Cold with nasal voice, in most cases, does not require special treatment. A cold can cause symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, sore throat, and coughing. These symptoms can lead to a nasal voice in patients, and this condition usually does not require special treatment. If the symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion are particularly severe and affect the patient's daily life, some compound cold medicines can be used to alleviate the symptoms, such as compound cold medicines like Ammaminamide tablets. Additionally, for a heavy nasal voice due to a cold, it is also necessary to assess the patient's condition. If the patient has a lot of purulent nasal discharge and is accompanied by headaches, it is important to be alert to the possibility of sinusitis, which also needs to be treated. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

What should a baby eat when they have a cold?

During a cold, both babies and adults generally prefer liquid food over solid food. Babies who haven't started on solid food should drink as much milk as possible. For those who are beginning to eat solid foods, in addition to drinking more milk, you can also appropriately increase their intake of plain water and rice porridge. Older children, besides the aforementioned, can also appropriately consume some light soups and can increase their intake of fresh vegetables and fruits. These can be made into vegetable purees or juiced according to the baby's needs. Babies are more prone to dehydration when they have a cold or fever. To prevent dehydration or treat mild dehydration, fresh apple juice can be used as a substitute. For moderate or severe dehydration, seek medical attention promptly; the doctor will take necessary measures for rehydration.

How to treat colds and flu

Wind-cold common cold is often caused by the invasion of pathogenic wind-cold. Sometimes it can also occur due to fatigue, coupled with exposure to wind and chill, and it usually happens more often in autumn and winter. In fact, it may sometimes be accompanied by body aches, runny nose, nasal congestion, and cough with phlegm. If not treated timely, it might lead to infections such as acute sinusitis. If the condition is severe, it is best to visit a hospital for face-to-face consultation with a doctor for timely treatment to avoid delaying the illness. It is important to rest regularly, engage in more physical activities to boost the immune system, and get some sunlight to also enhance immunity. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, consuming less greasy and fried foods, abstaining from smoking and alcohol, and developing good dietary habits can effectively prevent such conditions.

How to differentiate between Wind-Cold Common Cold and Wind-Heat Common Cold

The differences between colds caused by wind-cold and those caused by wind-heat mainly lie in the symptoms. Colds caused by wind-cold are due to the invasion of wind-cold into the body, often as a result of exposure to cold environments. Common symptoms include chills, cold limbs, dizziness, fatigue, and coughing up white phlegm. On the other hand, colds caused by wind-heat occur due to the invasion of wind-heat, which frequently happens in the summer. Clinically, they are characterized by symptoms such as dark urine, coughing up pus-filled phlegm, high fever, headaches, and sore, swollen throat. Whether it is a cold caused by wind-cold or wind-heat, both can lead to related discomfort in the body and need active treatment and management to prevent the condition from worsening.

Precautions for Wind-Heat Colds

For individuals with wind-heat colds, it is important to avoid consuming overly hot or overly spicy foods, as well as overly cold foods. Care should also be taken not to overheat oneself; do not cover oneself with blankets to induce sweating, as this can exacerbate the condition. It is recommended that those suffering from wind-heat colds drink more plain water to help regulate the body, or consume honey water regularly, which can also effectively aid in regulation. Additionally, it is crucial to avoid eating overly hard foods, refrain from staying up late, and ensure ample sleep to aid in faster recovery and improvement.
