There are many kinds of medicines used to treat colds. Chinese medicine classifies colds into four types: wind-cold colds, wind-heat colds, summer-damp colds and seasonal colds (influenza). According to the principles of evidence-based treatment, different types of colds should be treated with different herbal medicines. In addition to general symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing and headache, patients also have cold, low fever, no sweating, muscle pain, runny nose, thin white sputum, red and painful throat, no thirst or thirst for hot drinks, thin white coating, etc. They usually have to wear a lot of clothes or cover with a big blanket to feel more comfortable. This kind of cold is related to the patient’s feeling of wind and cold. Treatment should be based on the principle of pungent warmth to relieve the symptoms. Under the guidance of the doctor, the patient can use cold and flu flush, cold and fever flush, Jiu Wei Qiang Wu Wan, Tong Xuan Li Lung Pill, Wu Shi Cha granules and other drugs. If the patient also has the symptom of internal heat and constipation, he can take Feng Feng Tong Sheng Wan for treatment. Patients with wind-cold colds should not use drugs such as Sang Ju Cold Tablets, Yin Qiao Detoxification Tablets, Antelope Qiao Detoxification Tablets and Compound Cold Tablets. The key to treating wind-cold colds is to sweat a little (called pungent warmth to relieve the symptoms in Chinese medicine), and there are many ways to do this, including sauna, soaking feet in hot water (preferably with some wine), covering with two layers of blankets, drinking ginger sugar water, and then drinking ginger porridge, etc. 2, wind-heat type cold The patient has the general symptoms of cold such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, headache, etc., but also features such as heavy fever, thick yellow phlegm, sore throat, usually painful before the cold symptoms, phlegm usually yellow or blackish, constipation. Treatment should be based on the principle of pungent cooling and relieving the symptoms. According to the condition, the patient can be treated with anti-viral oral liquid, cold and fever reducing punch, Banlangen punch, Yin Qiao Detoxification Pill, Antelope Detoxification Pill, etc. If the symptoms are heavy, Chinese medicine experts can prescribe some soup or punch with better effect. 3.Summer dampness type cold Patients show symptoms such as chill, fever, light and tasteless mouth, headache, head swelling, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Patients can use Huo Xiang Zheng Qi water or capsules, Yin Qiao Jie Po Wan and other drugs for treatment or take Chinese medicine soup for regulation. 4. Seasonal cold (influenza) The patient’s symptoms are similar to those of wind-heat cold. However, patients with seasonal colds have heavier symptoms than patients with wind-heat colds. Patients may show symptoms such as sudden chills, high fever, headache, chills, chills, severe headache, generalized aches and pains, fatigue, nasal congestion, runny nose, dry cough, chest pain, nausea, loss of appetite, and symptoms such as pneumonia or heart failure may be complicated in infants and children or the elderly.
