1. The main feelings of typhoid fever are cold pathogen and common cold.

2. The feeling of febrile diseases is mainly warm and damp-heat pathogens.

Symptom difference

1. The clinical manifestations of typhoid fever are aversion to cold, mild fever, anhidrosis, dry mouth, long urine, tight pulse, pale tongue and thin white fur.

2. The clinical manifestations of epidemic febrile diseases are severe fever, slight aversion to cold or no aversion to cold, vexation and thirst, hyperhidrosis or anhidrosis, yellow urine, rapid pulse, red tongue tip and thin yellow fur.

The relationship between the two

Typhoid fever has two concepts: broad sense and narrow sense. Typhoid fever in a broad sense is the floorboard of all exogenous febrile diseases, including typhoid fever caused by exogenous cold pathogen and fever caused by exogenous heat pathogen. So epidemic febrile diseases are subordinate to typhoid fever, that is, epidemic febrile diseases are subordinate to typhoid fever. For example, Su Wen's theory of fever said that "those who suffer from husband fever today are all typhoid fever and the like", which obviously includes febrile diseases in typhoid fever. "Fifty-eight Difficult Classics" says: "There are five types of typhoid fever: apoplexy, typhoid fever, damp-heat fever", and its typhoid fever refers to generalized typhoid fever, which is the floorboard of all exogenous febrile diseases. Typhoid fever with typhoid fever is a narrow sense typhoid fever juxtaposed with apoplexy, damp-heat, fever and febrile diseases. He is just an exogenous fever. Although the concept of epidemic febrile diseases referred to in this sentence is different from the concept of epidemic febrile diseases mentioned today, it can be clearly seen from the text that typhoid fever and epidemic febrile diseases in a narrow sense are parallel.
