Exogenous cough can be cured in a short time because of its mild condition. But people with exogenous diseases, such as dryness and dampness, are a bit difficult to treat. Because of dampness, dampness is trapped in the spleen, and for a long time, spleen deficiency accumulates dampness and produces phlegm, and internal injuries turn into phlegm-dampness cough; And those who fall into dryness-evil will have dryness-evil, body fluid will be damaged, and over time, lung yin will fail, which will turn into cough due to yin deficiency and internal injury to lung dryness. Cough caused by internal injuries is often a chronic and recurrent process, and it is deep and difficult to treat quickly, but it can be cured as long as it is treated carefully. If cough syndrome is not treated properly, whether it is exogenous cough or internal injury cough, its prognosis will always turn from excess to deficiency, and the combination of excess and deficiency will go from lung to spleen and kidney. As the saying goes, the lung does not hurt the spleen and does not cough early, and the kidney does not hurt the asthma. Some patients' conditions gradually worsen, even involving the heart, which eventually leads to lung, heart, spleen and kidney deficiency damage, phlegm, water, qi stagnation and blood stasis, which makes the condition persistent and even evolves into flatulence.
