Myth 1: See cough to cure cough.
Have you ever had a cough that persists repeatedly, even if you take all the medicines that moisten your lungs and suppress cough, and insist on drinking pear soup every day, how can your cough not be relieved, or even worsen?At this time, you may fall into the misunderstanding of "see the cough and cure the cough". There are several special types of cough in clinical practice, which need to be "seen but not treated". For example, patients with "postnasal drip syndrome", nasal discharge often refluxes behind the nose or in the throat, and then the patient will manifest as a cough. In addition to "postnasal drip syndrome", airway sensitivities can also cause cough and require a combination of variant asthma**. If cough is often made after a meal, accompanied by acid reflux hiccups, it may be a cough caused by esophageal reflux, and the lungs and stomach need to be lowered at the same time**.
Myth 2: A cough is a cold.
Recently, there has been a high incidence of respiratory illness, often accompanied by cough. Different diseases have different symptoms of cough. The common cold is characterized by sensitivity to cold and fever is not obvious, and is divided into two types: wind chill and wind heat. The cough of the wind-cold cold is accompanied by white phlegm, while the cough of the wind-heat cold is often a sore throat with yellow phlegm. Mycoplasma pneumoniae cough is mostly a severe dry cough, and even coughing up to fractures may occur in clinical practice, and it may also be co-infected. The initial symptoms of influenza are mild cough, high fever, severe systemic symptoms, and mild respiratory symptoms. Later, the temperature subsides, but the cough persists, manifesting as a dry cough or phlegm.
According to the syndrome type of cough, TCM can be divided into five types: cold cough, wind cough, dry cough, phlegm cough and deficiency cough. "Cold cough" is manifested as a cough that worsens when feeling wind chill, and the cough of patients with chronic bronchitis is mostly chills. "Wind cough" is characterized by cough shortness of breath, itchy throat, sudden stop, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and cough variant asthma are mostly wind cough. "Dry cough" mostly appears in autumn, the climate is dry and drinking less water will cause dry throat cough, dry cough is mainly dry cough, or less phlegm and sticky, phlegm is not easy to cough up. At the same time, it is accompanied by dry oronasopharynx, dry stools.

"Hypothermia" is characterized by shortness of breath and lazy speech, accompanied by sweating, and a small amount of phlegm and cough.
Myth 3: Drink more pear soup if you cough.
Pears have the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, and drinking pear soup can indeed relieve cough, but not all coughs are suitable for drinking pear soup. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" once recorded that pears can not only clear the qi in the chest, but also dissolve the phlegm in the lungs and stop coughing in the throat. Therefore, pear soup is suitable for "wind cough" and "dry cough". "Chongqing Tang Essays" recorded: "Pears, regardless of shape, always have a small heart and fine meat, chew without residue, and the taste is pure and sweet." Therefore, it is better to use snow pear or Ya pear for cough suppressant.
The expert recommended a black plum rock sugar pear water tea recipe for relieving wind and dry cough. Use two black plums, an appropriate amount of pears and rock sugar to make a substitute tea. The black plum is flat and sour, and the lungs are relieved, the snow pear is moisturized and dry, the heat is cleared and the cough is relieved, the rock sugar is flat and sweet, and the stomach moistens the lungs. The specific method is to peel the pears and remove the seeds and cut them into small pieces and put them in the pot, then put two black plums into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water, turn to low heat after boiling, and turn off the heat when the pear flesh becomes soft and the soup becomes darker.
