What do you know about colds? How did the ancients understand the cold and how did the understanding

Symptoms of Cold and Flu Colds are usually caused by cold, rain or fatigue, as well as weakened body immunity, and if there are no complications, they usually heal in 3 to 4 days.

So far, the cold has been a very general statement, and the claims about classification and cause are even more confusing. It is foolish to think that a cold in the general sense is actually a temporary disorder of the body's system caused by the sudden inability to adapt to changes in the external environment (such as sudden cold or heat), and it will return to normal after a certain period of self-regulation. This regulation includes rest, calmness, and drinking!

The cold is a common external fever caused by the invasion of the human body by wind evil. It can happen all year round. Especially in winter and spring.

Headache, nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat and cough, fever and chills are the main clinical characteristics. There are different degrees of severity, with mild cases commonly known as colds and severe cases called severe colds.

The effects of excessively prolonged, intense cold can weaken the immune system and weaken the body's resistance to viruses.

Constitutional symptoms are mild, usually no fever, mild chills, fever, headache. Nasal congestion, runny nose (watery).

In secondary bacterial infection, a thick, yellow, purulent discharge may appear. Sore throat, dry throat, mild cough, small amount of white phlegm.

Cold is a common acute infection of the mucous membranes of the nose, throat and upper respiratory tract, that is, acute upper respiratory tract infection.

Pay attention to proper rest, drink plenty of boiled water, and give liquid or easily digestible food during fever. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the mouth, eyes and nose, and maintain indoor air circulation and appropriate temperature and humidity.

One thing is certain about the symptoms of a cold and flu, that is, the cold itself does not cause a cold, it is neither a necessary condition nor a cause of a cold.

The ancients described the cold as "restless", and it was first called by officialdom.

Looking through the classics of Chinese medicine, there is no word "cold". The direct source of the name of the disease is not in the doctor's house, but in the officialdom. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the pavilion (**-level academic institution) had a rotation duty system, and a cabinet member was arranged to stay on duty every night.

At that time, the cabinet members on duty became a trend, and the famous hall of the cabinet members was customary, and it was written as "uneasy stomach" in the duty register.

In the late Song Dynasty, there was a student named Chen Hu who was forced to go to the pavilion for lodging. When he slipped away, he didn't follow the routine and wrote "uneasy stomach", but he set the word "feeling the wind" in a new book. In the Qing Dynasty, ** asked for leave to rest after completing official business, for example, asking for "cold leave".

"Cold leave" as a meaning as a whole has been passed down from here.

Wind-chill cold, wind-heat cold, summer-damp cold, seasonal cold, wind chill. Wind chill The ancients called it typhoid fever. Cold, cold... Wind chill, cold evil.

Before TCM treats a disease, like Western medicine, it is necessary to first make a clear diagnosis, that is, what kind of disease the patient has. After diagnosing the disease, Western medicine can often treat the "disease". This is not the case with traditional Chinese medicine, because traditional Chinese medicine is more concerned about which syndrome type the patient is, and then treats the "syndrome", which is the so-called syndrome differentiation treatment.

Syndrome is a unique concept in traditional Chinese medicine, which is a comprehensive conclusion drawn from the comprehensive analysis of the symptoms and signs collected through the four diagnoses of looking, smelling, asking and cutting under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, which is a reflection of the essence of the disease. The process of syndrome differentiation is the process of comprehensive thinking, that is, the analysis and identification of the patient's situation, and finally the determination of the "syndrome", which is the core content of TCM diagnosis. Because the center of traditional Chinese medicine is centered on "syndrome", what syndrome is used to treat it, so there are often "different treatments for the same disease" and "same treatment for different diseases".'o That is, the same ** manifests different evidences and takes different **; Different ** appear the same certificate and use the same **.

It can be seen that the diagnosis of diseases in traditional Chinese medicine is not important, the key lies in the diagnosis of syndromes.

Syndrome differentiation treatment is the basic method of traditional Chinese medicine, whether it is medicine or dietary therapy, and whether it is internal or external treatment, this principle must be followed. Colds are no exception, although they are all diagnosed as colds, they can have different symptoms, and the methods are therefore different. The following is a brief introduction to the common syndrome types and methods of colds as follows:

8 5 Wind chill and cold (wind chill syndrome: In addition to general symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, headache, body aches or cough, there are also the characteristics of fear of cold and heavy fever with light fever or no fever and no sweating, thin white tongue coating and floating pulse.

Wind chill syndrome and wind heat syndrome are the two basic types of colds. In addition, there are also summer heat and humidity syndromes, virtual human external infection syndromes, etc.

1. Colds are caused by colds, because people's body temperature is in a constant state, and when the temperature rises, you need to reduce your clothing, and you need to add clothes when the temperature drops. If you don't pay attention to cold protection and warmth in the autumn and winter when the temperature difference is large, it is easy to keep the body in a cold state, thereby reducing the immune system, and you will catch a cold after being cold.

2. Colds are caused by low resistance, and some elderly and children's resistance is relatively weak, so they go black.

Let the cold virus take advantage of the weakness and break through the body's defense system, which causes people to suffer from the feeling of being scared and shivering. In order to prevent colds, it is necessary to improve one's ability to prevent the spread of the disease, and regulate regret through exercise or diet.

The common cold is caused by a viral infection of the nose and neck (upper respiratory tract). Children under 6 years of age are at greatest risk of catching a cold, but healthy adults can also catch a cold 2 to 3 times a year. Most people recover from the common cold within a week or 10 days, but smokers can have symptoms that last longer.

1. The general symptoms of the common cold.

The symptoms of the common cold usually occur after 1 to 3 days of exposure to the cold virus, and the symptoms vary from person to person, but not just the following symptoms:

Runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, congestion, slight pain, slight headache, sneezing, low-grade fever, discomfort. As the common cold develops, secretions from the nose become thicker and turn yellow or green, but are not a sign of a bacterial infection.

2. Common cold dangerous symptoms.

Adults, please ** fever exceeded, fever persists for more than 5 days, fever again after fever, shortness of breath, dyspnea, severe sore throat, headache, sinusitis, etc.

For children, immediately** neonatal fever38, fever persisting for more than two days in children of all ages, worsening or not improving, severe symptoms (such as headache or cough), breathing, tinnitus, irritability, unusual lethargy, loss of appetite, etc.

First, an acute ear infection (otitis media). This occurs when bacteria or viruses enter the space behind the eardrum. Typical symptoms and signs include earache and sometimes a green or yellow discharge from the nose.

Second, asthma. Colds can cause asthma attacks. It is also acute sinusitis.

In addition, other secondary infections. These include strep throat, pneumonia, and bronchitis in children.

4. Causes of the common cold.

Many kinds of viruses usually cause colds, but rhinovirus is the most common cause. Cold viruses enter the body through the mouth, eyes, and nose. When a person coughs, sneezes, or talks, the virus spreads through droplets in the air.

It can also be spread by sharing intimate contact transmission or contaminated items (e.g., bowls, towels, toys,**) with someone with a cold. If you come into contact with or expose yourself, you may catch a cold if you come into contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth.

Precautions for colds:

1. You can't take medicine casually. There are many types of colds, and you can't just take cold medicine when you have a cold. Because different types of colds require different cold medicines to be effective, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine to really catch a cold.

Therefore, when you have a cold, you should take the initiative to seek help from a doctor, take medicine in time under the guidance of a doctor, and be careful not to take antibiotics casually.

2. Pay attention to rest. Rest has a great effect on the body's recovery, and resting more when you have a cold can improve the body's immune function. Do not overexert yourself during a cold. Doing so can be very harmful to the recovery from a cold.

3. Drink plenty of hot water. Drinking water can replenish the water emitted when you have a cold and ensure that your body is fully hydrated. On the other hand, drinking more hot water can promote the body's metabolic function and have a detoxifying effect on the body.

4. The diet should be regular, mainly light. People with colds should not eat food that is too hot or spicy. Otherwise, Li Tan will aggravate the neck pain, which is not conducive to the recovery of colds. In order to recover well, one should eat light and blind food in the food.

A cold is not a disease. Coughing, sneezing, runny nose, headache, fever, all of these symptoms are called colds. Cold medicine does not cure a cold.

All the medicines on the market that claim to be the best cold are to relieve the symptoms, and they can neither ** catch a cold nor prevent a cold. Generally speaking, the symptoms of the common cold do not affect work and life, you don't need to take reed cover wild medicine, you can drink more water, if the symptoms are too obvious and affect your life and work, you can take a little medicine to relieve the symptoms.

In ordinary life, we should participate in more outdoor activities, exercise more, improve our own immunity, and add clothes to prevent colds when the weather temperature is low.

The common cold is that you don't need to take medicine when you have a mu, you can drink a few Zen Shousen cups of hot water and sweat, and then there is the manifestation of the common cold, not that Qin infiltration is very serious, and don't be too nervous, constantly taking medicine will cause great harm to the body.

The common cold is generally a toxic infection, which will imitate the symptoms of the upper respiratory tract, nasal congestion, sore throat, sneezing, and an increase in body temperature, as well as fatigue and weakness.
