Cold is commonly known as typhoid, the highest incidence in winter and spring, the ancestral medicine belongs to the category of typhoid, warm disease, modern medicine will be divided into two types of colds, namely the common cold and influenza. Difference: a. The pathogens are different: common cold caused by viruses; influenza can be caused by bacteria, can also be caused by viruses. Second, the clinical manifestations are different: the common cold is mainly manifested in heavy local symptoms, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, coughing, spitting, etc., and light systemic symptoms; influenza is mainly manifested in heavy systemic symptoms, such as high fever, depression, body aches, weakness, loss of appetite, etc.. Some patients have some misunderstandings in the understanding and treatment of colds, often on their own, do not pay attention to scientific prevention and treatment, mainly: a. Ignore the traditional drugs: some traditional drugs such as compound aspirin, antelope antitoxin tablets, silver antitoxin tablets, mulberry cold tablets, etc., after a long period of clinical use has proved that the effect is indeed, and economic. There is a common saying in the past, cold and fever, aspirin a packet, which illustrates this problem, which is the experience of long-term clinical practice. Compound aspirin can also prevent deficiency due to excessive sweating, is a clinically effective common antipyretic, but often forgotten by most people and abandoned, patients tend to choose what they think is the best new drugs. But now there are a variety of new treatment cold medicine, called dazzling, not to mention the patient, that is, the doctor can not remember so many treatment cold medicine, in fact, many of the so-called new drugs, good medicine is just a change of packaging and name, but the price is considerable. Second, incorrect antipyretic: after the cold, the body has some fever is a normal phenomenon, is a normal physiological reaction when the body is violated, moderate fever is beneficial to the body’s recovery, should not be excessive antipyretic, patients often ignore this, of course, when the body temperature is too high for the body is not good, should be appropriate cooling. Generally speaking, as long as the body temperature does not exceed 38,5, it can be completely free of cooling. Some people, in order to cool down, regardless of whether the body temperature is suitable for cooling, all use antipyretic drugs, and in order to reduce fever as soon as possible, will use hormones to let the body temperature quickly drop to normal, so that although the body temperature down to normal, on the one hand, make people feel uncomfortable, on the other hand, will make the body’s immunity is weakened. Third, the abuse of antibiotics: in order to pursue faster recovery, patients will often request the use of antibiotics intravenous administration. And will not choose indiscriminately, do not look at the body has no inflammation, but also regardless of the pharmacological effects of drugs, just to use this and that, resulting in the abuse of antibiotics, doctors in order to cater to the psychology of patients, not to find trouble for themselves, but also often do not stop and guide, the result is not only the patient more money, but also for the future application of antibiotics laid the source of the disaster. Fourth, ignore the importance of non-drug treatment: do not pay attention to the body’s resistance to cultivate, completely put their hopes on drug treatment, in fact, non-drug treatment measures are extremely important, even if the drug effect is good, do not pay attention to the cultivation and mobilization of the body’s resistance, ignore the way of health, the cold is also not cured, even if a moment to reduce, will be repeated, that is, the so-called ” return wind”. Therefore, warmth, rest, nutrition is indispensable for the treatment of colds very important measures. Fifth, do not pay attention to prevention: the occurrence of the cold also has its specificity, regularity, in general, often physical exercise people rarely suffer from the cold, pay attention to the protection of people also rarely suffer from the cold, life, work regular people also rarely suffer from the cold, and weak, suffering from chronic diseases, do not exercise, in pursuit of fashionable thin dress people suffer from the cold rate is higher, in addition, fatigue, hunger, rain, cold, stay up late In addition, people who are fatigued, hungry, in the rain, cold, staying up all night, poor rest are prone to colds. As the saying goes, “Prevention of all diseases is the first thing.” It is possible to prevent the occurrence of colds by exercising scientifically, enhancing physical fitness, paying attention to the way of health, living and working regularly, increasing and decreasing clothes according to the seasons and weather changes, and improving the overall and respiratory mucous membrane resistance to diseases. In fact, the cold has its certain occurrence and development rules, is a self-limiting disease, if no complications occur, pay attention to warmth, rest, nutrition, without treatment, can also be cured within a few days, and will produce a certain immunity, understand this feature, will no longer worry about the treatment of the cold. Since the virus is residing in the cells of the human body, there is no really effective medicine that can work on it, no matter what medicine is used, it cannot shorten the course of the disease, nor can it fundamentally relieve the pain, the treatment is basically allopathic, most patients choose the so-called treatment of cold medicine is purely a placebo, at best, can only relieve the symptoms, and can not really relieve the pain, the correct treatment measures should The correct treatment measures should include two aspects: a. Non-medication measures: mainly rest, warmth, nutrition, drink more hot water. Second, drug treatment measures: drug treatment is an auxiliary measure, there are Chinese medicine treatment and western medicine treatment. Western medicine treatment includes relieving high fever with antipyretic and analgesic drugs to eliminate the adverse effects on the body, symptomatic treatment; use some antibiotics as appropriate if inflammation occurs in the body. Chinese medicine has accumulated a wealth of experience in the effective treatment of colds, as long as the correct dialectical treatment, you can quickly receive results and shorten the course of the disease, so you need to be diagnosed by a doctor and medication, although slightly troublesome, but fast results, spend less money, economic, safe, affordable, compared to the use of Western medicine to benefit more, is the preferred method of treatment of colds, should be more advocate of Chinese medicine for colds. In addition, a large number of folk have accumulated a single prescription is also effective, is also worth promoting the application.
