Why did the ancients often die soon after feeling cold? This is a history book.

First, viral cold has been popular since ancient times, and there is no specific medicine. It is a self-limiting disease, even if you don't take medicine.

Secondly, we can see the history at that time, the medical conditions in ancient times and the level of so-called Chinese medicine. Don't call me black. As long as you look through the history, you will find that the royal family can go out in the rain and get bronchitis and cough, which can make doctors all over the country feel helpless, come to a bad end. There are too many such examples, and this is also the prototype of many so-called occasional colds. Moreover, the misdiagnosis rate of ancient doctors was too high, and even worse, jokes about painting tigers were invented to treat self-limiting diseases such as pig heads and pig gills.

Third, the ancient Chinese medicine in China was remarkable, with an average life expectancy of 35 years, which was not higher than that in any ancient European country. Zhou Yu is not angry at all. Still angry? Novel powder Baidu by itself. It was a flying arrow that got stuck and died of trauma complications. It also shows how poor the ancient medical level is. Looking at history, there are many cases in which all kinds of generals were wounded by knives and died of tetanus. Those who survived, because of sequelae, died in a few years, and their basic career was scrapped.

Fourth, your so-called Chinese medicine skills are profound, and I don't want to vomit. You don't even know the pathology. If you don't accept it, you can look up Li Shizhen's original prescription, and even have a way to bring the dead back to life and eat dog shit and ashes to cure diseases. This is ridiculous. Cultural pride is not cultural self-hypnosis. It is modern medicine that has sacrificed countless lives in order to improve people's life span. It is an important attempt and great progress in the historical process of all mankind. Please face it squarely. Even a large sample of double-blind group-controlled experiments can't do traditional medicine, no matter in any country. In modern society, it is untenable.

Fifth, you haven't considered the role of self-healing and placebo. Placebo is effective, even terminally ill patients can recover without taking any medicine. Finally, I admire the questioner who used this inferior answer and ignored the answer on the second floor.
