Children are susceptible to colds because their resistance is weak. There are different types of colds, so it is important for parents to have more knowledge about them. A cold is caused by a cold, which is commonly known as a “cold”. Windy-fever colds are caused by fire and are commonly referred to as “hot colds”. Wind-cold colds mainly occur in the cold season, mostly in winter, late autumn and early spring, and are mainly caused by catching a cold. Specific symptoms include aching limbs, headache, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, thin sputum, and possible redness of the throat. Wind-heat colds are common in warm seasons, such as spring, summer and early autumn, with symptoms such as headache, sweating, nasal congestion, thirst, thin and yellow tongue coating, sticky sputum and sore throat. Cold is a very common symptom in children and should be taken seriously in both wind-cold and wind-heat colds. Wind-heat and wind-cold colds also tend to occur alternately or sequentially during a single illness. To avoid a single visit to a cold, you should specifically analyze the performance of your child’s cold, select the appropriate treatment according to your child’s symptoms, and go to the hospital promptly when the cold is serious.
