Bacterial colds, presenting with clinical symptoms such as fever, headache, sore throat, nasal congestion, and sometimes yellow nasal discharge, along with coughing. For patients with simple bacterial colds experiencing these symptoms, these clinical manifestations alone cannot distinguish between a Wind-Heat cold and a Wind-Cold cold.
