Seven ways to treat colds in winter:
Prevention method of Astragalus tea: Take Astragalus 10g, Atractylodes macrocephala 6g, Saposhnikovia divaricata 6g and Mume 1g, put them in a thermos cup, brew with boiling water for 10min, and then pour boiling water after drinking, one dose a day, which can not only prevent colds, but also enhance the disease resistance.
Rub five hearts to reduce fever: take scallion 15g, ginger 15g and a little salt, mash them into a paste, add a glass of wine, wrap them with gauze and wipe the front heart, back heart, palms, soles and ribs, sweat for half an hour after rubbing, and reduce fever the next day.
The method of applying medicine to the sole of the foot to treat a cold: patients wash their feet with hot water, dry them, and then stick a small piece of musk tiger bone paste on Yongquan point of the sole of the foot, and change it every 24 hours.
The method of treating cold with poultry eggs: 50 grams of ginger, peeled and cut into shredded ginger, boiled with water, then put in two duck eggs (shelled and scattered), stir slightly, add 20 ml of white wine and a little salt, and fry for 3-5 minutes. Eat eggs and soup, eat them while they are hot, cover them with a little sweat, and a dose of winter cold can cure them.
Acid-base cold treatment: mix baking soda with cold boiled water to make 6% water solution (or use 5% vinegar), drop 2-3 drops into the nose each time, or dip it with a cotton swab and rub it on the nostril every three hours.
Steam inhalation in cold therapy: Take a teapot or teacup, pour boiling water into it, and breathe a tolerable distance through your nostrils until the water does not steam, five times a day. It is also effective for rhinostomatitis and swelling.
Three-scented tea method for treating cold: Take 5g of honeysuckle, 4g of chrysanthemum and 3g of scented tea (such as dry throat, itching or pain plus 3 capsules of boat-fruited Sterculia, crystal sugar 1 0g), brew with boiling water for 5 minutes, and then drink1dose daily to treat toxic cold, and the effect is remarkable.

There are four things not to do in winter:
In winter, some seemingly reasonable measures should not be taken casually, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
Scratch if you want, but don't scratch: when you feel itchy all over in winter because of dryness, you must never scratch with your hands, otherwise it will easily scratch your skin and cause secondary infection. The prevention and treatment methods are to drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat less hot and sour food, drink less, take a bath frequently and change underwear frequently. If the itching is serious, you should see a doctor and apply some ointment to the symptoms.
You want to bake it when it's cold, but you can't bake it: If your hands and feet are cold, it seems appropriate to bake it hot, but it's not desirable. Exposing hands and feet for a long time in winter causes blood vessels to contract and blood flow to decrease. At this time, if it is baked with fire immediately, the blood vessels will be paralyzed and lose their contractility, leading to arterial congestion, capillary dilation, enhanced permeability and local congestion. Mild frostbite, severe tissue necrosis. Therefore, frozen hands and feet can only be gently rubbed to make them slowly return to normal temperature.
Dry lips can't be licked: dry lips can't be licked with the tongue to increase moisture. Because saliva is secreted by salivary glands, it is used to moisten the mouth and digest food, and contains amylase and other substances, which is relatively viscous. Licking your lips is like coating a layer of paste. After the wind blows, the water evaporates and amylase sticks to the lips, which makes the lips drier and even causes the lips to rupture and bleed, causing purulent infection. Therefore, when the lips are chapped, you can rinse them with hot water, apply a layer of balsam or glycerin, drink more boiled water and eat more fruits and vegetables.
I think "cats" can't be cold: there is a habit of "cats in winter" in northern China. When winter comes, some people who have nothing to do will "cat" into the hut and stay still. But if the room is closed for a winter, it will accumulate a lot of dust, and the dirty air will easily make people sick. Therefore, in winter, the bedroom should be properly dusted and ventilated to reduce and inhibit the reproduction of germs and viruses and prevent diseases. In addition, ultraviolet rays in the sun can resist and kill a variety of germs and viruses, and can effectively prevent meningitis, influenza, measles and other diseases. And sunbathing in winter can also prevent rickets in children and osteoporosis in the elderly. Therefore, when the weather is good, people should go outdoors more, bask in the sun, breathe more fresh air and adapt to climate change.
3. Prevent diseases in autumn and winter
Knowledge of disease prevention in autumn and winter 2005165438+10.7 12: 18:00 autumn and winter are the frequent seasons for infectious diseases, allergic diseases and other diseases.
Especially delicate babies are more vulnerable to diseases. If smart parents want their baby to spend this "eventful autumn" safely, then come and learn about the prevention and treatment information of common diseases in children in autumn and winter! When the seasons alternate, the temperature is not constant, and it is hot and cold, especially on a day with a large temperature difference. In the morning and evening, it is cool and windy, but in the afternoon, it is hot. If children can't increase or decrease clothes in time, they will be uneven in heat and cold and easily catch a cold. If clothes are put on too early, children will sweat, sweat pores will open, blood flow will increase, heat dissipation function will be strengthened and heat dissipation will be accelerated. Moreover, when the cool breeze blows in autumn, the child's adjustment is unbalanced, and there are cold symptoms such as fever, cough and runny nose. If the resistance is low or the treatment is not timely, it can develop into bronchitis and pneumonia.
Don't dress your child too early because of a cold. Add or subtract clothes for children according to the weather changes every day. Note: 1. Don't take off your clothes immediately when the child is already sweating. Let the child calm down and dry the sweat. When the child stops sweating, take off a dress and let the child play.
2, don't put the sweaty child in the air outlet to cool down, not to mention using an electric fan or air conditioner to cool down the child, and don't let the child drink cold drinks and other foods quickly, which will make the child's open sweat pores close quickly, causing imbalance in body regulation and causing a cold. Children should be allowed to drink warm water, which can not only prevent colds, but also benefit their gastrointestinal tract and lungs.
Tracheitis and pneumonia are upper respiratory tract infections, and tracheitis and pneumonia are lower respiratory tract infections, which are much more serious than upper respiratory tract infections. Upper respiratory tract infection can develop into lower respiratory tract infection.
Let children exercise in nature. Aerobic exercise is a good way to improve their physical resistance, but most parents are afraid of their children freezing, and few are afraid of their children being hot. They put on thick clothes and quilts for their children early, and close the door and window as soon as the weather is a little cold, which is tantamount to depriving them of the opportunity to exercise in nature. So how can children adapt to the cold winter? Note: 1. Autumn is coming, don't rush to add clothes to the children. It's hard to lose it after adding it, because the weather is getting colder every day and it can only get more and more. In the really cold season, there is nothing to add.
The best way is to wear clothes as thick as children. If you don't feel cold when you are * *, the child won't be cold. Although children are not as cold-resistant as adults, they are always exercising and will not be quiet even when they fall asleep. 2. When children catch a cold, don't take too many anti-cold drugs, which is one of the ways to prevent the development of lower respiratory tract infection.
Because more than 90% of colds are viral infections, the most common symptoms of colds are fever, runny nose and sneezing. There are many viruses and inflammatory cells in respiratory secretions. Snoring and sneezing are effective ways to remove the virus, and most anti-cold drugs are aimed at the symptoms of runny nose and sneezing, and they also have the effect of reducing fever. When taking cold medicine, the symptoms are relieved, but the respiratory mucosa is dry, which can not only destroy the virus, but also make bacteria take advantage of it. Rest more, sleep more, drink more water, reduce fever properly, pay attention to nursing and see a doctor frequently, all of which are good ways to treat colds and prevent lower respiratory tract infections.
Diarrhea in autumn is an old topic. Autumn diarrhea is an infection caused by rotavirus, and the prone season is autumn and winter. At the initial stage of the disease, it is characterized by runny nose, cough, fever, sore throat, frequent defecation, vomiting, abdominal pain and other cold symptoms, which are easily misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal cold.
The disease has obvious seasonality, sudden onset, high body temperature (generally 38-40℃), serious gastrointestinal symptoms, and even dozens of stools every day, mostly in the shape of water or eggs. The stools of older children are jet-shaped, without special foul smell and mucus pus. The stool test is normal or there are a few white blood cells.
Due to frequent vomiting and diarrhea, loss of appetite, children are prone to different degrees of dehydration. In severe cases, electrolyte disorder may occur, and in more severe cases, encephalitis, intestinal bleeding, intussusception or myositis may occur, which is life-threatening. Parents should pay enough attention to this disease.
Note: 1. Parents should thoroughly clean their hands and articles contaminated by feces after handling their children's feces to avoid the spread of feces. 2. During the diarrhea season, don't touch sick children, and don't take children to crowded places to play.
3. Keep the indoor air fresh and ventilated. The most important thing is to replenish the lost water and electrolyte in time, which is the key to treat autumn diarrhea.
You can buy oral rehydration salts. As a result, the child was dehydrated and electrolyte disorder, and had to be hospitalized for intravenous infusion to correct dehydration and electrolyte disorder. In fact, as long as oral rehydration salts are mainly used in the early stage of the disease and other treatment methods are adopted, hospitalization can be avoided, which not only relieves the pain of children, but also saves medical expenses.
The prickly heat in late autumn is the high season of prickly heat. Some children don't have prickly heat in hot summer, but they give birth to prickly heat in late summer and early autumn. In summer, parents should pay more attention to prevention. In autumn, the weather is still unstable. On a certain day, the temperature can reach as high as in summer. But at this time, parents no longer bathe their children frequently and rub prickly heat powder, and some even start to cover their children. As a result, summer is not allowed, and autumn is not allowed.
Prevention: 1 Although the weather is getting colder and colder, we should still insist on bathing our children. Through uninterrupted bathing, improve children's adaptability to the gradually cold climate.
2. Don't put too many clothes on your child too early, and don't cover it too thick when you sleep. In autumn, the humidity of pharyngitis drops, the air gradually dries, and children sweat less and drink less water. Most people don't take the initiative to drink water, and their throat is dry. Bacteria stored in the pharynx will multiply in large numbers, leading to pharyngitis and tracheitis, which is the external cause of children's susceptibility to pharyngitis.
1. Parents should urge their children to drink more water. Drinks can't replace boiled water, especially drinks with more sugar. 2. Pay attention to indoor humidity.
4. How to prevent colds in autumn and winter?
In autumn, the weather turns cold, which is the season of catching cold easily. The number of patients who come to Beijing Friendship Hospital for treatment due to a cold has increased. Experts from the respiratory department of Friendship Hospital reminded that due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening, the cold index is somewhat high. Everyone should appropriately increase clothes and take effective measures to prevent colds.
On weekdays, all kinds of bacteria, such as staphylococcus and streptococcus, are attached around our nasal cavity and oral mucosa. However, because the body has certain resistance and immunity, these bacteria are inorganic and cannot cause harm to the body. But when catching a cold, the body's resistance and immunity are greatly reduced, so they take the opportunity to enter and invade our bodies and get sick.
Colds are generally divided into two types, one is the common cold, also called cold; The other is influenza, which is caused by one or more viruses besides cold invading the body. The virus mainly invades the respiratory mucosa, making it inflamed, resulting in various symptoms. Many people pay little attention to colds. In fact, colds have a great impact on people's health. A cold will greatly weaken the body's resistance and immunity, and it is very easy to induce other diseases. Therefore, in daily life, we should pay attention to the following aspects:
Wash your face with cold water first and soak your feet with hot water. Getting into the habit of taking a cold bath and soaking your feet in hot water every morning and evening will help strengthen your body's disease resistance. "Keep a cold away from your skin" is the truth.
Second, the constitution law. Appropriate outdoor exercise such as walking, playing ball, doing exercises, practicing boxing and sword in autumn and winter can enhance the body's ability to keep out the cold and prevent colds.
Third, drink ginger tea. Boiling water with ginger and brown sugar instead of tea can effectively prevent and treat colds.
Fourth, diet therapy. Autumn diet is principled. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five flavors have different functions and are closely related to the five internal organs. There is a saying that five flavors belong to the five internal organs. The climate change of four seasons has certain influence on the physiological and pathological changes of human body. Therefore, it is fundamental to ensure a scientific diet because of the disease, people, place and time.
5. How to prevent colds when the seasons alternate?
First of all, when the seasons alternate, we should pay more attention to climate change and increase or decrease clothes with climate change to avoid catching cold.
And washing your face every morning and evening with cold water instead of warm water can prevent colds. Secondly, when the seasons alternate, pay more attention to diet and eat less greasy food, such as fried food and ice cream.
Drink more hot water every day to drive away the cold. If you drink ginger tea every day, the effect will be better. Active physical exercise, moderate outdoor sports such as morning running, sword practice, Tai Chi, etc. , can enhance the body's ability to keep out the cold and prevent colds.
At the same time, washing hands frequently, opening windows frequently and paying attention to personal hygiene and environmental hygiene can also prevent colds well. People with colds should take medicine in time and actively treat them in order to recover as soon as possible.

And sunbathing in winter can also prevent rickets in children and osteoporosis in the elderly. Therefore, when the weather is good, people should go outdoors more, bask in the sun, breathe more fresh air and adapt to climate change.
7. How should middle-aged and elderly people care in autumn and winter?
Modern meteorological medical research believes that the cold climate makes people's immune function decline, endocrine disorders, blood circulation changes, and diseases are prone to occur, especially those diseases that seriously threaten the health of the elderly, which are prone to recurrence and acute attacks due to cold.
Experts believe that in winter, the elderly are vulnerable to foreign pathogens because of their decreased physiological functions and low cold and cold resistance, and they get pneumonia, flu and other common winter diseases. These new diseases are intertwined with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, nephropathy, gastrointestinal diseases, asthma, tracheitis, emphysema, rheumatoid arthritis and other old chronic diseases, which seriously threaten the health and life safety of the elderly.
Therefore, only by taking preventive measures as early as possible can the elderly spend the long winter calmly and safely. Adapt to the times, strengthen the body's resistance and resist evil. The way of keeping in good health in traditional Chinese medicine is to conform to the times.
After winter, the climate changes from cool in autumn to cold in winter. In winter, yin flourishes and yang declines, and cold is the main qi in winter, which belongs to yin evil, and it is the easiest to hurt people's yang, and it needs people's yang to resist it most. Because the old people are old, their yang is weakening. Therefore, in October, November and December of the lunar calendar, it is more important for the elderly to keep warm from the cold, protect yang and benefit qi, and strengthen the body resistance and eliminate evil spirits.
The view of modern health preservation is similar to that of traditional health preservation. The experimental research shows that when the external temperature changes, the lower the temperature, the more heat directly radiated by the human body; The higher the temperature, the less heat the human body radiates.
In the face of cold, in order to keep the body temperature constant, the human body must supplement itself with calories and increase clothes and diet. Therefore, it is necessary for the elderly to improve their cold tolerance and immune function in winter, and pay attention to scientific warmth.
Wearing thick clothes is not necessarily warm. Old people should first pay attention to keep warm, but it is unscientific to "wear thick clothes to keep warm". Skin is the second respiratory organ of human body. It is necessary to continuously obtain nutrients in the air to maintain the balance of water and nutrients in the whole body. If you wear too thick and can't breathe, it will put pressure on your skin and make it unable to breathe freely.
Therefore, dressing in winter should be scientific, and further, we should pay attention to "clothing climate". "Clothing climate" means that although the surface temperature of clothing is close to the outside temperature, the temperature between the inner layer of clothing and the skin is always kept at 32℃~33℃. This ideal "clothing climate" can create a good microclimate around human skin, buffer the invasion of external cold climate and keep the human body at a constant temperature.
Therefore, the elderly should wear light and warm clothes in winter. The inner container of cotton-padded clothes should be made of wool, silk cotton, down and acrylic cotton with light weight, large volume and strong warmth retention.
Old people should wear dark clothes. Studies show that black absorbs 88% of solar radiation, while white only absorbs 20%.
Dark clothes can absorb more solar radiation, so that the human body can get more heat and increase the effect of keeping warm. Old people should not add clothes at once. They should gradually add clothes as the temperature drops, so that their bodies can get exercise, gradually adapt to the cold and improve their cold resistance. Don't cut clothes suddenly after adding clothes.
Pay special attention to the protection of head, nose, neck, back, hands, feet and other important parts. As the saying goes: "Wearing a cotton-padded hat in winter is like wearing a cotton-padded jacket."
Chinese medicine believes that the head is "the confluence of yang". Modern medicine believes that the head and neck are close to the heart, with large blood flow and large heat.
The experiment shows that when the ambient temperature is 4℃, the heat lost by the head accounts for three fifths of the total heat, and at 65438 05℃, it accounts for three quarters. Moreover, cold weather causes disease, "bearing the brunt."
Cold will significantly increase the incidence of stroke. Therefore, the elderly must wear hats in winter, especially when going out.
Don't forget to protect your ears when you put on your hat. Keeping the neck warm can prevent cervical spondylosis.
In addition to wearing a scarf around the neck during the day, the elderly can apply a hot water bottle to the neck at night. Don't cover your neck with your mouth and wear a scarf.
Because when you cover your nose and mouth with a scarf, falling fibers, dust and germs enter the body with breathing, which is easy to cause respiratory diseases. Keeping your nose warm can prevent colds.
Studies have shown that when the temperature of nasal mucosa drops to 32℃, the local blood circulation will be obviously delayed, the phagocytosis of immune cells will decrease, and cold viruses will easily take advantage of it. Health experts believe that the health care effect of wearing a mask is not as good as that of the nose: first, press the Xiang Ying point on both sides of the nose wing for 20~30 times with your index finger and thumb, and then gently * * * the nose tip and nose wing with your hot palm, positive and negative times 10.
This method can also be used for the adjuvant treatment of common cold and nasal congestion. As the saying goes, "cold starts from the feet."
The sole of the foot is far away from the heart, with little blood supply and thin surface fat, which is the place with the lowest skin temperature. The measures to keep feet warm are: the size of shoes and socks should be slightly larger, and there should be a gap between feet and shoes.
When choosing cotton shoes, the soles should be properly thickened, so that the shoes have good cold resistance. Old people who are prone to frostbite should wear cotton shoes as soon as possible.
In meridian science, the back is the main part of the bladder meridian of foot sun. The bladder meridian of the foot sun is the outside of the body, which plays the role of "fence" to prevent the invasion of external evils.
Keeping your back warm can prevent "cold and cold". The way to keep warm is very simple, just wear a close-fitting cotton or fur vest.
In addition, be careful not to let your back catch cold when you sleep. Nutritionists who are rich in nutrients and help keep out the cold believe that at low temperature, the characteristics of dietary nutrition should be: increasing thermogenic nutrients and ensuring sufficient heat energy.
Thermogenic nutrients mainly include protein, fat and carbohydrate. For the elderly, the intake of fat should not be too much, so as not to induce other diseases, but should be adequate intake of protein.
The supply of protein should be 15%~ 17% of the total calories, and should be mainly made of high-quality protein, such as lean meat, eggs, fish, milk, beans and their products, which are not only convenient for human digestion and absorption, but also rich in essential amino acids, with high nutritional value, and can increase cold resistance and disease resistance. Due to the influence of digestion, absorption and metabolism in the body, the elderly often lack potassium, calcium, sodium, iron and other elements. In addition, the inorganic salts discharged with urine in winter increase, which should be supplemented in time.
Pang Wenzhen, a professor of nutrition at Tianjin Medical University, specifically said that the elderly should choose foods rich in iron (such as laver, persimmon, mushroom, black fungus, etc.); Foods rich in calcium (such as bean products, mung beans, lotus root starch, rape, laver, milk powder); Foods rich in vitamin A (such as carrots, Chinese cabbage, a small amount of eggs, a small amount of liver); Foods rich in vitamin B2 (such as.
