The symptoms of wind-cold type cold mainly include the following aspects:
1. Patients experience significant aversion to cold, which remains difficult to relieve even in a warm indoor environment or after adding more clothing.
2. Headache and generalized body aches are also common; patients may feel overall discomfort and muscle soreness.
3. Wind-cold cold is often accompanied by clear, watery nasal discharge, which is an important distinguishing feature from wind-heat cold.
4. Patients may develop an itchy throat or cough, with hoarseness and increasing throat discomfort.
5. The tongue coating in patients with wind-cold cold may appear pale or white, and the pulse may be floating and tight.
Taken together, these symptoms can lead to a preliminary diagnosis of wind-cold cold. In treatment, appropriate medications should be selected based on symptoms, and patients should ensure adequate rest and increased fluid intake to promote recovery.
