Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people with repeated colds are mostly of qi deficiency constitution, which is caused by weak lung qi deficiency or deficiency of both lung and spleen, loss of prevention of solid exterior, and weakened ability to resist invasion of external evils. Traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating lung qi, invigorating qi and strengthening spleen has the function of improving immunity, and can get good results after long-term administration.

I once treated a young man in his twenties. The main symptom is that he is prone to repeated colds. When it is a little cold, it starts to have a runny nose, which gradually develops into a sore throat or coughs up yellow phlegm once or twice a month, which is deeply distressing. Usually afraid of cold, can't eat spicy stimulation, easy to get sore throat, usually a little poor appetite, sticky stool, depressed mood, poor sleep, no obvious abnormality in physical examination, history of chronic pharyngitis, pale tongue with white fur and weak pulse.

Prescription: Radix Astragali 30g, fried atractylodes12g, Radix Saposhnikoviae10g, Ramulus Cinnamomi15g, Radix Paeoniae Alba15g, dried ginger 6g, jujube 30g, roasted licorice 3g and platycodon grandiflorum15g. After a month's treatment, the symptoms of those patients who are afraid of the wind and cold and are prone to catching a cold have been greatly improved, and then they stopped taking drugs. After several months, the follow-up effect was good.

Pressing: due to spleen and lung qi deficiency, unstable defensive qi and intolerance to cold, patients are prone to wind-cold invading lung-defensive qi and catching a cold. Wind-cold blocking heat, or excessive phlegm heat, is prone to sore throat and expectoration, which belongs to deficiency of vital qi and excess of pathogenic factors, and cold and heat are mixed.

There are many kinds of colds, such as gastrointestinal cold, wind-cold cold, wind-heat cold, accompanied by cough and expectoration, and phlegm-heat and phlegm-dampness. Generally, patients with short onset time can be treated by conventional methods such as expelling wind and relieving exterior syndrome, resolving phlegm and relieving cough.

But some people will catch a cold repeatedly, which is related to physical weakness, qi deficiency and decreased resistance. This will easily lead to decreased immunity and repeated colds. Most of them will appear pale, short of breath, lazy, tired, emaciated, or accompanied by rhinitis, asthma and other symptoms.

The medical records are for reference. If everyone's condition is different and complicated, it is recommended to see Chinese medicine instead of taking medicine according to the prescription.
