What are the symptoms of cold-dampness?

1. Internal retention of cold-dampness: Commonly seen in individuals with spleen and stomach deficiency, this condition mainly manifests as digestive symptoms such as abdominal distension, diarrhea, poor appetite, and loose stools. It is also accompanied by systemic symptoms including limb aching, fatigue, and a white, greasy tongue coating. 2. External contraction of cold-dampness: Often occurs during cold and damp seasons, or may be caused by improper clothing or exposure to cold. It presents with common cold symptoms such as headache, body aches, aversion to cold, fever, nasal congestion, and runny nose, along with systemic manifestations like limb soreness and a white, greasy tongue coating. 3. Combined cold and dampness: Frequently observed in patients with chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or chronic gastritis. The main symptoms include joint pain, muscle soreness, epigastric pain, and abdominal distension, accompanied by systemic signs such as fatigue and a white, greasy tongue coating.
