Spring is the time of respiratory diseases, the body is weakened by a long and protracted winter and is prone to various infections. One of the most common diseases of our time, especially among children, is acute and chronic tonsillitis, which is an inflammation of the palatine and pharyngeal tonsils. The disease is manifested by pain and swelling of the throat, high fever, cough, runny nose, nausea, heart problems, pain in the ears and teeth. Very often, tonsillitis is accompanied by purulent plugs, which not only cause pain, but also cause bad breath.
Chinese medicine categorizes tonsillitis 乳蛾 en e zhu e. The main pathogenesis of tonsillitis is associated with the lungs, since the disease is based on the invasion of external pathogenic factors through the skin, and the main function of the lungs is to control the skin and hair on the body, so the possibility of invasion of pathogenic factors depends precisely on the weakened function of the lungs.
The second most common pathogenesis of tonsillitis is associated with the stomach, since in Chinese medicine the concept of the throat 喉咽 hou yan consists of hieroglyphs 喉 hou, which correlates with the Qi of Heaven, governs the breath and is a manifestation of the lungs; and hieroglyph 咽 yan , which correlates with the qi of the earth, governs food and liquid, and is a manifestation of the stomach.
Chinese medicine distinguishes six main types of tonsillitis:
- Wind and heat in the lung canal: characterized by increased body temperature, chills, sore throat, cough, white or yellow coating on the tongue, rapid pulse.
- Heat of the stomach and lungs: characterized by increased body temperature, chills, severe sore throat, pain when swallowing, dry mouth with a preference for large amounts of water, bad breath, constipation, red tongue, thick yellow coating, increased rapid pulse.
- Endogenous accumulation of heat toxins: characterized by a very high unrelenting body temperature, greatly enlarged tonsils, accompanied by pain in the ears, sore throat when swallowing, red body of the tongue with a yellow coating, rapid pulse.
- Hyperactivity of asthenic fire: characterized by dryness of the mouth and throat, sensation of a foreign object in the throat, dry cough, sensation of heat in the five centers (palms, feet, heart area), shortness of breath, pain and numbness in the lower back, slight or no plaque on the tongue, red color of the body of the tongue , thin rapid pulse.
- Deficiency of kidney and spleen qi: characterized by dryness and itching in the throat, weak cough, a small amount of viscous sputum, sweating of the head during sleep, a bright red color of the throat, purulent plugs, a light red color of the tongue with a small amount of plaque, a thin and rapid pulse.

Chronic tonsillitis - inflammation of the palatine tonsils; sick both adults and children.
Causes of chronic tonsillitis
The reason is repeated tonsillitis, less often other acute infectious diseases (scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria). The development of chronic tonsillitis is promoted by a persistent violation of nasal breathing (adenoids, deviated nasal septum), diseases of the paranasal sinuses, carious teeth, alveolar pyorrhea, chronic catarrhal pharyngitis, chronic rhinitis. According to the currently accepted classification of Soldatov, chronic tonsillitis is divided into compensated and decompensated.
Symptoms, course. Feeling of itching, soreness, foreign body in the throat in the area of the tonsils, bad breath, coughing up the so-called plugs - caseous masses that form in the lacunae of the tonsils, a slight recurring pain when swallowing, sometimes radiating to the ear. Often, the disease is accompanied by prolonged (for several weeks or even months) low-grade fever, decreased performance, headache, and sometimes coughing attacks of reflex origin. Some patients with chronic tonsillitis do not show any complaints.
Complications are not uncommon: damage to the heart, joints, general weakness, sweating. Perhaps the development of rheumatism, nephritis.
With pharyngoscopy - signs of a chronic inflammatory process: the palatine tonsils are loosened, cicatricially changed, fused with the palatine arches, the surface of the tonsils is uneven (bumpy), the lacunae are expanded. With light pressure with a spatula on the area of the tonsil, “plugs” stand out from the lacunae or pus often drains with an unpleasant odor. The mucous membrane of the anterior palatine arches is hyperemic, especially their free edge. Regional lymph nodes are often enlarged and somewhat painful on palpation. Large tonsils are not always a sign of chronic tonsillitis (in children this is physiological); on the contrary, chronic inflammatory changes often develop in small (hidden) tonsils. Chronic tonsillitis should be differentiated from pharyngromicosis.
The treatment is conservative, carried out mainly in uncomplicated forms of chronic tonsillitis: the tonsils are systematically washed with disinfectant solutions (furatsilin 1:5000, penicillin 1:10,000 units, ethacridine lactate 1:5000, etc.) followed by lubrication of the tonsil lacunae with Lugol's solution. Washing can be combined with physiotherapy: ultraviolet irradiation through a special tube (suberythemal dose), UHF currents on the region of regional lymph nodes. If necessary, such a course of treatment (12-15 washes) is repeated after 2-4 months. In the absence of effect, as well as in complicated forms of chronic tonsillitis, the palatine tonsils are removed (tonsillectomy). If there are contraindications to the operation, cryotherapy is applied to the tissue of the palatine tonsils. Relative contraindications to tonsillectomy: tuberculosis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, etc., in each case, the otorhinolaryngologist discusses them with the therapist. The operation should be performed no earlier than 3 weeks after suffering a sore throat. The most common complications of the operation include bleeding and exacerbation of diseases associated with the pathology of the palatine tonsils.
Prevention. Persons who often suffer from angina (especially children) should be registered with the dispensary. Sanitation of the oral cavity, paranasal sinuses, restoration of free breathing through the nose, hardening of the body, improvement of working and living conditions are shown. To prevent complications, such as rheumatism, diseases of the kidneys, heart, etc., it is necessary to eliminate the focus of chronic inflammation.
Treatment of tonsillitis with the methods of oriental medicine
Traditional Tibetan or Chinese herbal medicine for tonsillitis
Spang.rgyan.bco.lnga (Pangen 15, sPANG.rGYAN15 - GENTIANA 15).
Acupuncture for tonsillitis
Su-Jok therapy for tonsillitis
Su-Jok therapy, using the principle of "similarity", allows you to influence a diseased organ, part of the body, a meridian, a point and even a chakra! It's kind of subspecies of reflexology, often allowing for a therapeutic effect without interrupting the patient from solving his own daily tasks.
We strongly recommend that you try to use some of the principles of Su-Jok therapy on your own (of course, it is better after consulting a specialist). Currently, a huge amount of literature on the Su-Jok system for "non-medical" has been released, where recommendations are given in a simple and accessible form for the treatment of a number of pathological conditions. Recommended source: books published by the Su-Jok Academy of Moscow (Twist for everyone, Thumb - head, Yoga of a smile, etc.).
Massage and manual therapy for tonsillitis
Hirudotherapy for tonsillitis
Vacuum therapy for tonsillitis
Methods of active vacuum therapy (cupping massage) can further enhance the drainage of soft tissues, cause local vasodilation, positively affect the condition of skin pores and sebum secretion.
Carrying out vacuum procedures in the projection of any part of the spine helps to reduce local fat deposits, which has a positive effect on the range of motion of the corresponding segment, which, in turn, improves metabolic processes and reduces local congestion.
The methods of passive vacuum therapy, in addition to all of the above, make it possible to painlessly form scattered subcutaneous hematomas, which effectively replaces the immunomodulating effect of the good old autohemotransfusion.
Stone therapy for tonsillitis
The use of hot and cold stones has the effect of "gymnastics" for the vessels. Massage with the use of stones is easier for the massage therapist and therefore longer in time. The use of hot stones in the projection of acupuncture zones contributes to the toning of the Yang energy. And the stone therapy procedure, carried out with stones through the tissue, has a wonderful relaxing effect.
Treatment of chronic tonsillitis in St. Petersburg
A consultation on treatment with traditional oriental medicine (acupressure, manual therapy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, Taoist psychotherapy and other non-drug methods of treatment) is held at the address: St. Petersburg, st. Lomonosov 14, K.1 (7-10 minutes walk from the metro station "Vladimirskaya / Dostoevskaya"), with 9.00 to 21.00, without lunch and days off.
It has long been known that the best effect in the treatment of diseases is achieved with the combined use of "Western" and "Eastern" approaches. Significantly reduce the duration of treatment, reduces the likelihood of recurrence of the disease. Since the "eastern" approach, in addition to techniques aimed at treating the underlying disease, pays great attention to the "cleansing" of blood, lymph, blood vessels, digestive tract, thoughts, etc. - often this is even a necessary condition.
The consultation is free of charge and does not obligate you to anything. On her highly desirable all the data of your laboratory and instrumental research methods over the last 3-5 years. After spending only 30-40 minutes of your time, you will learn about alternative methods of treatment, learn how to improve the effectiveness of already prescribed therapy and, most importantly, about how you can fight the disease yourself. You may be surprised - how everything will be logically built, and understanding the essence and causes - the first step to successful problem solving!
With the onset of cold weather, many are faced with the unpleasant problem of coughing and sore throats. Folk methods from different countries offer an alternative to tablets and powders. Consider how they cope with inconvenience in exotic and warm countries. The described means will allow you to feel better and touch another culture.
Korea
Pear for a couple
Koreans cope with painful sensations in the throat using an ordinary pear and its juice. To prepare a healing agent, it is necessary to cut off the upper part of the fruit and carefully remove the pulp from it with a teaspoon, but not too close to the walls so as not to break them. In the freed space, you need to put finely chopped or grated ginger, a medium-sized cinnamon stick and a teaspoon of honey. Koreans often add a handful of pine nuts and red dates. To completeness, report with those pieces that you have already got. Then you should rotate the teaspoon inside to mix the ingredients. After that, the pear is placed in a glass or mug and slowly heated for a couple of about 1 hour. The fruit should become soft and give juice.
China
Honey radish salad
To do this, you will need not the usual black radish, but a white variety, which in China is also called daikon. It contains a large amount of vitamin A and C, as well as calcium, which are deficient in the inhabitants of the northern regions of China. To prepare a salad, daikon must either be finely chopped or grated. Then mix the vegetable with 1-2 tablespoons of honey. It takes several days to prepare and eat the salad. During this time, the throat will gradually soften and discomfort will disappear.
The Chinese also believe that many useful properties are found in ginger. Tea is prepared from it, in which cane sugar and red dates are also placed. You need to cook it in a small saucepan - 1 time for about 3 cups. For 750 ml. water will need about 15 g of ginger, 30 g of brown sugar and 30 g of red dates, which are pre-cut into halves. The mixture is boiled over low heat for 10 minutes, after which it is ready to be served.
Greece
iron tea
Greeks also cope with sore throat syndrome with the help of tea. It is brewed from a special plant called Sideritis. In translation, it literally means "iron product". In ancient times, it was brought to the Greeks by shepherds who went to graze their cattle in the mountains. It is also known in Russia under the name "zheleznica". It can be found in the Black Sea region and the Caucasus. The leaves and flowers of the plant are used to make tea.
Russia
Inhalation and rinsing
Warm milk with honey and butter is traditionally used to reduce sore throat and soften it. Also, people often use inhalations on hot boiled potatoes. Today, medical solutions that can be bought at pharmacies are increasingly being used. For example, Hexoral. It contains hexotedin, which helps to destroy most of the viruses, and also makes the discomfort in the throat less. The drug works for about 12 hours. Absorbable tablets or inhalers are also used.
Cherokee Indians
Healing drink from yarrow
The Indians who lived on both sides of the American Appalachians did not know about any pills before. They solved throat problems by brewing yarrow leaves and stems. It is proved that the substances contained in it increase the body's resistance. Tea turns out bitter, but quickly relieves the disease.
Egypt
Garlic honey and hibiscus
In the country of pyramids and pharaohs, garlic-scented honey was prepared to get rid of a sore throat. To do this, garlic cloves need to be cut into small pieces, but it is better to grind to a homogeneous gruel, then mix with honey. But to get rid of cough, the Egyptians used hibiscus. Several flowers were added to the bath or made on its basis a decoction for inhalation.
Laryngeal cancer accounts for about 3% of all human malignant tumors. The disease affects mainly men aged 40-60 years, who make up 80-95% of patients. Laryngeal cancer is characterized by the presence of malignant tumors in the tissues of the larynx. It is believed that smoking and alcohol abuse contribute to the development of the disease.
Gradually, in lovers of alcoholic beverages and smokers, the cells of the larynx are modified, which is the beginning of the precancerous process. Risk factors are also infectious diseases of the oral cavity, human papillomavirus, environmental pollution. Today, there is a trend towards a decrease in the growth of the disease, which is associated with the refusal of many people to stop smoking.
Symptoms of laryngeal cancer
There are 4 stages of laryngeal cancer:
- In stage I, the ulcer or tumor is limited to the mucous membrane and does not spread beyond one part of the larynx.
- In stage II, an ulcer or tumor occupies the entirety of any part of the larynx. The mobility of the larynx is not impaired. Metastases are not defined.
- In stage III, the tumor spreads to the underlying tissues. The mobility of the corresponding half of the larynx is impaired. Single or multiple regional metastases are determined.
- During stage IV, the tumor grows into neighboring organs. Fixed metastases in the lymph nodes of the neck are determined.
The first signs of the disease are similar to the symptoms of a common cold. Often they manifest themselves in regular laryngeal pains, difficulty swallowing, voice changes, tumors in the neck. The most common symptoms of laryngeal cancer include:
- sore throat that does not go away;
- change in voice, such as hoarseness or hoarseness;
- persistent ear pain
- persistent cough;
- labored breathing;
- weight loss;
- blood in sputum.
Diagnosis of cancer of the larynx
Diagnosis of laryngeal cancer in China is based on an objective assessment of the prevalence and features of a tumor lesion of the larynx. The doctor examines the larynx using laryngoscopy. The method of indirect laryngoscopy involves examining the patient's throat with a small mirror. With direct laryngoscopy, a flexible thin laryngoscope is inserted through the oral cavity or nasal passage to the patient, which allows assessing the condition of the walls of the larynx and vocal cords. Video endoscopy of the larynx is performed - examination of the larynx using endoscopic equipment.
The use of computed tomography (CT) makes it possible to obtain a series of x-rays that allow you to determine the size of the tumor, its prevalence in the lymph nodes. The only way to confirm the presence of laryngeal cancer is a biopsy. The procedure consists in taking a piece of tissue or puncturing the tumor with a needle. The preliminary response of the study in Chinese clinics is received after 2 hours, the final one - after 2 days.
Treatment of laryngeal cancer
For the treatment of laryngeal cancer in China a combination of advanced Western technologies (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, radiofrequency hyperthermia of tumors) and methods of traditional Chinese medicine are used. For cancer of the vocal cords stage I and II in cancer clinics in China radiation therapy or chemotherapy is used, in stage III and IV - combined treatment (radiation therapy and laryngectomy).
Given the huge population of China, Chinese surgeons have accumulated tremendous experience in treatment. With the help of surgery, the tumor, some parts of the larynx and nearby organs are removed. Chemotherapy, used in Chinese hospitals, involves the introduction into the patient's body of cytostatic drugs that destroy tumor cells or slow down tumor growth.
The use of drugs based on ancient Chinese recipes helps to recover painlessly after surgical treatment, and increase the level of immunity.
NewMed Center is ready to represent your interests in the leading cancer centers in China. Based on an extract from your medical history, we will offer you an individual program of examination, diagnosis and treatment in an oncology clinic specializing in the treatment of laryngeal cancer.
The price of the whole complex of examination, diagnosis and treatment of laryngeal cancer compares favorably with the price in similar clinics in the USA, Germany and Israel.

How angina is treated in China
Tonsillitis
Tonsillitis- acute or chronic inflammation of the palatine tonsils. Acute tonsillitis is also called angina.
When diagnosed with chronic tonsillitis, treatment in traditional Chinese medicine is carried out without surgery using phytotherapy methods and medical procedures.
For the maximum therapeutic effect in the diagnosis of chronic tonsillitis, treatment is prescribed individually, taking into account all the main and concomitant factors of the disease. The main direction that the treatment of tonsillitis in traditional Chinese medicine has is to increase immunity and improve the energy status of the body.
The treatment of chronic tonsillitis in our clinic is complex, including procedures (vacuum therapy, jade massage, etc.) and phytotherapy, which normalize the production and composition of mucus, have an immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effect.
Thanks to the treatment, chronic foci of inflammation are completely eliminated, immunity is increased, and the breathing process is normalized. The effectiveness of such complex therapy is very high, which allows you to reliably eliminate chronic diseases of the broncho-pulmonary system, including chronic tonsillitis.
When diagnosed with tonsillitis, the symptoms are as follows:
Pain when swallowing, drooling, high fever for 3 or more days, difficulty breathing, white or yellowish coating on the tonsils.
As in the case of other diseases of the respiratory tract, when diagnosed with tonsillitis, the symptoms depend on the form of the disease - acute tonsillitis or chronic tonsillitis.
In the case when chronic tonsillitis occurs, the symptoms are less pronounced, the disease can proceed sluggishly, without exacerbations in the form of tonsillitis, manifesting itself as periodic mild sore throat, an increase in the size of the tonsils, and low-grade fever.
However, the presence of a chronic inflammatory process in the diagnosis of chronic tonsillitis leads to a general decrease in immunity and can provoke other respiratory diseases.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause of tonsillitis is an imbalance of energy in the meridian of the lungs, which is responsible for the functions of mucous organs and surfaces, the lymphatic system and immunity. As a result of its imbalance, there is a decrease in local immunity (primarily in the respiratory tract), which creates conditions for the development of the inflammatory process.
With tonsillitis, the inflammatory process is localized on the palatine tonsils, which are commonly called tonsils.
Chronic tonsillitis and acute tonsillitis
Depending on the nature of the course, acute and chronic tonsillitis are distinguished.
Acute tonsillitis develops against a background of reduced immunity and is caused either by viruses (viral tonsillitis) or bacteria (tonsillitis). The acute phase of the disease is characterized by symptoms such as high fever (up to 39-40 degrees), severe sore throat, especially when swallowing, difficulty breathing, enlarged and reddening of the palatine tonsils, white or yellowish plaques on the tonsils. An increase in the tonsils in acute tonsillitis can reach such an extent that they completely block the lumen of the pharynx.
In case of incorrect or insufficient treatment of acute tonsillitis, it can become chronic. Its main symptoms are: fatigue, muscle and joint pain, headaches, fever, halitosis. Among the accompanying symptoms are acne, dysbacteriosis, inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and a number of others.
Chronic tonsillitis is characterized by periodic exacerbations (frequent tonsillitis) with the same symptoms as in acute tonsillitis. Typically, such exacerbations occur against the background of hypothermia or psycho-emotional instability. The danger of chronic tonsillitis is that it is a constant source of infection in the body with the risk of infection spreading to other organs, including the kidneys and heart.
BUDDLE WEST review
Good time of the day!
My history of acquaintance with drugs. It's no secret that TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) has been around for thousands of years. But it so happened that China is our neighbor, and the experience of treatment is adopted with difficulty. I had doctors in my family. Grandmother, a therapist, left behind a couple of books on herbal medicine. And I have a very strong faith in herbs.
I myself do not collect herbs, but in the pharmacy I leave a decent amount for each next epidemic of influenza and acute respiratory infections. First you buy for a throat, then for a runny nose, then for a cough.
You have to work - you can't get sick. You will reach the last and you understand that you have to drink antibiotic. The consequences of dysbacteriosis, and my favorite dysentery is right there. Many understand what despair is when nothing helps, only temporary relief. It’s okay for yourself, but the child is sick ... it’s already becoming unbearable. Many mothers will understand me! Of course, the environment and all that. A thermal power plant smokes nearby, and an aluminum plant is 30 km away.
It would be necessary to move to ecologically clean areas ... but that's another story.
My daughter has constant colds. and enlarged tonsils, sore throat. I've been sick for 2 weeks, I've been studying for a maximum of a month. Then he gets sick again. In search of a good Laura had to travel to the other end of the city for sanitation. He cured our throat with official methods. Immunity lasted for half a year. Sanation prescribed us every six months. Six months later we arrived with a sore throat. I stuck a pepper plaster on the throat behind the ears on the points, as the complications went to the ears. It was then that he realized that non-traditional treatment would suit us. It turned out that our ENT is a TCM specialist. He described the type according to some kind of meridians ... lack of qi. Pale, sweating, freezing ... Everything coincided. Wrote the course of treatment and the address of Lee West's office.
I didn't immediately run to Lee West. There was no trust to such distributors, the attitude in my circle, as to scammers. But I thought that I wasn’t losing much and decided to take a chance, I bought the first remedy from the course of treatment, acting like an antibiotic, only on herbs. There are two pharmacies in our city of Lee West. On the Internet, the price is 600-700, you can find Lee West in any major city. In pharmacies, there is rarely something from TCM preparations; in pharmacies of our city, there is practically nothing.
The first test passed on her husband. One pill cleared his throat and runny nose. I had the same sore throat. I decided to drink a course of 10 days.
Surprisingly, the sore throat was gone in five minutes. At the same time, conflicting feelings of surprise and disappointment arose in me. Disappointment in our pharmacy medicines, in general in official medicine. I have certainly heard of miraculous cures. But faith in official medicine was still alive. All the same, my cousin is a doctor, and starting a conversation about other medicines is like starting a civil war in a totalitarian state)
This is how we live now. “Well, well, bring money to the hucksters,” said my doctor sister. And I'll carry it ... Still better than in pharmacies. And I wish prosperity to the Lee West Firm. And those who have cured something with TCM at least once will go to Lee West. Well, except that I will buy Traumel ointment from Hel at the pharmacy. And that's another story.)
Lee West's website says:
The action of the drug
Action according to traditional Chinese medicine
Compound
Pills "Silver Feather" tasted disgusting to me. Lor said to drink warm water and chew thoroughly. The daughter somehow persuaded me to bite off in small pieces and swallow like bitter pills. It smells disgusting, reminiscent of the taste of mummy. You have to take one pill a day. Course 10 days.
Indications
Application
The daughter was assigned to divide in half. Then I found out at the Lee West pharmacy that for our region it is enough to take half the dose, which significantly reduces the cost of treatment) 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the evening.
For 1 day, the temperature was gone. 3 passed the runny nose and incipient cough. On the 5th day she was completely healthy.
And all this for 600 rubles. O_O Can you imagine my shock? In the pharmacy, I left 6-7 thousand at a time. Left my daughter at home for decency for a couple more days so that the teachers would not think of us. A week later, completely healthy again to study, without congestion and residual cough!
One drawback, my daughter does not like it - it’s not enough to sit at home, the recovery is very fast
Silver feather. Package
Silver feather. pills
cut silver feather
My observations: The second time it didn't work so fast. I think you need to alternate drugs and take breaks. In addition to the silver pen, in the anti-inflammatory section you will find others that are no less effective. So, one remedy against a whole arsenal of pharmacies. All health!
What a terrible cold. The best cure for disease is prevention. It is possible to prevent any disease, there would be a desire. Chinese medicine states that many diseases are more than 150 stages of an uncured cold. Let's learn not to catch a cold.
You have probably noticed that in one case, the treatment helps, and in the other, not so much. The fact is that colds are different. By Chinese medicine a pathogenic factor (in European medicine, these are viruses and bacteria) may have the properties of heat or cold. Accordingly, the treatment should be completely opposite. If it is not started in time, then the cold in the body can transform into heat - the treatment will need to be radically changed.
Let's start by dressing for the weather. Listen to the forecast, look at the thermometer and get dressed. Be afraid of the wind. The wind is a cart on which pathogenic factors enter the body. The gates of the wind are located on the back of the back and the back of the head, so you must always turn to face it. We must try not to get wet and not to freeze the feet. Keep your lower back and stomach warm.
The Chinese are generally reverent about the navel. Many meridians connected with the sexual sphere pass and intersect in the abdomen. Now it’s clear where so many problems in gynecology come from, look at how modern girls dress. I have nothing against nice trendy jeans and a short jacket, but not in - 40 degrees.
If you are still cold, you should take measures to remove the cold from the body as soon as possible. Cold is usually manifested by nasal congestion or copious clear discharge, chills, headache, body aches, and low temperature. Look at the tongue - you can see a thin white coating on it, the urine is usually light. Even if you cannot decide, start urgent preventive measures. From the cold, the pores on the skin narrow (from the cold, in general, everything shrinks).
In order not to get sick, you need to open the pores (sweat) and expel cold from the body. This is done easily and pleasantly. If possible, you can climb up and sit in a hot bath or bath, drink a decoction of ginger (a finely chopped piece of ginger is simmered over low heat in 200 ml of water for 30 minutes), in extreme cases, hot tea, or cognac, or pepper (do not get drunk, but drink), put on warm socks with mustard and wrap yourself in a blanket, sweat well. It is important to do all this and sweat. In the morning you are like a cucumber, you will not get sick.
In European medicine, this role is played by paracetamol. Just do not abuse it too much, carefully read the side effects. It is not for nothing that mulled wine was invented - a hot drink made from red wine with sugar and spices. It contains cinnamon, which has the property of opening pores and warming. So if possible, when you get cold, run to the nearest cafe and drink mulled wine. But remember!!! The northerner is not the one who does not freeze, but the one who dresses warmly.
If you are too lazy or forgot to do it, the cold can turn into heat. The time it takes for everyone is different, sometimes hours (1 or 2), you can not have time and you will have to be treated in a completely different way. Heat in the body is manifested by an increase in temperature to 38 and above. The nasal discharge will become thicker, sometimes yellow or green. There will be pain in the throat. The coating on the tongue will be yellow. Urine rich yellow. You can feel your heart rate increase.
In this case, you should not do all of the above. Antibiotics will help here, as they are "cold in nature." Now you need to expel the heat. In Chinese medicine, there are special herbs that are cold in nature, expelling heat. Moreover, herbs can be tropic to a diseased organ (i.e., treat only the organ in which there is inflammation). Contact a Chinese medicine specialist for them.
You can and should be healthy. We just need to do something about it. And usually people are lazy, do not find time, hope that it will pass by itself. But don't forget there are 150 more... stages of an uncured cold. The pathogenic factor can linger on the skin, go into the muscles (myositis), into the organs (pneumonia), along the meridians and barriers. No one would have thought that, for example, an inguinal hernia is a cold in the liver meridian.
Pathogenic factors can cause stagnation of qi, followed by stagnation of blood, and cause new diseases. Facial wind paralysis is caused by wind (in the presence of additional factors). It is very bad to get caught in the rain and stay in wet clothes for a long time, cold and dampness can get into the body. Or after a good workout, sweaty (when the pores are open) to enjoy the wind or continue training in the rain is very harmful.
In women, cold can cause discharge (leucorrhea) or pain in the lower abdomen. The gynecologist will be happy to prescribe an examination (usually they are looking for the pathogen), as a rule, they will find something and prescribe antibiotics (which are cold). At best, the situation will not change, and at worst, it will get worse.
Long-term cold can be the cause of infertility or miscarriage. A specialist in Chinese medicine will determine the presence of cold in the body based on complaints and conditions, prescribe warming herbs or procedures (heating with jars or wormwood cigars, (very pleasant procedures)), prepare the body for conception.
People! Love yourself! Love your loved ones! Be responsible! Be healthy! It is better to be active and do what you love than to lie in bed, swallow chemistry (it is not known whether it will help) and sit in queues to the doctor for 3 hours. In our troubled times, there is no time to get sick!
