Wind-cold colds often occur in cold seasons, such as winter, late autumn and early spring, and are caused by the cold evil.

Treatment of wind-cold cold and wind-heat cold

Since babies often cannot accurately describe their feelings, doctors need to make a judgment based on the baby's onset season, duration of illness, and physical examination. If you catch a cold in winter, it is more likely to be a cold caused by wind and cold; if you catch a cold in warm seasons, it is more likely to be a cold caused by wind and heat.

This is not absolute, because even if the baby is affected by cold evil, different types of colds will often appear due to different baby constitutions. People with a weak and cold constitution often suffer from wind-cold colds when they are attacked by cold evil, while people with a yin-deficient and internal-heat constitution may suffer from wind-heat colds when they are attacked by cold evil.

Now, everyone can better understand the treatment methods and identification methods of children's colds, wind-colds and wind-heat. It is necessary to use the correct identification methods to make correct treatment plans, which will help children's colds to recover. Of course, you should pay attention to keeping your baby warm at ordinary times to avoid catching a cold.
