Popular Science Answers] Dear fans, hello! Thank you very much for your interest in our popular science articles. In response to your question, I will give you a detailed answer on how to distinguish between a wind-chill cold and a wind-heat cold.
First of all, we need to understand the definition and characteristics of wind-chill cold and wind-heat cold. Wind chill cold is a disease that causes cold symptoms in the human body due to the invasion of cold evil. The main symptoms include: chills, fever, no sweating, headache, body aches, nasal congestion, runny nose, etc. Wind-heat cold is a cold symptom caused by the invasion of heat evil. The main symptoms include: fever, sweating, headache, cough, sore throat, yellow discharge, etc.
Next, I will give you three simple ways to help you distinguish between a wind-chill cold and a wind-heat cold:
1.Observe the fever: the wind chill cold fever is mild, the fever is accompanied by chills and chills, and the body temperature is usually 375℃-38.5 between; The wind-heat cold fever is more severe, and the fever is accompanied by sweating, and the body temperature is usually 385℃-39.5 between;
2.Observe the color of nasal discharge: nasal congestion with cold and cold, runny nose, white in color; Wind-heat cold, nasal congestion, runny yellow discharge, yellow in color.
3.Observation of tongue coating: the tongue coating for wind-cold colds is thin and white, and the tongue coating for wind-heat colds is thin and yellow.
In addition, for wind-chill colds and wind-heat colds, ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions also have corresponding ** plans. For wind chill and cold, we can choose ephedra soup plus or minus. Ephedra soup has the effect of sweating and relieving the surface, promoting lung and asthma, and is suitable for wind and cold. Its main ingredients include ephedra, cinnamon sticks, almonds, boiled licorice, etc. For wind-heat colds, we can choose to add or subtract Yinqiaosan. Yinqiaosan has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting lungs and throat, and is suitable for wind, heat and cold. Its main ingredients include honeysuckle, forsythia, peppermint, burdock seeds, etc.
Finally, when you give your family members treatment and medication, be sure to choose the right regimen according to their specific symptoms. If in doubt, it is recommended that you seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying your condition. I hope my answer is helpful to you!
