The so-called cold refers to the common cold, which is called "cold" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a common respiratory disease caused by a variety of viruses, of which 30%-50% are caused by a certain serotype of rhinovirus. Although the common cold is more common in early winter, it can occur in any season, such as spring and summer, and the pathogenic viruses of colds in different seasons are not exactly the same. Cold cases are sporadic, do not cause epidemics, and are often complicated by bacterial infections. The common cold has an acute onset.
