by other dietotherapy. Bian Xiao also has several family therapies for treating cough due to wind-cold, which are simple and applicable, so try them.

As the saying goes, "three points of governance, seven points of support." For the treatment of cough, we should strengthen diet care and pay attention to nourishing the lungs with food. Be able to eat some foods that nourish yin and promote fluid production, such as lily, honey, pear, lotus seed, tremella, grapes and all kinds of fresh vegetables, and eat less spicy products. Tremella rice porridge, lotus root rice porridge, yam rice porridge, jujube tremella soup, excessive white sugar or rock sugar can be used.
# # # Eat Tylenol.
After reading Tylenol's pharmacological explanation, I was particularly moved and used to the pharmacological effects of various drugs. This column says: Not yet clear. Such a clear pharmacological explanation is in line with my expectation of all the effects of cold medicine, and placebo alone is full.
The last record, from cold to recovery: 3 days, of course, mainly thanks to the dear immune system. Then recorded the effect of Tylenol:
1. pseudoephedrine-relieving nasal congestion: the effect is obvious.
2. Dexamethasone-antitussive: The effect is obvious.
3. antihistamines-reduce tears and runny nose: the effect is average
4. acetaminophen-antipyretic and analgesic: because I have predicted that the fever reaction on the first day will stop the cold; Therefore, 1 round did not use drugs in the immune battle, and the effect was difficult to evaluate.
