However, some people have a very stubborn cough that recurs for a long time, and with various tests and treatments by Western medicine, the cough is sometimes mild and persistent, which seriously affects the quality of life. Some of these coughing patients can cough when they encounter cold air, smoke, deep breathing, laughing, or inhaling irritants such as cigarettes or perfume, and in some cases, they can cough for more than half a minute in one breath. What is this? When the throat itches, there is a cough, which many people mistake for pharyngitis, but generally bronchitis has more phlegm and pharyngitis has more redness, swelling and pain. In Western medicine, chronic coughs are treated effectively after a clear diagnosis in a small percentage of cases through various tests. Most coughs cannot have a clear cause or have multiple causes acting together, and it is often difficult for a single treatment in Western medicine to be effective. This type of cough has been recognized by Chinese medicine for a long time.
