What is a cold

summary

When you are sick all your life, your friend says "you have a cold", and you also feel that you have a cold. Then what is a cold? Do you really know? You just say it with a smile. It's not simple. It's fever, stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, sometimes dizziness and headache. It's OK to take some cold medicine. In fact, there are many kinds of colds. I'll talk about them today.

What is a cold

First: acute rhinitis is also a cold. Maybe you shout, how is pharyngitis a cold? Then I will talk about what is a cold. A cold is called "acute upper respiratory tract infection" in medicine. The upper respiratory tract includes "nose", "throat" and "throat". As long as it is acute inflammation in these parts, it is a cold.

Second: pharyngeal conjunctival fever is also a cold. If your child has a fever and points his little finger at his throat and says it hurts, and you find that his eyes are full of tears and congestion, it may be pharyngeal conjunctival fever.

Third: acute tonsillitis is also a cold. Children's tonsillitis is more common, because children's tonsils are there, adult's tonsils have shrunk. The position of tonsil and pharynx are close, also be in upper respiratory tract, so acute tonsillitis also can call cold.
