Is nasal congestion caused by cold or wind-heat

Nasal obstruction may be caused by wind cold or wind-heat.

Wind cold is caused by external attack of wind cold, wind-heat is caused by invasion of lung defense, both can cause fever, nasal obstruction, runny nose and other symptoms, but the difference is that wind cold patients are low fever, nasal obstruction, clear nasal discharge; wind-heat patients are high fever, nasal obstruction, turbid nasal discharge. So both may cause nasal obstruction symptoms.

Patients can initially identify wind cold or wind-heat through their own performance, but still need to seek medical advice in time under the guidance of professional doctors for diagnosis and treatment.
