I am a TCM doctor. The problem, in my opinion, is simply that the cold didn't go away. It's just that the disease progressed inward.

In Chinese medicine, a common external cold is a disease obtained after feeling wind-cold.

Many of the treatments that are available nowadays are not allowed.

The correct treatment is wind-cold, evil from the outside, we have to send out the wind-cold, in fact, it is through sweating to relieve the surface of the method, this is also the method left by our ancestors.

Sweat ah, the cold is well, the disease what disease is also no longer. But now a lot of methods are not such a treatment, are just to control the symptoms.

Or there are some treatments with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to press this disease in, the symptom surface symptoms are gone, however, the disease is going inward.

So many illnesses become chronic coughs, chronic bronchitis, chronic asthma, chronic laryngitis, and so on. Many people think that the cold is well, but it becomes a chronic disease.

I've experienced this myself, and these chronic illnesses simply seem to me to be the result of a bad cold that wasn't cured.

How can we treat the fact that it has become so? Then we can go through the basic dialectics of Chinese medicine, dialectics, that is, is this disease cold or hot? Is it deficiency or reality, etc.

Is there still wind-cold or wind-heat in there or not, and if so, just treat the symptoms.

If there is an itchy throat or a cough caused by gas upward, the color of the phlegm is white, this time can often are still wind, there is wind and cold. Then you only need to warm the lungs to disperse cold, to disperse wind and cold methods, warm the lungs can be cured this cough.

Then if the disease is long, some people become hot, then become lung heat, phlegm is yellow, this time then with the use of clearing the lungs to stop coughing method of treatment.

I wonder which category your mom's case falls into? Chinese medicine treatment always always looks at the individual's specific situation and then identifies the right treatment.

Of course there are some cough remedies or small ways to stop coughing, but such methods are ultimately on the limited side and can not properly cure all diseases.

I'm a Chinese medicine two goat, a little bit of advice, I hope it can help you.

Text/Headline: The Milkman's Practice

Cough, a common symptom, some children do not have a fever, it is at night or in the morning a violent burst of dry cough, suffocated in the cold air, smell what smells will trigger a cough, take any medicine has no effect to this situation to consider whether the child suffers from cough variant asthma, which is a special type of asthma. What kind of cough should be seen in the emergency room? Parents should pay attention to the following conditions:

Coughing accompanied by fever, rapid respiration, nodding of the head while breathing, flapping of the nose and bruising of the lips, loss of appetite, and poor mental health are signs of pneumonia, which can lead to heart failure and respiratory failure if it develops further.

:: The child's voice is hoarse when coughing, the cough sounds like a barking dog, the larynx sounds like a siren when inhaling, and in severe cases, even the air cannot be sucked in, and the lips are blue, which is a manifestation of acute laryngitis. This is a sign of acute laryngitis. The disease progresses quickly, and laryngeal obstruction may occur.

:: If a child is playing with something in his mouth or eating, and suddenly develops a choking cough, difficulty in breathing, or purple lips, this indicates that a foreign body has been inhaled into the trachea.

Pneumonia, laryngitis and foreign bodies in the trachea can be life-threatening and should be hospitalized immediately.

Why do some children have a chronic cough or always cough at night?

A child's cough that lasts for more than 4 weeks or is repeated is called chronic cough. The reason is that there are persistent foci in the body, and if the foci are not cleared, the cough will be difficult to cure. There are four common causes of cough: ① Rhinitis and sinusitis caused by repeated colds. The main manifestation of frequent nasal congestion, runny nose. ② bronchitis manifested in the morning cough sputum, yellow sputum, the throat has a whistling phlegm sound. ③ Chronic pharyngitis, tonsillitis. The manifestations are sore throat, enlarged and red tonsils. Asthma and cough variant asthma. The main manifestation is long-term chronic recurrent cough, paroxysmal severe dry cough, the heaviest cough at night. In addition, there are some rare diseases such as tracheal foreign bodies, tuberculosis, whooping cough, etc. can lead to long-term cough.

Don't mistake a cough for a disease.

There are many parents who think that their children are sick when they have high fever or stomach ache, and they go to the doctor, get injections and take medicines. But if the child coughs, many parents simply do not take this seriously. Coughing, the leader to make a report before the loud and clear cough, which is a disease? Do not know that coughing is likely to be the precursor of a variety of diseases, check and do not check, treatment and treatment, early treatment and late treatment, the end can be a big difference in the pediatrics clinic, due to chronic cough to consult a lot of children. The youngest is only 1~2 years old, the eldest is in his teens, because of the cough for a long time, parents are often very anxious, take the child to see a doctor everywhere. Despite the use of various antibiotics and cough suppressants, the cough is still recurrent and persistent. Coughing itself is a protective reflex action that is beneficial to the body. It can help expel foreign bodies and protect the airway. But there are also many adverse effects, such as affecting sleep, physical exertion, and in severe cases, can also cause pneumothorax, emphysema and bronchial dilatation, etc. Nine out of ten chronic coughs have a clear cause, and if the patient can be timely consultation, the doctor will be able to detectives to solve the case, trace the root cause of the disease, find out what is lurking in the patient's body, and to take proactive therapeutic measures, it is completely curable. So the child cough for more than 2 weeks, do not hastily drink some cough medicine, more can not be ignored, must go to the hospital, in the doctor's help "to find out the truth". That is to say, to catch the thief first, find the "culprit", targeted treatment, you can achieve the best results. Microbial infections can be treated with a variety of anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antifungal therapy; rhinitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis caused by cough, but also to treat the original disease; dust, pets and other allergic cough caused by allergens as long as the allergens away from the almost "medicine is not sick to get rid of".

There is a cough called allergic cough

Doctors often come across children's mothers ask: child cough, in the past to eat some anti-inflammatory drugs cough medicine, three to five days will be fine, but now almost 2 months, some doctors say it is the upper respiratory tract infection, some say that it is bronchitis, eat a lot of drugs do not work, and how to take care of it can not be. There are many reasons for coughing. In acute coughing, bacterial and viral infections are the main causes. In chronic coughs, allergies are the main cause. This kind of cough is medically known as allergic cough. The latter is a persistent inflammatory response of the body to antigenic or non-antigenic stimuli, and the patient often has persistent or recurrent cough. If this kind of allergic cough is not diagnosed in time and actively treated, some patients may develop asthma symptoms or even typical asthma. Therefore, another name for allergic cough is cough variant asthma. Allergic cough is most common in children who have allergic constitution and allergic diseases (e.g. allergic rhinitis, asthma, etc.) in their immediate family. Since the bronchial mucosa of the child is highly sensitive, external stimuli, such as respiratory tract infections, irritating gases, dust, cold air, certain foods, etc., can cause allergic cough. This disease can occur in children of any age, with no obvious seasonality, and is basically characterized by a recurrent or persistent cough that lasts for more than one month, is worse at night and in the morning, and is aggravated by exercise, crying, and exposure to certain irritants (cigarettes, pollen, pesticides, etc.). Most children have an irritating dry cough, some with phlegm. When the cough is severe, a wheezing sound can sometimes be heard in the lungs, and there are usually no signs of fever or infection. Another characteristic is that antibiotics are not effective, while asthma medicines and anti-allergy medicines can stop the cough. To diagnose allergic cough, in addition to the characteristics mentioned above, the child's skin test for allergens is often positive, and elevated immunoglobulin E in the blood can be used as an adjunct. At the same time, the diagnosis can only be confirmed after the doctor has ruled out other organic diseases. Since allergic cough is a potential form of asthma in children, it can help to prevent asthma from occurring if it is detected early and treated correctly. For the treatment of allergic cough, Western medicines such as albuterol, Boliconi, montelukast, ketotifen, etc. can be used under the supervision of a doctor, and Chinese medicines can also be used.

What to do if your child has a lot of phlegm

(1) prevent the production of phlegm: phlegm has inflammation, the cause of inflammation is not only bacteria, viruses or allergies, the application of different methods to eliminate these causes, the inflammation produced by them also does not exist, there is no inflammation will not produce phlegm, which is the fundamental treatment of phlegm. Many parents tend to ignore this point, only to give phlegm medicine, not anti-inflammatory drugs, only to raise the soup to stop the boiling, not the bottom of the fire, how can expectoration?

(2) dilute phlegm, promote phlegm discharge: drink more water or inhalation of water vapor through the nose, with ultrasonic nebulizer inhalation is also possible, these methods can be wet respiratory tract, so that phlegm becomes thin, only phlegm becomes thin, it is easy to discharge. In fact, let the room maintain a certain degree of humidity is also the same reason. In addition, the Chinese patent medicine Fresh Bamboo Leak and Expectorant Spirit have the dual function of anti-inflammatory and phlegm-resolving, which are good medicines for treating children with heat and phlegm. If the phlegm is thick and sticky and not easy to get rid of, there are medicines to dissolve the sticky phlegm, such as acetylcysteine and aminobromine, so you may want to try them.

Finally, parents are reminded not to use strong cough suppressants when their children have a lot of phlegm. Otherwise, the phlegm will be retained in the lungs, causing pneumonia.

Cough caused by colds, sometimes accompanied by yellow phlegm, this time you can buy a strip of radish, cut in half (solid better), with a knife to hollow out its heart, built-in sugar and orange cake, placed in a bowl, placed in a steamer, to be ten minutes, that is, there is a nectar flow, eat even with the juice with the meat, the efficacy of the best. The elderly phlegm cough or children whooping cough is also very effective. White radish can transform phlegm and smooth gas, orange cake can produce zhentian cough, rock sugar is cool and lower the fire, this is all know, and now the collection of all together with, of course, the effect is conceivable.

Colds are one of the most common ailments in modern times, some people are not in very good health, and will catch a cold several times a year, and once a cold occurs it is very easy to develop coughing symptoms, which are often caused by bronchitis due to colds.

medication

Bronchitis caused by colds is a very serious condition, and if not treated promptly and effectively it can turn into chronic bronchitis, which plagues the patient's body for a long time and leads to coughing.

Bronchitis cough must be treated with medication in a timely manner to be effective.Generally speaking, the treatment of bronchitis needs to take anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalosporin to carry out the treatment, it is best not to use the sedative effect is very strong cough medicine, otherwise it may lead to central nervous system inhibition, aggravate the inflammation of the respiratory tract, leading to the severity of the disease.

Wear plenty of clothes to avoid catching cold

Bronchitis is the most afraid of cold, so if you have a bronchitis cough, it is best to do a good job in time to keep warm, when you go out, be sure to dress well, to protect the neck, to avoid because of the cold wind and cool air attack caused by bronchitis flare-ups, resulting in aggravation of the cough.

Pay attention to your diet.

Cold, bronchitis attack, must pay special attention to diet, can not eat too greasy food, avoid eating spicy stimulating food, fish and other hairy things must also refuse to eat, only dietary attention can play a good conservation effect, so that bronchitis does not aggravate.

Keeping the living environment clean and hygienic

Bronchitis is a kind of disease that will cough more than once when stimulated. It is necessary to maintain good hygiene in the room, keep the temperature and humidity suitable, open the windows frequently to ventilate the room, and do not let the environment in the room be dirty, so as to avoid the stimulation of the cold air, dust and so on, resulting in more than one cough.

In short, the cold occurred bronchitis, cough more than must take timely measures to deal with it, only to deal with appropriate, bronchitis cough can get better as soon as possible.

Thanks for the invitation. I'll answer from a TCM perspective. Just put yourself in the right place. Colds are exogenous diseases, and after entering the lung meridian, if there is no surface evidence, they will enter the interior of the body. The treatment is according to the TCM internal medicine "Cough" dialectic.

1 cough first see if there is a sore throat, there are more than hot, no not hot. The sore throat with double huanglian, Qingkailing, silver bushes detoxification tablets and so on. The pain can not be used to clear the heat of such drugs.

2 Cough to see if there is phlegm or not.

⒈ phlegm ① yellow phlegm is heat (into the heat). Use compound fresh bamboo lee, lung force cough, clear lung anti-inflammatory pill, cattle and yellow snake gallbladder and Sichuan shellfish liquid. For white phlegm, it has not transformed into heat. Use Ling Gui Cough and Asthma Capsules, etc.

Peculiarities without phlegm, dry throat is injured yin, sometimes the surface evidence has not been resolved, not yet into the inside can also be no phlegm. Use Golden Fruit Drink, Nourishing Yin and Clearing Lung Pill, Strong Pei Pa Koa Nu, Ox-Huang Snake Gall Bladder and Chuan Bei Liquid, and so on.

If there is little phlegm, and it has not entered the lungs (there is still superficial evidence, either present or absent), we can use San'ao Tablets, Jiuwei Shuangjie Oral Liquid, Tongxuan Lung Pills. If some of the phlegm injures the yin, use Nourishing Yin and Clearing Lung Pills.

Singing is a good way to identify which one is stronger when it comes to cold or heat, or which one is causing the cough. This will help you to recognize the severity of heat and cold. If the heat is severe, add medicine to clear lung heat, such as Antelope Lung Clearing Pills, while if the heat is not severe, use Tongxuan Lung Clearing Pills.

Be careful with or without wheezing. If there is wheezing, add drugs with ephedra. However, pay attention to the patient's heart rate and blood pressure, use with caution if too high or too fast.

If selections are accompanied by qi deficiency, use ginseng-su tablets.

Regularity: ① Generally with heat are added to clear lung-heat medicines, clear lung anti-inflammatory pills, Yinpu detoxification tablets, Shuanghuanglian and so on.

This disease has more heat and less cold. After the external infection into the interior of the more heat, only a small part of the body due to the reason does not melt or heat less.

③ As these drugs are mostly cold, some patients may have thinning stools after taking the drugs, which is normal.

Example: The patient has a cough, sore throat, yellowish sputum, wheezing, and drier stools than usual. (Tongue and pulse not mentioned here). Prescription: Qingkailing + Qinglong Anti-inflammatory Pill + Niuhuang Snake Gall Bladder and Chuanbei Liquid. This is sufficient.

You can combine prescriptions for coughs by looking up what I have listed.

I'm TCM Random Thoughts, follow me if you like.

I have had a painful lesson, a fatal blow, and more remorse than words can express about this issue. I don't want to answer this question head on, but just want to tell you what I've experienced first hand and hopefully it will speak to you.

My old partner, who is over seventy, suffered from bronchitis at an early age, and his cough worsened every winter, especially after a cold'. Later, she also contracted tuberculous pleurisy, which was cured after half a year by hospitalization and continued medication at home.

So for her coughing people are generally not in their minds, thinking that it is an old problem, take some medicine and it will be fine, no big deal. It is because of the domination of this kind of thinking, which led me to my old partner committed a heinous crime that is difficult to make up for.

A month ago, the old lady coughed again, went to the doctor to prescribe some medicine, ate the effect is not obvious, and there is a worsening of the seedling. Daughter called from out of town, asking about her mom's condition, I said it doesn't matter ...... on the past.

Then she went back to the village health center to hang up the needle, and after a few days of hanging it up, it seemed to be getting better, and the rural people were afraid of spending money, so she stopped it again. As a result, it didn't work again, so she went to hang it again. This time, she hung up for five days in a row, and it still didn't work. Finally, she was sent to Xi'an by her daughter for examination.

This time, I went to a tertiary care Chinese medicine hospital, and the person asked to be hospitalized. After filming and examination, tuberculosis was initially suspected but not diagnosed. It was finally diagnosed as tuberculosis through tracheoscopy.

Doctors said that according to the condition of the judgment only less infection has been six months, must be transferred to a specialized tuberculosis hospital for treatment.

It was like a thunderbolt, screaming at the top of my lungs. That's the first big stick that God punished me with.

Transferred to a specialized hospital, the eldest daughter was not good health, coupled with the mental overburden, the body appeared abnormal reaction, manifested as gas blockage chest suffocation, it seems to wait for her mother is really not able to do. There is no way to hear that you can hire a caregiver, strong for the support of the night, the next day in the hospital to kindly introduce a caregiver, although the January even the wages with meals and other, January down is more than 10,000 yuan, that there is no way to do, only this way!

Sadly, after the medication was prescribed, due to the side effects, my partner developed liver problems, had trouble eating, and had no taste in food. He had no choice but to stop the medication and go on liver preservation therapy. Before this, the doctor revealed that the old partner has signs of drug resistance, is being further confirmed. I did not know that God was so cruel, but it was true, and I could not escape from drug resistance, which was the second big stick that God punished me with.

People always say that the sky is the limit, but I don't think God is giving me any way out at all!

By the way, tuberculosis is not a terrible disease, it can be cured, but it is an infectious disease, can not contact with people, can not see their loved ones, how depressing and lonely, to say the truth is even worse than prisoners!

My partner is weak and drug-resistant, so the most effective first-line drugs for treating tuberculosis cannot be used, and I have heard that the second-line drugs are not only less effective, but also have more side effects. After I read this, I had two lines of tears, and I could only pray for my old partner, wishing God's blessing, so that my old partner can use the medicine smoothly, and get through one hurdle to count one hurdle. If she can't even get over this hurdle, what kind of cure is there to talk about? As for the intensive period of six months, six months is six months, just be patient! Anyway, I've been tortured by this hard blow after hard blow, and I've become so weak that I don't look like a human ghost anymore.

Here, I sincerely advise those who have respiratory disease friends and family, to me as a negative example, to learn the irreparable painful lessons, never careless, have a disease in time to see, can not only think of the benefits of this pit is not allowed to fall down, fall down will regret a lifetime, can not be repaired!

First of all, we know that coughing is not a bad thing, coughing can get rid of phlegm in the body, but excessive coughing, especially at night, seriously affects the quality of sleep, how to do?

First, according to the amount of phlegm, whether there is fever and other underlying conditions, you can use cough suppressants and phlegm removers, such as Mucosolvan, or Asme, one to suppress cough and the other to resolve phlegm. Secondly, you can use traditional Chinese medicine, such as Luo Han Guo, and make tea to drink. Third, if you can not solve the problem, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, do not delay, otherwise it will only get worse and worse, there is usually strengthen the nutrition, prevent cold and warm, avoid exertion, usually can be taken orally Yupingfeng particles, strengthen immunity, auxiliary positive qi oh!

If you are in Hangzhou, I suggest you go to Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to find this doctor, expert. The service is very good. I have been coughing for half a year did not get well, finally found her, gave me two courses of Chinese medicine A month, it is completely well. The prescription is shared with you. I hope it can help you.

If the cough is prolonged after a cold, then it is recommended that you use theTraditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment.

In fact, this is a lack of understanding of Chinese medicine.Acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, gua shaThese are all TCM treatments, and even the use of Chinese medicine hasTonics, pills, plastersThe difference.

Cupping:When we were young, if we had a cold and cough, our family would give a fire cupping on our backs. Often the night hit the fire cupping sleep, the 2nd day the disease is well. So cupping is very effective in treating cough. Acupuncture points can be chosenLung Acupuncture and Anointing of the Heart. These two points are very effective in treating chronic coughs that have not been cured for a long time.

Proprietary medicines:There are many proprietary Chinese medicines for treating coughs, but the exact medicine to choose depends on the patient's(TCM) heat and cold, deficiency and realityThese to judge. In general for coughs caused by external wind-cold, you can use theStopping Cusp and Fruit Pills or Tongxuanliang Pills, for coughs caused by liver fireAntelope Lung Clearing Pills, phlegm-heat cough can choose orange red pill.

These medicines or methods described above can be used on their own. If the effect is not obvious, then it is best to find a Chinese medicine practitioner for diagnosis, dialectic treatment of a few pairs of tonics.
