Chinese medicine has good efficacy in treating cough caused by bronchopneumonia. It is best to combine Chinese and Western medicine to treat both the symptoms and the root cause, which can shorten the treatment period and improve the efficiency of treatment. Chinese medicine treatment should distinguish between positive, evil, deficiency and actual. External coughs are mostly actual symptoms, and the main focus is to dispel evil and benefit the lungs, which are divided into wind-cold, wind-heat and wind-dry symptoms. In internal coughs, most of the coughs are caused by actual evil and deficiency, so the main focus should be on eliminating the evil and stopping the cough, while the main focus should be on supporting the deficiency and replenishing it. If you have a traumatic cough, you should prohibit drugs that astringent to the lung and suppress cough, otherwise it will cause the lung qi to be undeclared, resulting in aggravation of the disease. In internal coughs, we should avoid methods to promote the lung and disperse the evil, while antibiotic drugs and expectorants can be used to assist in the treatment.
