Chinese medicine treatment of pediatric cough is based on the following ideas: first identify the external sensation and internal injury, and then identify the nature of the cough, such as wind-cold, wind-heat, phlegm-heat, phlegm-dampness, qi deficiency, yin deficiency, and so on. 1. Exogenous cough is divided into wind-cold and wind-heat syndrome. Wind-cold cough is characterized by frequent coughing, itchy throat, cough sputum white and thin, nasal congestion and clear runny nose, fear of cold, no sweat, fever, etc., the treatment should be wind dispersal of cold and lung qi. Wind-heat cough is characterized by coughing loudly or turbidly, yellow and thick sputum, nasal congestion, yellow snot, thirst, sore throat, etc. The treatment should dispel wind and clear away heat, and open up the lungs. 2. Internal cough is divided into phlegm-heat, phlegm-dampness, qi deficiency and yin deficiency. Cough with phlegm-heat manifests as coughing up phlegm, phlegm is yellow and thick, not easy to cough up, shortness of breath, phlegmatic sound of breathing, irritability, yellowish and greasy tongue, etc. The treatment should clear away heat and remove heat from the lungs, and open up the lung qi. Cough with phlegm-dampness is characterized by coughing up phlegm, white thin phlegm, white greasy tongue, etc. The treatment should be drying dampness and resolving phlegm (expelling dampness by drying dampness and resolving phlegm), and clearing the Lung-Qi. Qi deficiency cough manifests as weakness, white and sparse phlegm, white face with no luster, shortness of breath, spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the day, aggravated by sweating with the slightest movement), etc. The treatment should be to benefit the qi, strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm to stop the cough. Yin deficiency cough manifests as dry cough without phlegm, or phlegm is small and sticky, or phlegm with blood in it, hoarseness, and heartburn and heat (heat in the hearts of the hands and feet, and self-consciousness of the heart and chest), etc. The treatment should nourish Yin and moisten the lungs to resolve phlegm and stop coughing.
