Wind is often the first symptom of other illnesses, and sometimes the first stage of other illnesses is treated as wind, and in addition, wind can be followed by other illnesses. Although it is considered to be nothing more than a cold, but can indeed do a good job of treating a cold, in Chinese medicine that is a pretty good doctor. Chinese medicine has been rooted in folklore for thousands of years and has a wide audience, and many of its propositions are open, and people inside and outside the profession have the capital to speak. For example, the above-mentioned cold, probably anyone can say something like “boil a bowl of ginger water to drive away the wind and cold”; or even many times, drink a cup of hot water to cover the sweat, and often restored to health. This topic seems to be a big deal. However, this is not the case, we all have more or less “emergency room” experience, where the fever patients with ice packs and hanging bottles, in fact, still account for a significant proportion of it. The author of this small article, of course, does not help to reduce the burden of emergency medicine; but in the reader, perhaps also can increase a little knowledge, reduce a point of anxiety. Typhoid is often seen as a bad chill and fever, the thermometer measured 37.5 degrees Celsius or more, you know that the patient is feverish. But Chinese medicine for the determination of fever, not to the degree of Celsius as the standard; but more concerned about the patient’s own feelings: his heat sensation is high, may be hot evidence; heat sensation is not obvious or even no heat sensation, take a cool towel on the forehead, the patient feel uncomfortable, then this situation, often not cool medicine can be treated. Because of this, the author does not advocate that once the Celsius degree is high, get some Chinese medicine to clear the heat and detoxify the body and eat it: improper use of medicine may lead to fever that does not subside, or prolong the course of the disease and cough that does not heal. So how to determine the most common wind-cold or wind-heat? In short, the wind chill, often have more obvious body pain; this is from the Eastern Han Dynasty Zhang Zhongjing “Typhoid” in the ephedra soup, ephedra soup is the main formula of wind chill evidence, the symptoms of its adaptation is “headache, body pain, bone pain, no sweat and wheezing”; this season, warm cover sweat or onion and ginger water or eat serving ephedra soup, in short, to “sweating”. For people with normal constitution, ephedra soup is safe, as a joke, its price and taste is far better than the cold flush it. Feel wind-heat, often no body pain symptoms, but may appear more obvious “fire” symptoms such as sore throat, before the onset of the period, often anxious, stay up late, drink less water; think about it, is this the case. For this condition, you can choose herbal medicines to clear heat. As a patient, prescription medication flavored and practiced is appropriate to be preferred. In the case of the elderly and small children, the treatment should be handled with more caution; the former has atypical reactions, while the latter changes more quickly, so the family should not prescribe easily. A better practice is to ensure that the patient drinks enough water and excretes light urine, which at least suggests that there is no dehydration; at the same time, it can also bring out part of the heat for the purpose of cooling down.
