How Chinese Medicine Treats Upper Airway Cough Syndrome

Airway Cough Syndrome belongs to the category of “cough” in Chinese medicine, and can be chosen from Er Chen Tang with Cough Stopper, Qing Jin Hua Phlegm Tang and Er Chen Tang. Er Chen Tang with Cough Stopper: For wind-phlegm cough, Er Chen Tang with Cough Stopper can be used to dispel wind and phlegm and stop cough. For wind-cold cold with obvious symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose, add Cang Er Zi San. Qing Jin Hua Phlegm Tang: For cough with phlegm-heat caused by prolonged unresolved evil, add Qing Jin Hua Phlegm Tang to clear the lungs and resolve phlegm (clearing lung-heat and resolving phlegm-heat) to relieve cough. Add Sangbaipi and Scutellaria baicalensis for obvious signs of heat such as yellow phlegm and sticky phlegm; add Burdock and Sagittaria japonica for obvious redness, swelling and pain in the throat due to heat toxins. Er Chen Tang: If the spleen is deficient and dampness is prevalent, add Er Chen Tang to strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm, purge the lungs and stop coughing; if further phlegm and stasis paralysis occurs, add medicines that activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis (to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis in the body). Chinese medicine treatment of upper airway cough syndrome requires evidence-based treatment, and it is recommended that patients must go to the hospital to be prescribed by a professional doctor for treatment. The adverse reactions or contraindications of the above drugs are not clear, and should be used under the guidance of a doctor, do not diagnose and prescribe drugs without authorization.
