A cold should be distinguished from wind-heat and wind-cold. Wind-heat is mainly manifested as high body temperature, low fever, cough and phlegm in throat. Cold is characterized by runny nose, sneezing and other symptoms. It's best to see a doctor and prescribe the right medicine. Commonly used wind-heat drugs include Jingan Capsule and Enveilixu in Bailing, Guizhou. For colds, Chinese patent medicine granules are better.
