Patient's question:
Is catching a cold from air conditioning a wind cold?Doctor's answer:
Whether it's a wind-cold or wind-heat cold is not entirely determined by whether you are exposed to hot or cold air. It depends on your constitution, whether you are inclined towards a hot or cold constitution. The wind pathogen you contract can either be transformed into heat or cold, leading to different types of colds such as wind-heat or wind-cold. Therefore, catching a cold from using air conditioning can result in either wind-heat or wind-cold colds. A cold is a self-limiting illness and is related to the body's automatic immune response. Pay attention to regular exercise, enhance nutrition, and drink plenty of water. Additionally, when you have a cold without a fever, taking vitamin C can help it heal on its own.
