Winter colds may cause symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion or sore throat, cough or high fever, and coughing up purulent sputum. The symptoms of colds vary throughout the year. Seasonal colds refer to wind-chill colds in spring and autumn, and wind-heat colds in summer and winter. Viral colds are more common in spring and autumn, bacterial colds are more common in summer, and colds with atypical pathogens are more common in winter. Symptoms of colds in spring and autumn include runny nose, watery eyes, dizziness, headache, sneezing, etc. Symptoms of summer colds include fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc. It is recommended that patients drink more boiled water, pay attention to rest, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits during a cold.
First, in winter, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate qi and blood and regulate the body's immunity. As long as the patient's physical condition is improved through traditional Chinese medicine, the patient will be less likely to catch a cold. This is a common clinical method.
Second, patients who are often prone to colds are advised to choose cold medicines such as cold granules or cold capsules for prevention. Once there are signs of a cold, you should take these medicines immediately, which is very effective in preventing colds.
Third, Chinese medicine believes that most colds are related to inner emotions. If the inner emotional pressure is high and the body's immune system is low, it is easy to be infected by bacterial viruses, resulting in colds. At this time, you must adjust your mood and let your body be healthy and properly rested, so that you will not have cold problems.
Fourth, traditional Chinese medicine believes that exercise is the foundation of people’s lives, so long-term exercise can improve the body’s immunity. This improvement in resistance is the best way to prevent colds.
Although traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more effective in treating diseases, to prevent colds in winter, traditional Chinese medicine should focus on nourishing qi, blood and strengthening yang, and choose appropriate drugs for treatment, such as licorice, lily, Ganoderma , longan, Codonopsis pilosula and other types of medicines are often used to prevent colds. In addition to using traditional Chinese medicine, other methods need to be considered. For example, colds can be improved through a reasonable diet. Many patients drink ginger soup before catching a cold. Ginger soup is a good way to prevent colds.
Based on years of clinical experience, we believe that the occurrence of colds is caused by low immunity of the body. If immunity can be improved through traditional Chinese medicine, colds will not occur frequently. Of course, taking traditional Chinese medicine depends on the method, so in the process of preventing colds, in addition to traditional Chinese medicine, we should also learn about other prevention methods. This is very important for patients. Let’s focus on the treatment of colds. As a common cold medicine, is Lianhua Qingwen Capsule effective in treating and preventing colds?
Cold patients in winter can take Lianhua Qingwen Capsules. It is a Chinese patent medicine whose main ingredients are Forsythia , honeysuckle, fried bitter almonds, gypsum, Isatis , Houttuynia cordata , etc. It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and is mainly used to treat influenza or common cold caused by heat and poison attacking the lungs. Especially when cold patients are accompanied by fever, body muscle aches, nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing and other symptoms, they can take it according to the doctor's advice.
Lianhua Qingwen has a good effect on a series of upper respiratory tract infection symptoms caused by viral infection, especially systemic inflammatory response and local respiratory symptoms. For colds caused by viral infections, if there are no accurate antiviral drugs, especially when the antiviral efficacy is uncertain, the use of Lianhua Qingwen Capsules can not only alleviate the clinical symptoms caused by viral infections and reduce the patient's pain, but also shorten the course of the disease and avoid mixing other infections during the viral infection process, resulting in the occurrence of various complications.
