Fan Letter] Dear Doctor, Hello! I'm a big fan of yours and I've been following your popular science articles. Recently, I've been experiencing symptoms of coughing and it seems a bit unusual. I looked at it and found that there are five different types of cough, which are dry cough, wet cough, phlegm-rich cough, irritating cough, and nocturnal cough. I would like to ask you, what type of cough do I have? Also, can you teach me an ancient Chinese medicine recipe to relieve cough symptoms? Looking forward to hearing from you!
Popular science answers] Dear fans, hello! Thank you very much for your trust and support. Regarding your cough questions, I will answer them for you in detail.
First, let's take a look at the five types of cough. A dry cough is a cough with no or very little phlegm, usually caused by a dry or irritated throat. A wet cough is a cough with phlegm, which can be clear, yellow, or green. Phlegm-heavy cough is when coughing is a cough with a large amount of phlegm, which often needs to be coughed up. An irritating cough can be caused by airborne irritants such as smoke, pollen, or dust. Nocturnal cough is a cough that appears only at night and may be related to sleeping position or narrowing of the airways.
According to your description, if you cough with phlegm, then you may be of the wet cough type. If the amount of phlegm is particularly large, then it may be a cough with a lot of phlegm. If the cough is caused by an irritant in the air, then it may be an irritating cough. If the cough occurs mainly at night, then it may be a nocturnal cough. Of course, this is only a rough judgment based on your description, and in order to make a more accurate diagnosis, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination.
Next, let me introduce you to an ancient Chinese medicine prescription to relieve cough symptoms. This ancient recipe is called "Erchen Soup", which is derived from the "Golden Kui Yaolu". Erchen soup is mainly composed of banxia, tangerine peel, poria cocos, licorice, ginger and jujube. This formula has the effect of drying dampness and dissolving phlegm, regulating qi and neutralizing, and is suitable for ** damp phlegm syndrome, with symptoms such as cough and phlegm, chest tightness and nausea.
The specific usage is as follows:
1.Wash the banxia, tangerine peel, poria cocos, licorice, ginger and jujube and set aside.
2.Put the above herbs into a pot and add an appropriate amount of water.
3.Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and fry for 30 minutes.
4.After the decoction is completed, remove the liquid and take it warmly in two parts.
It is important to note that Erchen Tang is suitable for damp phlegm syndrome, and if you have a different type of cough, you may need other corresponding Chinese herbal prescriptions. When using TCM** cough, it is best to do it under the guidance of a TCM practitioner to ensure that it is safe and effective.
Finally, I would like to remind you that cough is a symptom that can be a manifestation of several diseases. If your cough persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, such as fever and difficulty breathing, please go to the hospital in time for an accurate diagnosis and**.
Hope the above answers are helpful to you! I wish you good health and a happy life!
