Practical Manual for Family Cough Treatment (Internal Injury)
1, phlegm and dampness accumulate in the lungs.
What's going on here? In other words, the body initially nourished the internal organs, including the lungs, through the transportation of the spleen to Shui Gu's subtleties. However, due to improper diet, or excessive drinking and smoking, or overeating, or spleen losing health, spleen can not metabolize water and dampness normally, and spleen dampness is formed for a long time. Spleen dampness produces phlegm, which infects the lungs and inhibits lung qi, leading to cough.
Cough symptoms caused by phlegm-dampness accumulating in the lung include: repeated attacks, heavy and turbid cough, chest tightness and suffocation, aggravated cough in the morning, excessive phlegm, sticky phlegm, white or grayish white phlegm, and chest tightness relieved after expectoration. In addition, the body also has many characteristics of phlegm-dampness constitution: fatigue, abdominal distension, eating less, irregular stool and white greasy tongue coating. This kind of cough can also be understood as cold-dampness cough.
Treatment: eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm, regulating qi and relieving cough.
Recommended medication: Chen Er Pill+Sanzi Yangqin Decoction (taken at the same time).
Prescription of Chen Er Pill: Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Poria and Radix Glycyrrhizae. Efficacy: eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm, regulating qi and regulating stomach.
Prescription of Sanzi Yangqin Decoction: stir-fried perilla seed 6g, stir-fried radish seed 6g and stir-fried white mustard seed 3g. Boil the water, boil it into 2 small bowls, and take it in the morning and evening (the dosage comes from "Help" of Luo Dalun).
The effect is to reduce qi and eliminate phlegm. Indications: frequent cough, heavy and turbid cough, multi-colored and white sputum, thick chest tightness, anorexia, heavy tired limbs and thick white tongue coating.
These two prescriptions are used together to treat cough caused by phlegm-dampness accumulating in the lung, and the effect is very good. Chen Er Pills are Chinese patent medicines, which are available in pharmacies. Sanzi Yangqin Soup, because it is easy to use, you can cook it yourself, and the effect is definitely the best. However, if there are no conditions, there are three kinds of pro-teas on the market, all of which have the same formula and can be used instead.
2. Phlegm-heat stagnation in lung
Phlegm-heat stagnation in the lung means that phlegm-dampness stagnation in the lung becomes heat for a long time, and the principle is the same.
The main symptoms are: cough, wheezing, fullness in chest and hypochondrium, accompanied by body heat, red tongue, yellow or greasy fur. In addition, the body also shows many heat syndromes: red face, body heat, dry mouth and sticky, want to drink water, red tongue. This kind of cough can be understood as damp-heat cough.
Treatment: clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, dispersing lung and relieving cough.
Recommended drug: Hong Ju Pill.
Hong Ju Pill is a Chinese patent medicine, which consists of Hong Ju, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Rhizoma Pinelliae (processed), Poria, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Radix Platycodi, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Perilla (fried), Radix Asteris, Flos Farfarae, Fructus Trichosanthis, Bulbus Fritillariae Thunbergii, Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Ophiopogonis and gypsum Fibrosum.
Exocarpium Citri Grandis, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Poria and Radix Glycyrrhizae are used for eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm. Trichosanthes kirilowii and Fritillaria thunbergii clearing away heat and resolving phlegm; Perilla frutescens reduces qi and phlegm; Aster and coltsfoot flower moisten the lungs, reduce qi and relieve cough, while Platycodon grandiflorum and bitter almond diffuse the lungs, reduce qi and relieve cough; Gypsum can clear lung heat; Ophiopogon japonicus and Radix Rehmanniae moisten lung and nourish yin. A variety of medicine combinations have the effects of clearing away heat, eliminating dampness, resolving phlegm and relieving cough.
3, liver fire invading the lungs
This kind of diseases are mostly caused by emotional stagnation, qi stagnation turning into fire, burning lung yin, or pathogenic heat accumulating in liver and gallbladder, attacking lung, lung disorder or lung collateral damage. To put it simply, I am coughing with anger!
Main symptoms: I want to cough when I am angry. When coughing, the face is red, the throat is dry and the mouth is bitter, the sputum is small and sticky, and the vomit is not clean. Symptoms will increase or decrease with mood swings. When you cough, you will have chest pain, red tongue or red tongue edge, and thin yellow tongue coating. In addition, there are many other symptoms of liver depression in the body: bitter mouth and dry mouth, frequent dizziness, cold and hot, poor appetite, chest tightness, frequent pain in the chest and hypochondrium, insomnia and dreaminess, irritability and irritability.
Treatment: clearing lung and purging liver, resolving phlegm and relieving cough.
Recommended medication: Xiaochaihu Granule+Chen Er Pill (taken at the same time).
Ha, there are Xiaochaihu granules again! That's because Bupleurum chinense and Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi in Bupleurum chinense can be used to clear the heat of liver and gallbladder meridians. Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Rhizoma Pinelliae and Poria in Chen Er Pill are specially used for reducing adverse reactions, eliminating phlegm and relieving cough, and are classic formulas for eliminating phlegm. Therefore, when the two drugs are used together to treat liver depression and cough, the effect must be balanced.
4. Deficiency of lung yin
If exogenous cough is not well treated, long-term cough will cause lung qi deficiency and lung yin loss. Or after the cold pathogen turns into heat, it burns lung yin, leading to lung yin deficiency.
The main symptoms are: dry cough, short cough sound, less sticky phlegm, or bloodshot; Low-grade fever, flush on the face in the afternoon, night sweats, dry mouth, red tongue and little fur. At this time, there will be some other symptoms of yin deficiency in the body: five-upset fever, poor sleep, night sweats, dry stool, yellow urine, sore waist and knees, red lips, poor patience and red tongue.
Treatment: nourishing yin and clearing lung, moistening lung and relieving cough.
Recommended drugs: Yangyin Qingfei ointment or Li Qiang loquat dew.
The formula of nourishing yin and clearing lung cream is: Rehmannia glutinosa, Ophiopogon japonicus, Scrophularia, Fritillaria cirrhosa, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Cortex Moutan, Herba Menthae and Glycyrrhrizae Radix. Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Radix Scrophulariae, Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae, and Radix Paeoniae Alba are all essence of nourishing yin, which has the effects of nourishing yin, clearing away lung heat, moistening dryness and relieving cough.
Li Qiang Balu's formula: loquat leaf, poppy shell, Stemona root, Cynanchum stauntonii, Cortex Mori, Platycodon grandiflorum and menthol. It is generally used for bronchitis and cough, but its efficacy is nourishing yin, astringing lung, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, so it can also be used for cough with insufficient lung yin.
Exogenous cough:
1, cold and cough. Cold cough refers to the cough caused by lung injury after the human body feels cold evil. The main symptoms are shortness of breath, itchy throat, white sputum, nasal congestion and runny nose, headache, limb pain, fever, chills, anhidrosis and thin and white tongue coating.
The key words to be grasped here are: itchy throat (heat is sore throat), clear nose, white phlegm and thin white tongue coating. If the tongue coating is thick and white, it is cold and wet, not only cold but also wet. (Cold and dampness plus Huoxiang Zhengqi water)
Treatment: relieving exterior syndrome and dispelling cold, dispersing lung and relieving cough.
At this time, if it is a decoction, Xiaoqinglong Decoction, San 'ao Decoction and Zhike Powder are preferred. But starting today, I decided to recommend Chinese patent medicine as much as possible, so that you can use it more conveniently and accurately in dosage.
The medicine I recommend for cold and cough is Xuan Tong Li Fei Pill.
Tongxuanlifei Pill consists of Folium Perillae, Radix Peucedani, Radix Platycodi, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Herba Ephedrae, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Rhizoma Pinelliae (processed), Poria, Fructus Aurantii (fried) and Scutellariae Radix. It is an agent for relieving exterior syndrome, and has the effects of relieving exterior syndrome, dispelling cold, dispersing lung qi and relieving cough. Indications: cold and cough, fever and aversion to cold, stuffy nose and runny nose, headache and no sweat, and pain in limbs.
Among them, the drugs for relieving exterior syndrome and dispelling cold are perilla leaf and ephedra, and the drugs for lowering lung and relieving cough are Peucedanum, Platycodon grandiflorum, bitter almond and Pinellia ternata, which are the most important. So in case there is no Xuan Tong Li Fei Pill in the drugstore near you, compared with these main drugs, almost all cough medicines in the world can be used (please carefully identify the symptoms and read the "efficacy" in the instructions in detail before buying).
2, hot cough. Hot cough is a cough caused by wind and heat, or a cough caused by cold pathogen internalizing into heat. The main symptoms are cough with yellow phlegm, sticky phlegm, sore throat, fear of wind, fever, headache and body pain, yellow runny nose, thirst, thin yellow tongue coating and other heat syndromes.
The key words to grasp here are: yellow phlegm, sore throat, yellow nose and thin yellow tongue coating. If the tongue coating is yellow and greasy, it means damp and hot, not only hot but also wet. (Shen Ling Baizhu Pill can be added for dehumidification)
Treatment: dispelling wind and clearing heat, dispersing lung and relieving cough.
For heat cough, the medicine I recommend is Maxing Zhike syrup or Kechuanning oral liquid.
Maxing Zhike Syrup consists of Herba Ephedrae, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Gypsum Fibrosum and Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata. Its main functions are relieving exterior syndrome, clearing away heat, lowering adverse reaction, relieving cough, eliminating phlegm and relieving asthma. Among them, ephedra can relieve exterior syndrome, bitter almond can reduce adverse reaction and relieve cough, and gypsum can clear heat.
Kechuanning oral liquid consists of Herba Ephedrae, Gypsum Fibrosum, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Radix Platycodi, Radix Stemonae, Papaver Shell and Radix Glycyrrhizae. Its main functions are dispersing lung qi, relieving cough and asthma. Symptoms include frequent coughing, yellow expectoration and shortness of breath. Ephedra, gypsum, bitter almond, platycodon grandiflorum, Stemona root and poppy shell are all used to relieve adverse reactions and cough.
Ephedra, gypsum and bitter almond are the main drugs in these two drugs. If you don't have these two medicines recommended by me, you can compare them with other cough medicines or try to use them. Please carefully identify the symptoms before buying and read the "efficacy" in the manual in detail.
3, dry cough. Dry cough refers to wind-induced dry cough. The main symptoms are dry throat itching, no phlegm or less phlegm, cough with phlegm, dry throat pain, dry mouth, dry nose and dry mouth, often accompanied by stuffy nose, headache, no sweat, fever and fear of cold. The tongue is red or white.
The key words to be grasped here are: dryness, no phlegm or less phlegm.
At this time, the treatment principle is: dispelling wind and clearing heat, dispersing lung and relieving cough.
The medicine I recommend for dry cough is Sangju Ganmao Tablet.
Sangju Ganmao Tablet consists of Mulberry Leaves, Chrysanthemum, Fructus Forsythiae, Herba Menthae, Radix Platycodi, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Rhizoma Phragmitis and Radix Glycyrrhizae. Its main functions are expelling wind and cold, dispersing lung qi and relieving cough. Mulberry leaves, chrysanthemum, forsythia suspensa, platycodon grandiflorum, bitter almond and reed rhizome have the functions of clearing away heat, nourishing yin and relieving cough. Mint is pungent and cool, which can disperse wind and heat.
Among them, mulberry leaves, chrysanthemum, bitter almond and mint are more important. So if the pharmacy doesn't have Sangju cold tablets, buy them according to these three samples. Please carefully identify the symptoms before buying and read the "efficacy" in the manual in detail.
In addition, the scope of use of some cough medicines we usually use is also briefly discussed here.
