All internal organs can cause cough, not just the lungs. If the cough persists for a long time, you can try this method.

Cough is a common symptom in life, and common exogenous cough can be treated by traditional Chinese medicine of expelling wind and resolving phlegm, relieving exterior syndrome and dispersing lung. But the cough we are going to talk about today is chronic cough, which lasts for more than a month and is characterized by persistent and repeated cough. Many patients with chronic cough can not be relieved by using antibacterial drugs, expectorant cough and other western medicines. In fact, most chronic coughs have nothing to do with infection and do not need antibiotics.

The treatment of cough is mainly "lung", such as dispersing wind and clearing lung, moistening dryness and relieving cough, dispersing wind and clearing heat, dispersing lung and resolving phlegm. However, chronic cough is mostly caused by internal injuries, and the method of eliminating evil and benefiting the lungs can not achieve satisfactory results. Huangdi Neijing says that "it is not just the lungs that make people cough, but the internal organs", which means that the part of chronic cough is not only in the lungs, but also closely related to the dysfunction of spleen, stomach, liver, kidney and heart.

With the improvement of modern people's living standards, the diet structure is more and more abundant, especially when the weather is hot, people drink more and more frozen cold drinks, ice cream and preserved fruits. In addition, the lifestyle has also undergone tremendous changes. Many friends like to sit in the office or blow air conditioning at home all day. Once such friends cough, most of them are not easy to recover. Ask about the illness carefully. Cough may be low, accompanied by shortness of breath, chills and chills in the limbs. Look at the pale tongue coating, white greasy, soft pulse, or weak right pulse. Then what is the reason? That's because eating cold food for a long time has damaged the spleen and stomach yang. The lung belongs to golden crown, and the spleen and stomach belong to middle earth. According to the law of five elements, soil can produce gold, spleen and stomach are weak, and soil does not produce gold, which leads to lung deficiency and cough.

There is also a saying in Huangdi Neijing that "the spleen flourishes at four seasons and is not affected by evil". Some people may not understand this sentence, so I can give you an example to help you understand it. We compare the spleen and stomach to a piece of land. If this land is fertile, will the fruits and vegetables planted on this land bear fruit? If this is a desert, it can be said that nothing grows. If the land itself is fertile and the texture is tight, the clods will not be lost at will. If it is all sand and the texture is loose, the land will be easily lost when the storm comes.

So is the human body. Spleen and stomach are responsible for transforming Shui Gu's subtle, qi and blood, and transporting them to the whole body. If the spleen and stomach are insufficient, these nutrients cannot be transported to the whole body, and their own resistance is insufficient, and cough will naturally recur. If infusion treatment is still carried out at this time, it is equivalent to continuing to eat cold food and further damaging spleen yang, which will only make matters worse.

Said a bunch of pathogenic principles, and then talk about how to treat it. Since there is something wrong with the spleen and stomach, it is naturally beneficial to the spleen. Sijunzi decoction and Xiaojianzhong decoction can be used for addition and subtraction. If it is a patient with excessive phlegm, you can choose Liujunzi Decoction to add or subtract; If accompanied by loss of appetite and loose stool, you can choose Shen Ling Baizhu powder to add or subtract; If yang deficiency is serious, you can choose Lizhong decoction to add or subtract.

Finally, I would like to inform you that cough is not only caused by spleen and lung, but also by heart, liver and kidney dysfunction. Therefore, it is recommended to invite experienced Chinese medicine practitioners to see a doctor, and remember not to use the above prescriptions step by step.
