(Invited guest: Dr. Chan, General Practitioner)

Jingyue Quanshu said "six qi all make people cough, wind and cold is the main", meaning that wind, heat, dampness, fire, dryness, cold, these six qi will make people cough symptoms, and wind, cold is the main factor. So why does this phenomenon occur? This is actually an allergic reaction of our airways, and people with severe symptoms are called airway hyperresponsive.

Airway hyperresponsiveness is a condition in which the airways appear to contract too strongly or too early in response to various stimuli. If this stimulus is non-responsive or less responsive in normal people, but causes significant bronchial stenosis in some people, it is called airway hyperresponsiveness. It manifests as airway constriction causing coughing, wheezing, and dyspnea in response to external stimuli. Although the exact cause of this phenomenon is not known, it is generally recognized that airway inflammation is one of the most important mechanisms leading to airway hyperresponsiveness. When the airways are stimulated by osseous stimuli, airway hyperresponsiveness results from the involvement of multiple inflammatory cells, inflammatory mediators and cytokines, and damage to the airway epithelium and intraepithelial nerves. It has also been suggested that the endocrine secretion of a cell in the airways has an important role in the development of airway hyperresponsiveness. In addition, this phenomenon is associated with defects in the inhibitory function of certain of its own nerves. Diagnosis of airway hyperresponsiveness is required to go to the hospital for examination, when the airway hyperresponsiveness is serious to a certain extent, it becomes what we usually call asthma, which requires systematic treatment, and our general population will cough when inhaling cold air is also similar to the mechanism mentioned above, only that our symptoms will not be particularly obvious or will not last for too long, and once we get rid of the stimulation of the cold air or the stimulation intensity is weakened, our symptoms will become more pronounced. Once the cold air stimulus is removed or the intensity of the stimulus is reduced, our symptoms will be significantly relieved.

When it is cold, especially when blowing into the cold wind we will cough, will throat itch, do not immediately think that they are not a cold, is not the need to take medicine, which is often temporary, when we enter the warm environment will be relieved. But when you go out in winter, you still need to pay attention to keep warm, don't really have a cold and cough.

What we commonly refer to as cold is the discomfort caused by cold air and other factors, such as colds and flu. Then there are many kinds of coughs caused by cold air. The details are as follows:

1. Cough due to common cold: usually associated with postnasal drip. For those with severe coughs, central or peripheral cough suppressants can be used if necessary. For patients with cough due to common cold, dextromethorphan, codeine and other central cough suppressants have limited effect in relieving cough and are not recommended as routine medications.

2. Cough caused by acute tracheobronchitis: Cold air, dust and irritating gases can all be triggering factors for this disease. At the beginning of the disease, there are often symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, and then the cough may gradually intensify. The disease is often self-limiting, systemic symptoms can disappear within a few days, but the cough and sputum usually last 2-3 weeks. Most of them are also symptomatic treatment, severe dry cough can be appropriate application of cough suppressant, sputum but not easy to cough out the use of expectorant or mucolytic sputum dissolver can be relieved to a certain extent cough symptoms. Slow-release guaiac glycerin ether may relieve the symptoms of acute respiratory infections.

3, cough allergic asthma caused by: colds, cold air, dust and fumes, etc. easily triggered or aggravated cough, mainly manifested as irritating dry cough, usually coughing is more violent, night and early morning cough for its important features.

4, eosinophilic bronchitis: cold air, fumes, dust or odor is often a trigger for cough. Clinical manifestations are mainly chronic irritating cough, often the only clinical symptom, dry cough or cough a little white mucus sputum, mostly daytime cough, a small number of accompanied by night cough.

5, allergic cough: cough easily induced by cold air, fumes, dust, speech, etc., manifested as irritating dry cough, mostly paroxysmal, daytime or nighttime can cough, often accompanied by throat itching.

Thanks for the invitation to answer

Cold cough, generally for the upper respiratory system is stimulated by the cause, most of the fine bronchial inflammation, so we need to take some anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs, usually need to strengthen the exercise, improve immunity! If the bronchitis is long-lasting, you need to take injections to strengthen the immune system to achieve a complete cure.

Cough once cold, the big possibility is that the Chinese medicine perception of the external wind-cold cough cold cough.

Cough, Chinese medicine is considered to be internal and external diseases and evils offending the lungs, the lungs in order to get rid of the evils outside the produced a defensive physiopathological response.

Chinese medicine categorizes coughs into internal and external coughs, while external coughs can be divided into three types: wind-cold, wind-heat and wind-dry.

What is the experience of coughing when you get cold?

Once the cough is caused by wind-cold, the main symptoms are heavy cough, shortness of breath, itchy throat, coughing up sputum is thin and white, often accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose and other symptoms. The tongue is light in color and the tongue coating is white and moist.

The treatment for wind-cold cough is "evacuating wind-cold, promoting the lungs and relieving cough", and usually "Cough Relief" can be used to treat it.

Since we're talking about external coughs, let's move on to wind-heat coughs and wind-dry coughs.

The main symptoms of wind-heat cough include frequent and severe cough, thick breath, muffled cough, dry throat and sore throat, coughing up thick or thick yellow sputum, accompanied by yellow snot, thirst, fever and other episodes of heat. For the treatment of wind-heat cough, we can adopt the method of "dredging wind and clearing heat, dredging the lungs and resolving phlegm", and commonly used formula can be used to soothe the cough with mulberry chrysanthemum drink.

Symptoms of wind-dry cough include dry cough, choking, itchy throat, dry and sore throat, and no phlegm or less phlegm. For the treatment of wind-dry cough, we can use the method of "dredging wind and clearing the lungs, moistening dryness and relieving cough", and the therapeutic formula can be used, such as Mulberry and Apricot Soup.

What are the symptoms of an internal cough again? How should it be treated? How is it different from an external cough?

Coughs with internal injuries can be categorized into phlegm-dampness, phlegm-heat, liver-fire and yin-deficiency according to the nature of the "phlegm" and "fire" of the cough, and thus different remedies can be chosen for treatment. Therefore, cough should not be classified as hot cough or cold cough, but should be treated according to the time, rhythm, nature, sound and aggravating factors.

Generally speaking, external cough is relatively easy to diagnose and treat, while internal cough is generally chronic and recurrent process, the symptoms are deeper, and it is also difficult to cure quickly. Therefore, it is best not to buy your own medication, and without the proper diagnosis of a professional physician, sometimes private treatment will aggravate the condition.

When it comes to cough prevention, the first thing to do is to pay attention to the weather changes, and do a good job of preventing cold and keeping warm to avoid getting cold, especially in the summer, air-conditioned rooms should not be set at too low a temperature. Diet should also stay away from spicy, sweet and thick flavors, and do not eat cold food. Quit smoking and drinking is inevitable, through a reasonable and planned intensity of exercise, can enhance physical fitness, improve disease resistance.

Of course, sometimes or some patients with complex symptoms, cold and hot nature is difficult to distinguish, and cough for a long time, can be both external and internal injuries cough, this cough is even more difficult to regulate, which is more in the guidance of experienced physicians, to distinguish between cold and heat, deficiency, yin and yang and other conditions to dialectical treatment.

Hopefully, the above answer will help the subject and the readers to perceive the cough correctly.

Follow me, with a rigorous attitude, science and health; with love, to convey happiness.

The lungs are responsible for air and respiration. Respiratory diseases such as cough and shortness of breath are usually due to pathological changes in the lungs. Therefore, coughing on cold is generally considered to be a symptom of lung qi insufficiency. Lungs outside the skin and hair, guarding the outside is not solid, the coupling is not dense, muscle surface is not solid, the cold will take advantage of the weakness and injury to the lungs, resulting in coughing and wheezing, coughing up phlegm, nasal congestion and runny nose, easy to catch a cold, and so on. Lung and spleen disease for a long time, can cause each other, so the lung qi deficiency is often accompanied by the spleen loss of healthy transportation symptoms.

When a person with qi deficiency has insufficient positive qi, he can't drum the evil out after feeling the external evil, so it is necessary to use qi benefit in conjunction with antidepressant in order to attack the evil without hurting the positive, and to support the positive without loving the evil. Commonly used antidepressants are windbreaks, thorns, ginger, etc. Commonly used qi and yang-boosting medicines are astragalus and ginseng. Ginseng-Su Beverage is a representative formula for benefiting qi and relieving epidemiology, which can benefit qi and resolve phlegm, promote the lungs to stop coughing and relieve wind and epidemiology, and is suitable for those who have a deficiency of qi and are exposed to wind-cold.

In Chinese medicine, the lungs are a system that includes the lungs, the nose, the skin, the lung meridians, the nasal mucus, the sweat, etc. It is the "gold" system in the human body. The function of the lungs is to control respiration, and when lung disease occurs, the most common symptoms are coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and so on.

The lungs are directly connected to the outside world, and hot and cold stimuli from the outside world can cause discomfort to the lungs. Therefore, Chinese medicine calls the lungs "delicate organs", very delicate. Of course, the lungs are not delicate, but it is in contact with the outside world, is the body's "first line of defense". Lungs in the body, and human skin corresponds to the skin is the first line of defense.

It is written in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine: "The skin and hair are the joint of the lungs. Skin and hair first suffer from evil, evil from its combination. Its cold food and drink people stomach, from the lung vein up to the lung, then the lung cold, lung cold is outside the internal combination, the evil thus guest, then for the lung cough." It is because the skin, nasal orifices, etc. are stimulated by external evil qi that the evil qi eventually travels to the lungs and causes coughing.

In addition the Lung meridian does not start from the lungs but from the middle jiao. The middle jiao is the middle part of the body, where the spleen and stomach are located, and malfunctions of the spleen and stomach can also cause lung diseases. Moreover, the lung meridian "also follows the stomach" and directly contacts the stomach and epigastric region, so many people will cough more than once they eat cold drinks, which is the meridian transferring information.

Cough is a protective respiratory reflex action of the human body, through the cough reflex can effectively clear the respiratory tract secretions or foreign matter into the airway, but coughing also has a negative side, such as violent coughing can lead to respiratory bleeding, long-term, frequent, violent coughing affects the work, rest, and even cause laryngomalacia, hoarseness and respiratory muscle pain.

Cough after inhaling cold air, is generally a normal physiological stimulus response, first of all, the cold air itself is a stimulus, will stimulate your airways, cough response, will produce cough this situation, try to avoid cold air, if every winter is like this, and lasts more than three months, it may be chronic bronchitis, may also be a complication caused by chronic pharyngitis.

If it is not a physiologic irritating cough caused by a momentary cold air it is advisable to get a confirmation of the diagnosis sooner rather than later.

According to these conditions, it is recommended to take anti-cough asthma or Tongxuanli lung oral solution, avoid spicy, cold, stimulating food, pay attention to rest. I wish you good health.

If the cold cough, get rid of the cold on the well, eat wind-cold cold particles can be, ginger soup can also be, perilla fried ginger can also ......

First of all, cough is a human physiological response, common to foreign body stimulation, bacteria and viruses caused by bronchial lung inflammation and many other reasons. Chinese medicine in the ancient times do not recognize bacteria and viruses, just from the phenomenon of wind-cold.

Cold cough recognized by traditional Chinese medicine alone is that the body surface is bound by wind-cold, the lung qi can not be declared, resulting in lung qi cough qi upward. This is considered to be cold cough, specific symptoms are Cough, clear nose, nostrils impermeable, white tongue, white sputum, white foamy sputum, etc., generally to warm the published class of small blue dragon soup type of formula.

Thanks for the invite.

Cough is one of the most common symptoms of the respiratory system, is a protective measure of the human body, is beneficial to the organism, when the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract is stimulated by foreign bodies, inflammation, secretion, or allergic factors, that is, reflexively caused by coughing, which helps to exclude from the outside world to invade the respiratory tract of the foreign body or secretion, eliminating the respiratory tract irritant factors.

With the respiratory tract to air irritation reactivity is high related to the infection has little to do with the above situation first need to improve physical fitness, prevention of colds and flu, increase cold tolerance, compound theophylline tablets and other medication, the cough can gradually improve.

Dry cough caused by catching a cold is mainly due to the lack of air flow in the lungs caused by cold and lung qi deficiency.

There's also irritation-induced coughs, usually seasonal with allergies.

To pay attention to seasonal climate changes regulate your living habits. Usually to strengthen the physical exercise, supplement vitamin C, small molecule peptide to improve immunity.
