To clarify whether the type of cough is wind-cold or wind-heat, the main differences are as follows: wind-cold cough is mainly fear of cold, heavy cough, clear runny nose, and thin white sputum; wind-heat cough is thick yellow sputum, yellow runny nose, thirst, and hot and sore throat. The recommended syrups for wind-cold cough are mainly Han Xia Cough Syrup, Apricot and Su Cough Syrup, and Honey Refined Chuan Bei Loquat Paste, etc. These cough syrups are mainly for wind-cold cough, such as Han Xia, Almond and Perilla, which are all pungent and warm herbs that can dispel wind and dispel cold to stop coughing, so they are more suitable for the treatment of wind-cold cough. However, cough is not a single symptom, so in addition to cough syrup, you can also take medicines for wind and cold together to facilitate the recovery of the overall symptoms, and after taking cough syrup on your own for a few days, if there is no significant improvement in symptoms you must seek medical attention in time to prevent the cough from worsening and inflammation from deepening.
