Does wind-heat感冒 cause clear nasal discharge?
Disease description:
I've had a bit of cough and clear nasal discharge these past couple of days. A friend said I have wind-heat感冒 (a TCM term for one type of common cold), but I'm not quite convinced. Could wind-heat感冒 really cause clear nasal discharge?
Wind-heat感冒 typically presents with clear nasal discharge. Wind-heat感冒 is a type of common cold primarily caused by wind-heat pathogenic factors invading the body, leading to various discomfort symptoms in patients. Clear nasal discharge commonly occurs in the early stage of wind-heat感冒. As the condition progresses, yellow, thick, or purulent nasal discharge may develop. Therefore, clear nasal discharge is usually observed in wind-heat感冒. Patients are advised to promptly follow medical guidance for medication treatment to prevent worsening of the condition.
