According to Chinese medicine, colds can be caused by external influenza, such as wind-cold, wind-heat, summer-dampness colds, or by physical deficiency, such as yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency, etc., and should be treated according to the symptoms. If the wind-cold cold manifests itself in the form of severe cold, mild fever, headache, limb pain, nasal congestion, etc., it should be regulated by taking Thorns and Poisons under the guidance of a doctor, which can help to relieve the symptoms and dispel cold. Wind-heat colds are characterized by mild cold, or slight wind, fever, head swelling and pain, etc. The principle of treatment is to relieve the symptoms of cold, promote the lungs and clear away heat, and the commonly used formula is Yin Qiao San. Patients with summer-dampness cold will have fever, slight malignant wind, low sweat, and sweaty fever that does not go away, etc. They can take Elshotria Xinjia drink to regulate the symptoms, which can relieve the symptoms of summer heat and dampness and aromatize the dampness. The adverse reactions and contraindications of the above formula are not clear. For patients with colds, if they want to take Chinese medicine treatment, they should go to regular hospitals for diagnosis and treatment, and avoid self-medication to avoid delaying the condition.
