Hello everyone, I am Dr. Zhang, when it comes to autumn and winter communication, the elderly and children have a lot of coughs, so cough, in our traditional Chinese medicine, it is expected that phlegm will be healthy. It is to quickly determine what kind of cause is caused by phlegm, and then recuperate. Today, Dr. X is here to teach you how to distinguish these kinds of phlegm from traditional Chinese medicine, what is the cause of it, and how to treat it
First of all, the first kind of white phlegm is the most common one, that is, when coughing at the beginning, coughing up white phlegm, white phlegm is the main one, and the cough is because the weather has changed in autumn, the cold air blows, the cold blows, the rain, the cough that appears after the cold, coughing up white phlegm, this is the cough caused by the invasion of the lungs by wind and cold.
The second type of phlegm is yellow phlegm, which is also white phlegm at the beginning, but after three or five days, it begins to cough up yellow phlegm, and most of this situation is wind phlegm, which is the wind cold cold turned into a wind heat cold. If you cough up yellow phlegm at the beginning, it is a cough caused by wind and heat hitting the lungs, if the white phlegm is extended, the tongue is usually white, and if the yellow phlegm is extended, the tongue coating is yellow, you can refer to the use of clear lungs to benefit fire, if it is a child, you can refer to the use of children's lung fever cough to clear the lungs and regulate yellow phlegm.
The third kind of phlegm is dry cough, or less phlegm, and sticky, then in this case, it is dry and evil to hurt the lung yin, and the water is dried up, at this time the cough is mainly dry cough, or the cough is only a little bit of this sticky phlegm, then in this case, we use more methods to moisten the lungs, such as autumn pear paste or honey refining loquat paste, or can nourish the lungs and yin, or can refer to lily solid gold, this kind of yin and lungs, usually, you can also use Chuanbei to stew pears, or lily wheat winter and the like, they all have such a help to moisten the lungs and nourish yin and relieve cough。
The fourth kind of phlegm is white in color, with a lot of phlegm, it is easy to cough up, and a large amount of white phlegm can be coughed up with a cough, and there is also unformed stool, digestive function is also reduced, the stomach is still relatively fat, and the head always feels groggy, then this situation is because the phlegm and dampness caused by spleen deficiency are too heavy, and the phlegm and dampness are contained in the lungs** There is such a problem, so don't just treat phlegm, you must strengthen the spleen. You can refer to Erchen Jiaping stomach, which is helpful for a lot of phlegm caused by spleen deficiency and a large amount of white thin phlegm.
The fifth kind of phlegm is to cough up pus and bloody sputum, and the stomach is smelly, and the phlegm is yellow pus, so be careful at this time, it belongs to pulmonary carbuncle in traditional Chinese medicine, because the evil of heat and poison invades the lungs, and the problem of pulmonary carbuncle appears. In Western medicine, it is pneumonia. In this case, it is recommended to find a doctor as soon as possible and carry out a conditioning under the guidance of the doctor.
