Are colds caused by cold or viruses?

Colds are caused by a variety of viruses. But our common sense is that if you catch a cold, you will catch a cold, and there is a reason for this.

Cold and cold will lead to a decrease in the body's immunity, and cold viruses are almost everywhere, and whoever has low resistance is sick, so there are more people who catch colds in winter than in summer. But the immune system can't be blamed, we can only wear a little more. Biological instinct is very, very intelligent, when in a low temperature, many of the body's functions will decline, reduce consumption to survive longer, in case you freeze to death.

Many people think, "I'll just blow the cold wind for a while, it's fine", "I'll go downstairs to pick up a courier, it's okay to wear less", and the body doesn't know how long you will blow the cold wind and how long you will be frozen, so storing energy consumption and reducing performance is the safest way for it. Finally, remember these two points: colds are caused by viruses, you don't need to take antibiotics when you have a cold, just take cold medicine, and you must pay attention to keeping warm when you have a mild cold.

Try to keep yourself as little as possible, all the time. <>

The theory of TCM is not partly possible, because although TCM also deals with virus-related diseases, the TCM theory itself does not have the concept of "virus". Needless to say, the standard statement in various medical textbooks is that the vast majority of upper respiratory tract infections are caused by various viruses (not even bacteria). For example, if the indoor air is not well circulated, the concentration of pathogens in the room is too large, which can cause disease, which is prone to occur in winter because the indoor ventilation conditions are better in the summer.

This is due to an increase in pathogens caused by reduced ventilation due to the cold. In addition, people spend a lot of time indoors in winter, and the concentration of pathogens will also increase. My life experience is similar, many times I wear a lot of clothes, run to the door of the big classroom, it is hotter inside, and I feel that I have upper respiratory symptoms after a while.

It may be because there are a lot of people who are impermeable indoors in winter, and many people may have more inflammatory factors in the body after the virus is infected, and the body temperature may also rise, and when the body temperature is raised, they will feel chills and shiver. This is indeed not caused by the cold outside environment, but by the increase in one's own body temperature. In other words, with the same ambient temperature, if I am healthy, I will not feel cold, but if I have a cold, because the body temperature will rise, I will shiver and produce heat and feel cold.

Therefore, if a person traces the cause of a cold after catching a cold, he may indeed think that the cold caused the cold, but the real situation is that he feels chills because of the cold. People's own attributions can reverse cause and effect. It's entirely possible.

As for whether cold is the cause of viral infection, although domestic medical textbooks are all written like this, I have not read any strict arguments, so I don't know. What is certain is that if there is no virus, no matter how cold it is, people will not get colds, and they may get other non-infectious diseases. <>

Exposure to the cold reduces immunity (less energy is allocated to the immune system), and a lower body temperature makes the internal environment more suitable for viruses and bacteria, and viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms re-infect, eventually leading to colds. For colds, the main causative agent is viruses (70%), and bacteria (30%). The main reason why colds are due to cold is reduced immunity rather than the predominance of viruses.

Taking rhinovirus as an example, rhinovirus can be found in the respiratory tract of 20% of people, but 20% of people have a cold every day, and rhinovirus replicates more efficiently at lower temperatures (33). Knocking out some genes associated with the immune response increases the replication efficiency of rhinovirus at normal body temperature (37). RIG-I-like receptors and the interferon R pathway – more active at 37 degrees Celsius than at 33 degrees Celsius.

So the combined evidence shows that temperature affects the immune system rather than the virus itself, in the case of rhinovirus. <>

I use logic to prove that colds are not caused by viruses.

Winters are cold, and the number of people with colds has increased dramatically. The low number of people who catch colds in the summer proves that colds are caused by cold. Some people say that the number of people who catch colds in winter is caused by the sharp increase in viruses in winter.

Again, logic proves this wrong. If the cold climate can cause the virus to multiply, then the virus incubator in the hospital should be a refrigerator freezer at minus 20 degrees, when in fact, the virus incubator is minus 30 to 40 degrees. And this temperature happens to be the temperature of summer, in summer, the whole country is 30-40 degrees, which is equivalent to a huge natural virus incubator, the number of viruses increases sharply compared with winter, and colds do not increase but decrease, proving that colds have nothing to do with viruses, only related to cold.

Most of the colds in the summer are frozen by air conditioning or cold water from showers.

In addition, let's use the reverse extrapolation method.

If you say it's a cold caused by a virus, why can't you cure a cold with antiviral medicine?

Traditional Chinese medicine says that colds are caused by cold, and drinking a bowl of ginger soup to sweat and catch a cold proves that he is right.

Whoever can cure the disease is whose theory is correct.

Ginger soup is used for mild colds, and it is used for severe colds"Ephedra soup":( ephedra, almonds, cinnamon sticks, boiled licorice. A dose of medicine**.

Two hours after drinking the medicine, all kinds of cold symptoms disappeared. I have used this method to treat relatives and friends dozens of times, and all of them have been successful without exception. Please take the medicine under the guidance of a TCM practitioner.

There are many kinds of colds, depending on what symptoms you have, prescribe the right medicine, and you can't eat indiscriminately, for example, colds are divided into wind-heat colds, wind-cold colds, and seasonal colds, and finally viral colds, wind-cold colds 1Runny nose, sneezing, nasal voice, severe headache, wind-heat cold, runny nose, sore throat, headache, viral cold, the most important thing is high fever, lack of energy, soreness, headache, sore throat, <>

It's easy to catch a cold when it's cold, and it's easy to catch a cold when you warm up, and you can't go wrong. The virus should be taken away from cold days. Viruses are the same as bacteria, and the temperature and humidity should be appropriate for viruses to multiply and spread. Viruses never thrive in the cold and do not survive above 40.

What is a wind chill cold? A cold after a body cold is a wind-chill cold, which is different from a viral cold.

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.

1. Viral infection is an acute upper respiratory tract infectious disease caused by a virus, including the common cold, epidemic infection, viral angina, etc. It is mainly transmitted through the nose through air, droplets, or hand contact. Epidemic is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza disease, and the virus is present in the respiratory tract of patients.

It is transmitted by droplets when the patient coughs or sneezes. Due to its strong contagiousness and rapid transmission speed, the Kongzheng section is difficult to control and can easily cause an explosive epidemic.

2 The common cold is caused by rhinovirus, coronavirus and parainfluenza virus, which are present in the respiratory tract of patients and transmitted to others through droplets. The common cold is epidemic** The contagiousness is much weaker, and it is generally easy to get sick after being cold, rainy, and fatigued, so that it is easy to get sick. Epidemic ** outbreak is generally caused by influenza A and influenza B, and influenza is very contagious, so it generally appears in batches, and even causes an outbreak epidemic.

3. The main manifestations of the virus are sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, dry throat, sore throat, cough, hoarseness and other symptoms, and the whole body manifests headache, body aches and fatigue, with or without fever and other symptoms, and the transmission route is generally through sneezing, droplets, saliva, coughing, and talking to spread the virus into the air to infect others. Healthy people can also get sick from the virus due to the use of the patient's hair, basins, utensils, etc.

4. The main pathogen of the virus is the virus, and the virus has self-limiting characteristics, so the general common cold, the symptoms are mild, and you don't need to take medicine, as long as you rest more, drink more water, strengthen nutrition, pay attention to ventilation, and can also heal yourself, and the course of the disease is generally five to seven days. If the symptoms are more severe, the common cold and epidemic**, take antiviral** as soon as possible to shorten the course of the disease and reduce symptoms such as general malaise.

As long as you have not been exposed to the virus, you will not catch a cold even if you are frozen. Among those who receive the virus, if they catch a cold, they are twice as likely to catch a cold as if they do not.

Colds are divided into epidemic and virus, and being cold is epidemic.

When the resistance is reduced, the virus is most likely to invade.

There are many factors that can cause a cold, and most of them can cause a cold.

When you get cold, your resistance decreases, so that the virus can easily invade.

When you get cold, your resistance decreases, and the virus goes in.

Colds have viruses and colds.

Colds can also be caused by wind chills.

How do colds come about, why do people catch colds, autoimmunity.

As long as you have not been exposed to the virus, you will not catch a cold even if you are frozen.
