Traditional Chinese medicine can't cure 100 cough

Autumn is getting stronger, and the number of outpatients with cough and asthma is increasing Experts pointed out that autumn is the season of high incidence of upper respiratory tract infection, and also the season of high incidence of asthma Experts in traditional Chinese medicine remind that cough can be divided into cold cough and hot cough in traditional Chinese medicine Patients who like to use traditional Chinese medicine to relieve cough and asthma should use it according to syndrome differentiation Those traditional Chinese medicine with functions such as "relieving cough and resolving phlegm" and "relieving cough and asthma" marked on the package are not exclusive treatment of "cough" In addition, dry cough in autumn can be used for clearing heat and resolving phlegm, such as kechuanbei Pipa ointment, Runfei and relieving cough, and chenxialiujun decoction, Erchen pill, etc can be used for regulating lung, invigorating spleen, ningsou and eliminating phlegm Medical director / Xing Yujian, chief physician of the Department of traditional Chinese medicine of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University / reporter Huang Rongfang, correspondent Huang Xianjun, coughs in autumn: the most frequent and long-lasting coughs, according to Xing Yujian, chief physician of the Department of traditional Chinese medicine of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, are most likely to recur in autumn, and a cough is ten and a half days "The formation and recurrence of cough are the result of the comprehensive effect of many complex factors, and the factors inducing cough are increased in autumn." The first cause of coughing and recurrent attacks is inhalation, said Xing The inhalations can be divided into specific and non-specific, the former is dust mite, pollen, fungus, animal hair dust, the latter is sulfuric acid, sulfur dioxide, etc the dry climate in autumn may lead to the increase of all kinds of inhalations in the air and the inhalation of patients Secondly, cough is related to recurrent respiratory infection Xingyujian said that in patients with cough, there may be specific immunoglobulin IgE with antigens such as bacteria, viruses and mycoplasma If inhaled, the corresponding antigens can trigger cough Third, the phenomenon of cough attack caused by diet is often seen, especially for infants and young children who are prone to food allergy The most common foods causing allergy are fish, shrimp and crab, eggs, milk, etc Fourth, climate change itself is easy to induce cough, which is also the reason why cough is more common in cold seasons or climate change in autumn and winter Disease induction: cold, bronchitis, pneumonia and so on will induce cough According to Xing Yujian, it is necessary to note that some diseases are also easy to induce cough The first is the upper respiratory tract infection, which is the cold He said that because the virus enters the human body through the nose and throat, it will cause inflammation of the upper respiratory mucosa "Therefore, when children get a cold, they usually have cough symptoms." It's actually bronchitis The incidence of bronchitis is more acute At the beginning, it is mainly dry cough, followed by cough, expectoration and other discomfort In serious cases, due to dyspnea, hypoxia occurs, and the lips turn blue and purple The third is pneumonia He said that children under the age of two are mostly bronchopneumonia, mostly caused by upper respiratory tract infection or bronchitis "In general, there will be dry cough, shortness of breath, purplish lips and inflamed nose In addition to newborns, they usually have a fever of 39 ℃ The fourth is acute laryngitis "In addition to dry cough and throat pain, the most typical symptom of acute laryngitis is hoarseness and even inability to make a sound When inhaling the air, it makes a dog like cough, and when it is serious, it has a wheezing sound " Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: cold cough and hot cough are different from each other "Many cough patients, especially those with repeated attacks and long cough time, are more willing to take traditional Chinese medicine treatment." Fortunately, Yu Jian said, many patients mistakenly think that the antitussive traditional Chinese medicine marked with "relieving cough and phlegm", "relieving cough and asthma" and other functions can cure 100 "coughs" In fact, coughs in traditional Chinese medicine can be divided into cold cough and hot cough and asthma "Therefore, when choosing traditional Chinese medicine to stop coughs, it must be taken symptomatically." He said that if cold medicine is used for cough and asthma cold syndrome, it will "add frost to the snow", not only will the medicine be ineffective, but also delay the disease; if hot medicine is used for cough and asthma heat syndrome, it will "add fuel to the fire", often aggravating the disease How to distinguish between cold cough and hot cough? Xing Yu Jian said, if cough and asthma has phlegm, phlegm and white, or very thin, or foam, and quantity, at the same time, people feel afraid of wind and cold, this is mostly caused by cold chills and asthma "At this time, we should choose the traditional Chinese medicine of Xuanfei Sanhan Huatan Zhike, such as orange red tanke decoction, Hedan Chenpi oral liquid, etc." "If the cough and asthma phlegm is thick, hard and not smooth, yellow, or sore throat, dry mouth, it belongs to hot cough and asthma." At this time, we should choose Chinese patent medicine, such as Jizhi syrup, Shiwei Longdanhua granules and so on "In autumn, dry cough patients will increase, the main symptoms are no phlegm, dry throat, such patients can choose to treat cough, scallop, loquat cream and other Qingre Huatan, Runfei cough medicine." In addition, there is phlegm damp cough, which is mainly caused by the weak elderly It is characterized by heavy cough, sticky phlegm and gray white It is aggravated after eating sweet and greasy food, accompanied by chest tightness, less food, body fatigue, loose stool and other symptoms "At this time, it is advisable to use drugs for regulating the lung and strengthening the spleen, for example, Chen Xia Liu Jun Tang, er Chen Wan, etc." Fortunately Yu Jian also reminded that people with phlegm asthma should not take raw and cold food Xieyujian also pointed out that coughing and asthma should be divided into deficiency and excess, such as coughing caused by cold and acute bronchitis, which is caused by pathogenic factors Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to penetrating pathogenic factors and promoting lung function "At this time, don't worry about antitussive, because if you use antitussive drugs too early, it seems that the symptoms of cough will be relieved for a short time, but some patients may have discomfort such as chest tightness later." Tips: three therapeutic ways to eliminate dry cough are recommended by xingyujian: 1 Stewed pear with almond: take 15g of sweet almond, peel and break it, wash and slice one pear, put it in the same bowl, add 20g of rock sugar, put some water, stew it in water for 30min, take it every morning and evening for 3-5 days 2 Stewed pear with Fritillaria sichuanensis: take one pear and wash it, cut it crosswise, remove the core, put 6G of Fritillaria sichuanensis into it, then close the two pieces together, fix them with toothpicks, add 20g of crystal sugar into the bowl, put some water into it, stew it for 30min in apart from water, eat pear and drink soup once a day for 3-5 days 3 Ice sugar juice of Fritillaria Fritillariae: grind 5g of Fritillaria sichuanensis powder, put 20g of ice sugar in a bowl, add 150ml of water, stew for 20 minutes, once in the morning and once in the evening, take 3-5 times in a row.
