For cough with internal injuries, it can be divided into the following points: 1) phlegm and dampness in the lung, which should be treated with Er Chen Tang and San Zi Yang Yin Tang; 2) phlegm and heat in the lung, which should be treated with Qing Jin Hua Phlegm Tang; 3) liver fire in the lung, which should be treated with Baicalin Di Bai Tang; 4) lung yin deficiency, which should be treated with Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang. Clinically, for cough, it is necessary to carry out reasonable identification and rational use of medicine under the guidance of a doctor.
