There is no such thing as a quick way to expel cold from the lungs. The professional Chinese medicine term for draining cold air from the lungs should be Xuan Lung Dispersing Cold (dispersing cold air and Xuan Dai Lung Qi), which can be treated by medication, other treatments, and general measures.
1. Medications: Cold in the lungs can be treated with medicines that warm the lungs, such as Xiaoqinglong Tang (小青龙汤) and Wind-cold Cough Pellets (风寒咳嗽颗粒) under the guidance of a doctor. The adverse effects of the above prescriptions are not clear.
Wind-cold cough granules have the effect of promoting the lung and dispersing cold, expelling phlegm and relieving cough, and are used for coughs caused by external wind-cold and lung qi not being promoted, with headache and nasal congestion, phlegm and coughing, and tightness in the chest and shortness of breath. Avoid spicy, cold and greasy food. It is not suitable to take tonic Chinese medicine at the same time during the period of taking the medicine. Caution should be exercised in cases of Yin deficiency and dry cough. Prohibited for those who are allergic to this product, allergic individuals should be cautious.
Xiao Qing Long Tang relieves exterior cold (removing cold from the muscle surface), warms the lungs and resolves fluid (promoting the flow of stagnant fluid by warming the lungs). It is used for treating symptoms such as malignant cold (fear of cold) and fever, headache, no sweating, wheezing and coughing, and sputum that is scanty and copious.
2. Other treatments: Cold in the lungs can also be treated with acupuncture or fire-cupping by a professional physician on the Lung Yu point, Tian Tu point and other points, which can help remove cold in the lungs.
3. General measures: patients need to moderate aerobic exercise every day, such as walking, jogging, swimming, jumping rope and so on. In addition, patients should pay attention to keep warm and avoid prolonged exposure to humid environment or prolonged exposure to rain.
If the patient is not feeling well, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, and the doctor will choose the appropriate treatment measures according to the patient’s condition.
