Is the flu wind hot or wind cold? Is the flu a virus or a bacterium?

Influenza is not wind heat or wind cold, under normal circumstances, epidemic risk is usually caused by viral infection, not bacterial infection, bacterial infection is generally not called cold.

The flu is a type of wind chill cold. It was a sudden cold, which caused the virus to affect the respiratory tract. Influenza is a virus.

It is generally a cold with a cold and a wind. Influenza is caused by a viral infection, and it is not a bacterial infection, which is generally an inflammation.

1. Different nature: wind-chill cold is a cold caused by wind blowing and cold, which occurs more often in autumn and winter. Viral fever is a common disease in people, including the common cold, epidemic fever and viral pharyngitis.

2. The reasons are different: the virus is a Class C infectious disease, with obvious seasonality. Wind chill and cold are caused by the evil attack of wind chill and the loss of lung qi.

3. Different manifestations: wind chill and cold are manifested as severe chills, mild fever, no sweating, headache and body pain, nasal congestion and runny nose, cough and spitting out thin white sputum. The virus has a high fever of 39 °C and 40 °C, accompanied by chills, and obvious systemic symptoms, such as headache, muscle aches and fatigue, otitis media, pneumonia, encephalitis, etc.

1. Wind-chill cold.

In addition to general symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, cough, and headache, patients with cold and nasal congestion also have chills, low-grade fever, no sweating, muscle pain, runny nose, spitting thin white sputum, red, swollen and painful throat, no thirst or thirst for hot drinks, and thin white moss. This cold is associated with the patient's feeling of wind chill. **It should be based on the principle of symplectic and warm solution table.

Patients can choose cold and flu powder, cold and heat clearing powder, Jiuwei Qianghuo pill, Tongxuanli lung pill, afternoon tea granules and other medicines**. If the patient has symptoms of constipation with internal heat, he or she can take Fengtongsheng Pills**. Patients with wind-cold cold should not use drugs such as Sangju cold tablets, Yinqiao antidote tablets, Lingqiao antidote tablets, and compound cold tablets.

**The key to a cold is the need to sweat a little (called Xinwen Jiebiao in traditional Chinese medicine), there are many methods, including sauna, soak your feet in hot water (it is best to add some wine), cover with two layers of quilts, drink ginger syrup, drink ginger porridge and so on. The main prescription for wind and cold is Guizhi Tang, the first prescription for typhoid fever, also known as the king of harmonic medicine (ephedra soup is also used for wind and cold, but it is used with caution in the south).

Summary: Xin Wen solves the table, Xuan lung dissipates cold.

2. Wind-heat cold.

In addition to the general symptoms of colds such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, and headache, patients also have severe fever, thick and yellow sputum, sore throat, which usually precedes cold symptoms, yellow or black sputum, constipation and other characteristics. **It should be based on the principle of pungent and cool solution. Patients can choose Xiangxue antiviral oral liquid, cold and antipyretic powder, banlan root powder, Yinqiao antidote pill, antelope detoxification pill and other drugs**.

Patients with wind-heat cold should avoid using drugs such as Jiuwei Qianghuo Pill and Lilung Pill.

There are more than two kinds of colds, there are:

Wind chill cold: Generally, the fever is mild, and the patient is a little hot, but he will not feel the heat. On the contrary, he is obviously afraid of the cold and likes to lie down and cover the quilt.

Wind-heat cold: The general patient has obvious fever symptoms, so the patient obviously feels hot, but when the wind blows, he will feel a little afraid of cold. However, this fear of cold does not last forever, and some patients will consciously wear more clothes because of a cold, but they feel very hot and uncomfortable when they wear them.

Epidemic ** Epidemic: (referred to as influenza) is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza virus, and it is also a highly contagious and fast-spreading disease. It is mainly transmitted through airborne droplets, person-to-person contact, or contact with contaminated items.

Typical clinical symptoms are acute onset of high fever, generalized aches, significant fatigue, and mild respiratory symptoms.

Virus: It is customary to divide it into virus and bacteria. Or the common cold and the epidemic ** cold.

Viruses include: common cold, epidemic and viral pharyngitis. Bacteria are rising:

Bacterial pharyngeal tonsillitis. The main difference is that the hormone is different, the virus is due to the virus, and the bacteria is due to the bacteria.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that colds can generally be divided into two categories: wind-chill colds and wind-heat colds. The pathogenesis, symptoms, principles and medications of these two types of colds are very different. So what is the difference between a wind-chill cold and a wind-heat cold?

First of all, let's understand what is a wind-cold cold and what is a wind-heat cold.

1. What is a cold and cold?

1. Wind chill cold: It mostly occurs in the cold season, such as winter, late autumn and early spring, and is a disease caused by feeling cold.

2. Symptoms of excitation: fever and light beats, severe chills, no sweating, headache and body pain, nasal discharge, cough, no redness and swelling of the pharynx, pale red tongue, and tight pulse.

3. Method: Using Xinwen solution table, Mingzhao commonly used Chinese patent medicines include children's Zhibao pills.

4. Dietary suggestions: need to eat cold and sweaty food. The staple food can be boiled porridge with green onions, chili red oil noodles, and tea can be taken with ginger brown sugar tea, ginger perilla tea, brewed with boiling water, and sweating will be healed.

2. What is wind-heat cold?

1. Wind-heat cold: It mostly occurs in the warm season, such as spring, early summer and early autumn, etc., and is a disease caused by feeling the evil qi of wind and heat.

2. Symptoms: severe fever, mild chills, sweating or little sweating, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, red tongue, pulse number (i.e., rapid pulse beating).

3. **Method: Xin Liang Jie, commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Pediatric Re Suqing Oral Liquid, Pediatric Soybean Qiao Qingre Granules, Pediatric Cold Granules (Oral Liquid), etc.

4. Dietary suggestions: Eat food that clears heat and removes fire. The staple food can be mung bean porridge, tea can be brewed with 5 honeysuckle, boiling water, several cups a day, vegetables can eat cold mung bean sprouts, winter melon soup, watermelon, pears and apples in fruits.

It is best to avoid eating too much fish or other tonics.

3. How to distinguish between wind-cold and wind-heat cold?

1. Season: Generally speaking, in autumn and winter, most of children's colds are wind cold, that is, they feel the invasion of wind cold, so this period of time should be treated as wind chill cold; When in summer, it is generally easy to catch a cold with wind heat, that is, external wind heat.

2. The color and texture of phlegm: there will be phlegm in general cold and cough, if the child's phlegm is relatively thin and white, it means that it is a cold and cold; If the cough has thick phlegm and is relatively yellow and thick, it is likely to be caused by wind, heat and cold. Many children can't spit, parents should let their children try to learn to spit more, and it will be much better to spit out.

3. Whether the throat hurts: Generally speaking, the throat of a cold and cold will not hurt, just a dry cough, but there is no redness and swelling; If the throat is more sore, red, swollen, and the throat hurts, it means that it is a wind-heat cold.

4. Nasal discharge: When a child has a cold, he will generally have a runny nose, if it is a runny nose, it means that it is generally a cold and cold; If the nasal discharge is thick and yellowish, it means that you have a cold. Note that sometimes, it is clear at first, and then it becomes yellow nasal discharge, indicating that the child has inflammation.

5. Whether the mouth is dry: If the mouth is not dry after a cold, it means that it is a cold from the wind; If the mouth is dry, the child always wants to drink water, and always feels thirsty, it means that he has a cold.

There is a cross-relationship, because the cold caused by the virus causes the physical condition to decline, then the bacteria can easily invade the body to form a cross-infected cold, the main symptoms are fever and bronchitis and other symptoms.

Epidemic ** is caused by viruses, if there is a sore throat, it is caused by bacteria, but the wind chill is not caused by a virus.

Traditional Chinese medicine is about syndrome differentiation, and according to traditional Chinese medicine, it is mutual growth and mutual restraint, and there is a certain cross-relationship.

Difference Between Wind Chill and Wind Heat:

Wind chill: low-grade fever, headache, chills, no sweating, cough without phlegm, nasal congestion, runny nose, weakness of limbs.

Wind fever: high fever, sweating, nasal congestion, headache, sore throat, cough with phlegm.

Wind chill is low-grade fever, chills without sweating, dry cough, runny nose, and soreness of limbs. Wind fever is high fever, no chills, sweating, sore throat, dry throat, cough with phlegm, and yellow phlegm.

Wind chill: **: Caused by feeling the wind chill.

Symptoms: severe chills (fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache).

Wind-heat cold:**: Acute respiratory infection caused by influenza poison.

Symptoms: Sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache.

There is a crossover relationship ... But you can't understand it.

Wind-heat cold is a cold caused by too much heat in the body, and a cold is a physical disease, so while treating the symptoms, we should pay attention to reducing fire and regulating the temperature in the body. The same is true for wind chills. A viral cold is a cold caused by a cold virus, and it is important to take antiviral drugs at this time.

Wind chill and cold are caused by the evil attack of wind chill and the loss of lung qi. The treatment method should be based on the Xinwen solution. Symptoms can be seen: severe chills, mild fever, no sweating, headache and body pain, nasal congestion and runny nose, cough and spitting up thin white sputum, lack of thirst or thirst for hot drinks, and thin white moss.

Wind-heat cold is mainly manifested as severe fever, but fear of cold and wind is not obvious, nasal blockage and runny nose, heavy cough, or thick yellow sputum, headache, thirst and drinking, red throat, dry throat or itching. Dry stool, yellow urine, red and swollen tonsils, pharyngeal congestion, thin yellow or thick tongue coating, red tongue, and swollen and rapid pulse.

Viral infection is a common respiratory infection caused by a variety of viruses. It includes wind-chill colds and wind-heat colds. Triggers include cold, rain, excessive fatigue, and malnutrition.

The main manifestations are sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, dry throat, sore throat, cough, hoarseness and other symptoms. The whole body manifests as headache, body aches, fatigue and weakness, loss of appetite, or no fever, or low-grade fever, or high fever, chills and other symptoms, and the course of the disease is generally 3 days to 7 days.
