Why is it so hot, I always catch a cold and feel uncomfortable! Very headache! Pray for the great gods.

Colds occur all year round, and the cold in summer-colds-is particularly annoying. In the view of Chinese medicine, there are actually three kinds of colds, with different causes, symptoms, treatment and even diet. In this issue, authoritative experts in respiratory department of traditional Chinese medicine are invited to introduce relevant prevention and treatment knowledge, clarify misunderstandings and help everyone spend a happy and healthy summer. Beware of catching a cold in summer. If you have a cold, stay away from acid, oil and cold. What you eat after catching a cold in summer is very important, because it determines the speed of recovery. There are three kinds of food that can't be eaten: one is sour food such as dark plum and hawthorn. Due to poor appetite, many people like to eat foods with "appetizing" effects such as hawthorn and ebony, which is actually inappropriate. Because this kind of food is often sour and has astringent effect, it will affect the divergent effect of drugs or food for treating "cold" to a certain extent, especially in the early stage of cold. Second, fried foods and foods rich in animal and vegetable oils. Because this kind of food will also hinder the efficacy of "relieving exterior syndrome" drugs, it should be avoided during medication. Third, cold drinks. Some people think that cold drinks are perfect for patients with "hot colds", but in fact this kind of thinking has made the mistake of "reading the text to make up the meaning". Too cold food has the function of "convergence" and will also affect the efficacy of drugs or food. In fact, there are three kinds of "hot colds": fever, aversion to cold, stuffy nose and runny nose ... These cold symptoms will visit us once or more every year. A cold in summer is called "hot cold". Why do you catch a cold in hot weather? In this regard, the reporter interviewed Professor Chao from the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital of the Ministry of Health. Chao pointed out that "cold" is another name for cold in Chinese medicine, because it is mainly named after feeling wind evil. Especially when the climate is abrupt, the temperature is abnormal, and the human body's resistance is low, it is easy to happen. According to the comprehensive analysis of patients' symptoms, tongue picture and pulse condition, TCM divides colds into four types: wind-cold cold cold, wind-heat cold, summer-heat cold and physical deficiency cold. These four kinds of colds can all occur in summer, and the first three are the most common. Summer-dampness cold is a special type of cold, which only occurs in summer. Because summer-dampness is heavier, it is easy to invade the human body. The main features of symptoms are that most of summer-dampness has fever, persistent sweating, stuffy nose and sticky nose, accompanied by dizziness, severe swelling and pain, fatigue, anxiety and thirst, chest tightness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and diarrhea. Western medicine calls it "gastrointestinal cold". Chao Xiangen said that in order to avoid the heat, some hungry people often hide under air conditioners or eat too many iced drinks and food. As we all know, in summer, the pores of human skin are open and the ability to resist cold is weak. It is easy to catch a cold at this time and form a cold. The main symptoms of wind-cold cold are aversion to cold, mild fever and no sweat, accompanied by stuffy nose, sneezing, light nose, headache and joint pain in limbs. In addition, for some people with internal heat constitution of yin deficiency or yang hyperactivity, it is easier to feel warm wind or get sick due to weathering heat in summer, resulting in wind-heat cold, accompanied by high fever, mild aversion to cold, poor sweating, dry mouth and thirst, sore throat, thick phlegm and other symptoms. Finally, Xiang En reminded patients that "hot cold" should not be taken blindly, and they should recognize their own cold types and choose appropriate drugs. (Type first, then choose medicine) A cold often heals itself, and it is mainly treated by non-drug methods, including bed rest, ensuring adequate sleep, drinking plenty of water and eating lightly. Drug treatment generally aims at relieving symptoms and shortening the course of disease. Patients with mild symptoms can choose Chinese patent medicine for oral treatment. But first, we must distinguish the type of cold. Summer-dampness type is more common in summer, showing obvious digestive tract symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea and so on. Huoxiang Zhengqi or Gegen Qinlian Decoction is the first choice for treatment. Patients with exogenous wind-cold syndrome are obviously afraid of cold, so they can drink some ginger soup, or choose drugs such as Ganmao Qingre Granule to dispel wind-cold and relieve exterior syndrome by sweating. In addition to sneezing, patients with exogenous wind-heat syndrome mainly show symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat and yellow sticky nose. Yinqiao powder should be used to relieve exterior syndrome, clear away heat and detoxify. If you have a high fever after a cold, or cause severe cough symptoms, you must go to the hospital. Chronic cough caused by cold is difficult to treat and needs to be prevented in advance. In addition, if the symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea persist for a long time, it will cause water and electrolyte disorder and acid-base imbalance in the body, threatening life safety. Therefore, although the cold is small, it should not be underestimated. How to eat a summer cold through dietotherapy? In addition to common cold symptoms, there are internal heat phenomena such as thirst and upset, so people often call it "hot cold". Dietotherapy plays an important role in the adjuvant treatment of colds, but the choice of dietotherapy should also be based on the different symptoms of patients. Chinese medicine often divides "heat-induced cold" into wind-heat type, summer-heat type and wind-cold type in clinic. So how to eat these three different types of heat-induced cold? Typical symptoms of wind-heat type: severe fever, mild aversion to cold, dry throat and sore throat, even swelling and pain of throat and tonsil, stuffy nose or yellow nose, thirst, yellow and sticky phlegm, etc. Recommended diet: Yin Hua Douchi porridge: 9 grams of honeysuckle and 9 grams of Douchi, decocted in water to remove residues, added with 60 grams of japonica rice and appropriate amount of sugar, and boiled into porridge. 65438+ 0-2 times a day has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials and dispersing wind-heat and is very suitable for patients with wind-heat cold. Yin Hua mint beverage: Yin Hua 30g, mint10g, fresh reed rhizome 60g. First, add 500ml of water to Flos Lonicerae and Rhizoma Phragmitis, and boil for15min, then add Herba Menthae, and boil for 3min, then filter out, add appropriate amount of sugar, and take it warm 3-4 times a day. Suitable for people with wind-heat cold, fever, dry throat and thirst. Typical symptoms of wind-cold type: aversion to cold is heavier, fever is lighter, headache and joint pain are obvious, nasal congestion is heavier, runny nose is clear, mouth is not thirsty, phlegm is thin and white, sore throat is not obvious, or only itchy throat is seen. Recommended dietotherapy: coriander and onion drink: coriander 15g, onion (with root) 3 segments, washed, added with appropriate amount of water, boiled and boiled for 5 minutes. Suitable for early patients with heat-induced cold syndrome, because onion and coriander have sweating effect, and those who sweat more are not suitable for eating. Tofu, Douchi and Onion Soup: 250g of tofu is cut into pieces, and washed with light Douchi 12g. Put them in a casserole with 15g scallion, add water to boil, simmer for 5 minutes, and serve while it is hot. It can dispel cold outside and clear away heat and toxic materials inside. It is very suitable for people who are mainly upset, dry mouth and sore throat. Typical symptoms of summer-heat dampness type: dizziness, polydipsia, vomiting or diarrhea, loss of appetite, accompanied by fever, aversion to cold, headache or general pain. Recommended dietotherapy prescription: Biandouhua Huoxiang drink: 20 grams of Biandouhua, 0/2 grams of Pogostemon 10 grams of honeysuckle, and appropriate amount of sugar. Wash tofu, agastache rugosa and honeysuckle, add water, and taste with white sugar before drinking. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that tofu has a good effect of invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness, while Pogostemon has the effects of eliminating dampness, stopping vomiting and relieving summer heat. Compatibility with honeysuckle which can clear away heat and toxic materials and dispel wind-heat can play a good role in eliminating dampness and relieving exterior syndrome. Pogostemon cablin leaf porridge: 20 grams of fresh Pogostemon cablin leaves, decocted in water for later use. First, use100g of japonica rice to cook porridge, add the fried Pogostemon, and boil it to get Pogostemon porridge twice a day. Has the effects of invigorating spleen, eliminating dampness and relieving exterior syndrome. In summer, with the approach of summer, the cold and heat have to hide. Cold has become a big enemy that plagues us. Although it is not a refractory disease, it will also bring discomfort to our bodies and inconvenience to our life and work. If you want to stay away from the harassment of colds, you need to start by paying attention to the sections in your life. Improving the body's resistance is the key to preventing diseases. Usually pay attention to more rest, moderate work and rest, regular life, and ensure adequate sleep; Strengthen physical exercise and choose swimming, walking and other sports methods in summer; Avoid impatience and keep a good mood. Keep the indoor air circulating, and often open the window for ventilation. Avoid sudden entry into air-conditioned rooms with low room temperature. In fact, after sweating a lot, the human body's ability to resist the cold is greatly weakened. If you feel the cold stimulation at this time, it is easy to catch a cold. In summer, people often ignore the importance of keeping warm. For women who work in air-conditioned environment for a long time, it is necessary to prepare a coat, preferably wearing pants or stockings to avoid catching cold. Pay special attention to your diet. When the weather is hot in summer, the human body will consume a lot of water, so be sure to drink more water, preferably light salt water; Diet should be light, eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and avoid greasy, spicy and cold foods; Mung bean porridge and lotus seed porridge are often cooked at home, which can prevent heatstroke and cool down. Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash your hands and bathe frequently, and go to crowded places less. Fruits and vegetables must be washed before eating. In addition, when the sun is strong and the temperature is high at noon, outdoor activities should be reduced as much as possible, and umbrellas should be used when going out to avoid wind-heat colds caused by summer heat.
