Examination may reveal swollen tonsils, congestion in the pharynx, thin yellow or thick yellow tongue coating, red tongue, and a floating and rapid pulse. An old Chinese doctor summarized the typical symptoms of wind-heat cold as "three yellows": yellow and thick nasal discharge, yellow and thick sputum, and yellow tongue coating.
