Lead: Colds and fevers are very common diseases in autumn , due to the sudden cold and hot in the autumn, it will cause disorders of the body’s immune system, which will also increase the probability of colds. Therefore, it is very normal to catch a cold in autumn and have a fever.
However, severe colds and fevers will not only cause a runny nose, will also have some more severe coughs , when the cough enters the mouth, some phlegm will be brought into the mouth. Under normal circumstances, people spit out coughed up sputum into the trash can. But I want to remind everyone here that the color of sputum can also reflect the health of the body. If you cough up four colors of sputum, maybe you need to pay attention to lung problems. Let’s take a look. .
01
Is yellow phlegm hot, white phlegm?
It’s not certain that white sputum and yellow sputum are specifically cold syndrome or fever ,This can only be determined by looking at the actual situation of the individual. Some patients cough up yellow sputum when they get up in the morning. Yellow sputum of this color is often caused by holding the sputum in the body overnight. This is a very normal phenomenon.
But some people cough up sputum, although the color is yellow, but the texture is relatively thin, and there is no phenomenon such as redness and thirst on the tongue, so is not the case. Fever, it may be cold .
The same is true for white sputum. White sputum is not necessarily a cold syndrome. Although some sputum is very white in color, it has a thicker texture and is not easy to cough out of the body. , And there are also symptoms of red tongue, Then in this case, it is fever.
There is another situation, that is The length of time the sputum stays in the body also determines whether the patient is cold or fever.
There are some patients with fever, the reason why the color of sputum is white,It is because the frequency of coughing and expectoration is relatively fast, and the residence time of sputum in the body is relatively short.
So you must not directly judge the cold symptoms of the body based on the color of the sputum, whether it is cold or heat. still needs to be based on the patient's physique and the sputum in the body The specific conditions such as the length of stay can be determined. So what exactly do different colors of sputum represent? Let's take a look together today!
