What is the reason for spitting yellow phlegm in a cold?

Introduction: People will have symptoms of fever and sweating when they have a fever and cold, but the early colds are caused by the invasion of cold in the human body, so they may not all sweat, but there will be some more common manifestations, such as thirst and dry throat. Some will also have runny nose, spitting, etc., in fact, runny nose and yellow phlegm are also because the cold causes the body to be blocked, and the qi and blood cannot be smoothed smoothly, and it will produce heat for a long time, which will cause the phlegm in the human body to turn yellow.

Generally, when spitting yellow phlegm, it indicates that there are symptoms of fever, it is certain that it is a respiratory tract infection, in addition, it may also be because of the phenomenon of fire in the body, so the phlegm will become more viscous, and the color will appear yellow, which is generally not a big problem, as long as you pay attention to conditioning, it can be relieved quickly.

The main reason for the appearance of phlegm in the human body is that there is respiratory fluid in the respiratory tract, once the respiratory tract is inflamed by bacterial infection, it will lead to congestion of the oral mucosa and lead to edema, thus secreting some mucus, plus some tissue cell necrosis will produce sputum. Under normal circumstances, phlegm secreted by the throat can improve the dryness of the mucous membranes, and once inflammation occurs, it will provide certain conditions for bacteria and viruses to survive, such as a cold will cause symptoms of excessive phlegm.

In daily life, you can recuperate through diet, because most of the cough in the human body is related to upper respiratory tract infection, so when pharyngitis occurs, you can eat more food to reduce fire and clear heat, which can improve the symptoms of cough. Once the cough is more severe, it still needs to be improved by taking medicine, so you can go to the hospital to receive**, and after the doctor confirms the diagnosis, the cause of the cough is clarified, and then take expectorant drugs to improve. The components that cause people to cough up phlegm will be more complex, most of which are products of the body's metabolism and have little to do with human toxins.

You can usually eat more light food, supplement vitamins and high protein, improve the body's immunity, so as to avoid colds, if the symptoms are indeed more serious, or can not be relieved by themselves, you must go to the hospital in time for a detailed examination, the specific situation is specific**.

The phenomenon of spitting yellow phlegm in a cold is caused by wind-heat and cold, and there is an inflammatory reaction in the body, which will lead to the phenomenon of spitting yellow phlegm.

The cold and spitting yellow phlegm is because there is inflammation on the fire, and it is a symptom of wind-heat cold, and it is necessary to carry out relevant anti-inflammatory, heat-clearing and detoxification**,

It may be due to a serious infection caused by bacteria, or it is coughing up blood, or it may be a high fever, or it is secreting too much sputum.

It may be due to inflammation, respiratory infection, bacterial invasion, or the cough is getting worse.

In daily life, even an adult will have 3-4 colds a year, also known as upper respiratory tract infections, and colds may be accompanied by coughs. But we will find that when coughing, sometimes the phlegm is yellow and sometimes white. So what's the difference between the two?

How phlegm is produced in the respiratory tract.

Phlegm, in fact, to put it bluntly, is the mucus secreted by the mucous membrane in the human respiratory tract, even if you are not sick, the respiratory tract of a normal person will secrete sputum, but the color is bright and transparent, and a small amount of phlegm will be coughed up in the morning.

Is phlegm harmful in the human body?

In fact, normal sputum has a moisturizing and barrier effect, keeping the respiratory tract moist and adsorbing airborne particles. In addition, it helps to kill pathogens. Moreover, if phlegm appears, it is also a sign of illness in the body, indicating that our respiratory tract is sick.

Therefore, there is no harm in phlegm, but it is necessary to pay attention to active treatment to avoid prolonged coughing and causing damage to the respiratory tract.

In addition, the color of the sputum is different, and the suggestive effect on the disease is also different.

The sputum is yellow and viscous.

In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, it belongs to hot phlegm, which also indicates that it belongs to wind-heat cold and wind-heat cough, and it is necessary to use ** wind-heat drugs symptomatically.

The sputum is white and thin.

In the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, it belongs to cold phlegm, and due to the cold and cough caused by wind cold, it is necessary to use warm lung and cold medicine symptomatically.

Coughing with a lot of phlegm.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by spleen dampness, and if it is caused by spleen and stomach dampness, the color of the sputum is yellowish-white, or with pus and blood. Traditional Chinese medicine is needed to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness.

In addition, the amount of sputum is small and viscous, which may be dry phlegm, or even dry cough, which needs to nourish yin and nourish the lungs; If the sputum is like a flocculent, very viscous, or even dark in color, it belongs to old phlegm.

From the perspective of Western medicine, the yellowish-white appearance of sputum may be caused by 4 categories:

1. Acute bronchitis or tracheitis, which is manifested as small and thick sputum.

2. Chronic bronchitis, manifested as long-term cough, foamy sputum, and purulent sputum.

3. Lung abscess, pneumonia, tuberculosis, manifested as a large amount of purulent sputum.

4. Infection with Candida, similar to cold phlegm, white sputum color, and stringing phenomenon.

In fact, cough, in addition to being caused by respiratory tract infections, may also be caused by the following factors:

1. Other diseases of the respiratory system, such as lung binding, infection, parasites, tumors and other problems, in addition, bronchial asthma, pulmonary embolism, bronchial foreign bodies, etc. will also cause cough.

2. Cardiovascular disease, generally mainly due to the incompleteness of the left atrium, causes pulmonary edema and congestion.

3. Digestive tract diseases, such as gastroesophageal reflux, can also cause cough.

4., other diseases such as habitual cough, psychiatric factors, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, etc.

From the perspective of Western medicine, cold and cough with yellow phlegm are due to the increase in respiratory secretions caused by pathogen infection, and some are caused by bacterial infection that causes respiratory secretions to turn yellow. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, yellow phlegm is caused by hot blood or dampness and heat.

The yellow thick phlegm contains white blood cells and germs killed by white blood cells, which make the phlegm thick and yellow.

Coughing up thick yellow phlegm is due to the invasion of purulent bacteria into the body, causing congestion and edema of the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, and a large amount of viscous yellow purulent secretion oozing.

Coughing up yellow phlegm when you have a cold indicates that you have a lot of inflammation. Or maybe you're showing symptoms of a bacterial infection. We can take anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics by mouth to relieve the condition.

Cough and yellow phlegm belong to wind-heat cold. The main symptoms of wind-heat cold: severe cough, coarse breath or hoarse cough, sore throat, unpleasant sputum, viscous or yellow sputum, sweating when coughing, accompanied by nasal congestion, yellow nasal discharge, and mouth.

Generally, mulberry chrysanthemum drink is added or subtracted, which has the effect of dispelling wind and clearing heat, and promoting lung and coughing. mulberry leaves, chrysanthemums, mint, forsythia to clear wind and heat; Forebear, burdock, almond, bellflower, Zhejiang fritillary, loquat leaf clears the lungs, dissolves phlegm and relieves cough.
