Cough: fragile and prone to occur? Segmented conditioning? Eliminating phlegm and treating diseases?

? First of all, because the lung is a relatively "lovely" organ, it will not feel hot or cold, pain or touch. Frankly speaking, I don't feel anything. The biggest reaction to injury is coughing. Secondly, because individuals fail to make timely and appropriate "responses" to their reactions, more and more injuries are gradually caused. A doctor wrote, "Do you have to cough when you have lung injury?" Chronic cough due to spleen injury? Asthma caused by kidney injury (see Longevity Health Daily Traditional Edition, 201May 05, 19). Thirdly, phlegm without phlegm or different viscosity and color of phlegm have become the main characteristics of different stages. For example, the most common symptom in the early stage of lung cancer is cough, which is often manifested as paroxysmal irritating dry cough with no or little phlegm. This paper holds that except for cancer, children and adults should be recognized from the above characteristics, and then seek a series of prevention and treatment prescriptions, which are described as follows, for everyone's actual reference.

First, why is the respiratory tract so fragile?

? Many people can't unplug their throats when they feel cold. They are hot, dry and itchy, and they have a lot of phlegm. If they are not careful, they will keep coughing.

The respiratory tract is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper respiratory tract includes mouth, nose, throat and larynx, and the lower respiratory tract consists of trachea, bronchus and lung. Respiratory tract is the internal organ that people have the most contact with the outside world, and it is vulnerable to various external stimuli, such as cold, heat, dryness and infection. But the lung is a relatively lovely organ. It doesn't feel hot or cold, pain or touch. Frankly, I don't feel anything. The biggest reaction after injury is coughing. When the airway is stimulated, the nerve reflex will make the human body produce a series of actions: the glottis are closed, and the respiratory muscles contract rapidly to produce respiratory actions; Because the glottis are closed, the breath can't go out, and the pressure in the chest cavity rises sharply, thus pushing the glottis open; Then, the gas is ejected at high speed to take out the "bad" things in the trachea-this is the protective defense mechanism of the lungs. Therefore, coughing is not necessarily "sick", and coughing when you are sick is not necessarily a bad thing. It can help people excrete bacteria from their bodies and help them get better.

Of course, coughing is annoying. Cough during the day, cough at night, cough when talking too much, cough when inhaling cold air, some people will retch when coughing violently, which will affect sleep and even have pneumothorax. If the pleura on the lung surface ruptures, chest pain and suffocation will occur, which will be life-threatening in severe cases. Some patients with severe cough can cause loss of consciousness, which is called "cough syncope" in medicine. This situation is very dangerous when driving or working at high altitude. Therefore, patients with relevant medical history should go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment as soon as possible.

? However, when it comes to coughing, we must first distinguish whether it is a real cough. Some people call it "clearing their throat" to cough, usually once or twice, because they feel that their throat is uncomfortable or something is stuck; Common in smokers, mostly caused by pharyngitis. Real cough is mostly manifested as a series of continuous coughs. In medicine, cough can be divided into acute cough, subacute cough and chronic cough according to the length of cough.

Acute cough: cough within 3 weeks, mostly after infection, caused by colds, bronchitis and other diseases;

Subacute cough: 3 ~ 8 weeks of cough, mostly in elderly patients, mainly after infection;

? Chronic cough: Cough for more than 8 weeks, the main causes are cough variant asthma, postnasal drip syndrome (upper airway cough syndrome), eosinophilic bronchitis, gastroesophageal reflux cough, allergic cough, etc.

? When changing seasons, hot and cold alternate obviously. Many people don't pay attention to adding clothes and keeping warm in time. The decrease of immunity will create opportunities for bacteria and viruses to invade the human body, and then respiratory tract bacterial or viral infection will occur, and the incidence of cough after infection will be higher. At the same time, respiratory tract infection is easy to induce cough variant asthma. This is also the main reason why people think it is easy to cough in autumn and winter. Secondly, the dry and cold climate is not friendly to the airway, and the cold itself is a stimulus. Low temperature reduces the water content in the air, and the airway is more sensitive when it is short of water, leading to cough and wheezing. The nasal cavity can warm and moisten the inhaled air, but excessive dryness, mouth breathing and strenuous exercise may reduce airway humidity and increase airway sensitivity. There are also allergic factors, which can easily cause allergic cough, allergic rhinitis and asthma.

Why do you cough after respiratory tract infection? In fact, cough after infection is a respiratory symptom caused by airway inflammation repair. After the infection gets better, it can be cured simply by using antitussive drugs, and the course of disease is relatively short. The essence of cough variant asthma is the increase of airway sensitivity caused by chronic airway inflammation, which is non-infectious and can be induced by respiratory infection without taking anti-inflammatory drugs. It may or may not be allergic. Although it is called "asthma", the patient is not breathing and his lung function is normal. However, some patients will turn into typical asthma. Therefore, correct treatment can reduce the incidence of typical asthma.

It should be reminded that cough variant asthma, postnasal drip syndrome, eosinophilic bronchitis and allergic cough are all related to allergies to some extent. If you cough at the same time, you will have sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes and nose, tears and other symptoms. If you go to the hospital and find that eosinophils are high and total lgE (immunoglobulin E) is high, it is very effective to receive antiallergic treatment.

Why do diagnostic tests often choose CT? Theoretically speaking, lung CT is not a necessary examination to see cough, but doctors should first rule out some serious diseases, such as tuberculosis, lung cancer and bronchiectasis. The treatment of these diseases is mainly to treat the primary disease, not simply to treat cough. Doctors should first see if there is any disease in the lungs, and the best way to "see" the lungs is lung CT and X-ray chest film.

? Which is clearer, lung CT or X-ray chest film? Lung CT is relatively clear, X-ray chest film will produce many artifacts, and heart blood vessels and bones may also block the focus, so bronchiectasis and lung cancer are mostly diagnosed by lung CT, while infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and pneumonia can be diagnosed according to X-ray chest film.

? Must I take medicine to cure my cough? Many old people give medicine when they see their children coughing, saying "keep the disease down"; Some patients are afraid of tracheitis, and then turn into chronic cough, and take medicine as soon as cough appears. But as long as it is medicine, it will have side effects, especially for children. Therefore, if you don't have a bad cough, please don't take cough medicine in a hurry, but seek medical advice in time.

?

? Second, cough should be treated in stages.

Children's cough is generally caused by exogenous factors, so the correct way to treat cough should be to use the main force to remove exogenous factors:

Cough when you catch a cold and drink a cup of perilla leaf water.

This kind of cough appears almost at the same time as a cold, which is mostly caused by a cold attacking the lungs. The nose is clear and the sputum is white. Hands and feet are cold and afraid of cold, and some older children will feel headache as soon as they blow, especially near the bladder meridian in the back and the second half of the neck.

? You need 3 grams of perilla leaf water, put it in a pot, add two glasses of water, and boil it over high fire. Turn to low heat after boiling, turn off the heat after boiling for three minutes, and then stew for seven or eight minutes to drink. If you have a bad cough, you can also add a little orange to cook together. Attention, let the children eat something before eating. Take it on an empty stomach, lack of vitality, can't sweat, and cough is difficult to heal.

It's good to cough with cold outside and heat inside.

? At this time, the child's nose will turn yellow and sticky. Phlegm also began to turn yellow, some turned yellow alternately, but mostly yellow. Cough has a low voice, and you will hear phlegm in your throat or trachea. There are also children who cough without phlegm. In severe cases, they will have a sore throat, thirst and fever. Putting the back of your hand in front of your child's nose will make you feel very hot, which is called "hot air hand spray" in Chinese medicine. This is a cough caused by external cold and internal heat. If it is not controlled during this period, cold pathogens will enter the body, compete with healthy qi and gradually turn into heat.

? Cough caused by external cold and internal heat can be treated with Zhi Zhi syrup if there is no medical basis. However, Jizhi syrup is very thick and needs to be diluted with hot water before taking it.

Exterior heat cough is suitable for compound fresh bamboo juice.

? When exogenous pathogens completely enter the body, a school of heat syndrome will appear. High fever, runny nose, coughing up yellow phlegm, and sometimes even yellow-green. At this time, the cough is obviously deepened, and it feels like it is coming from the chest. There are still many "hissing" sound images that are bursting bubbles.

? At this time, you can take Chinese patent medicine compound fresh bamboo juice, which has a good effect of removing heat and resolving phlegm. But it must be that the child coughs a lot of phlegm, and the sputum must be yellow. This medicine is not suitable for cold syndrome with white phlegm and clear nose. Although the drug has a good expectorant effect, it can only eliminate symptoms, but it can't drive away exogenous pathogens. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with drugs for exogenous diseases, otherwise, although the phlegm will melt, the exogenous diseases will still exist, and once the drug is stopped, the sputum will regenerate. If the drug is stopped before the exogenous pathogens are removed, the child's condition will be repeated. However, if the child has obvious lung infection at this time, he should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

When the cough is just right, use mountain medicine to strengthen the spleen.

? After the child's exogenous pathogens were removed, the cough gradually recovered. In order to prevent and treat cough thoroughly, we should replenish the spleen for our children at this time. I recommend you to drink mountain potion. Choose 30 grams of Dioscorea opposita (this is the dosage of children over 5 years old, and children should reduce it), boil water instead of tea, and take it for two or three days.

If the child's stool is not shaped, he can even eat yam meat. If the stool is dry, drink mountain potion. Because yam has the function of astringing stool. If the stool is severely dry, it is necessary to add 6 grams of almonds when boiling the mountain potion, because almonds can ventilate and facilitate defecation. Note that this yam must be dried, not the yam in the vegetable market.

When you cough quickly, it is hot. Cough, cough, a bowl of stewed pears with Chuanbei.

Some children have a hot cough when they cough quickly. Cough has no phlegm or less phlegm, but it is sticky and often a dry cough. Red tongue, dry stool, fever in hands and feet, yellow urine.

Recommend stewed pear with Chuanbei. Three grams of Fritillaria cirrhosa powder and one Fritillaria cirrhosa powder from Pak Lei were selected. Dig out the pear core, put the fritillary bulb powder in, and then cover it. Put the pears in a bowl, add some water, steam in a steamer for about 30 minutes, take out the bowl to warm up, eat pears and drink soup. Note: After a cold, most cold pathogens still exist. It is often the children who are too hot, or have recently got angry, or the weather is hot in summer and autumn, and the heating in the north is hot in winter.

Soaking feet for catching cold and relieving cough powder when coughing fast.

? At this time, cough enters the fourth stage of returning to the cold. At this time, the sputum is less, or it turns white again, and the nose is innocent. The nasal sound is still a little heavy, slightly stuffy, and I cough occasionally. At this time, the internal heat has disappeared, and the cold evil has also retreated to the body surface. At this time, you only need to use a little medicine to spread the lung and ward off evil spirits, so as to help your body continue to eliminate external evil spirits.

? 3 grams of Schizonepeta tenuifolia, 6 grams of dried tangerine peel, 6 grams of platycodon grandiflorum, 6 grams of Rhizoma Cynanchi Stauntonii, 6 grams of Radix Asteris and 6 grams of Radix Glycyrrhizae are selected. This is the number of children over five years old, and the number of children should be reduced. Boil the water for 10 minute, then add warm water to soak the child's feet twice a day for 15 minute each time. Two or three days. This prescription must be used after the child has recovered from his cold, but it should not be used if he still has a cold.

?

? Wu: In the process of serious study and practice, in addition to feeling that "the plan can be handled calmly", adults' self-physical and mental health has also gained greater benefits! For example, when children have early performance, the whole family's diet, such as white radish, houttuynia cordata, pears, oranges, lilies, mushroom chicken soup, three-ao soup and so on. They all started at the same time, often with the feeling of quick results and less tossing, bringing calm and controllable happiness to the whole family. May all families be happy and healthy!

? Third, isn't it all because of the lungs? Treatment of strange cough based on TCM syndrome differentiation

The ancients called the sound without phlegm a cough, while the cough with phlegm was called a cough. Cough without phlegm is often called dry cough in clinic, and cough with phlegm and sound is collectively called cough. Cough is the main symptom of respiratory diseases, but it is not always caused by the lungs. When the internal organs are sick, it will affect the lungs.

? Heart cough: when coughing, the heart and chest ache, there seems to be a foreign body blocking in the throat, and even a tumor in the throat. Treat with Qingxin Lianzi Decoction, and add and subtract according to the condition.

? Liver cough: when coughing, the hypochondriac pain, even the body can not turn, if you can sideways, the liver area is full and uncomfortable. Treat with Shugan Hewei Pill.

Cough in summer: cold and cough in summer, less phlegm, body heat and thirst. Treat with Huoxiang Zhengqi Decoction, and add and subtract according to the condition.

? Next, attach a copy of "The First Decoction of Coix Seed Lily Runfei Zhike Decoction" related to the "Daimeng" lung original point:

Fourthly, resolving phlegm can treat many diseases.

? Phlegm is the pathological product of abnormal body fluid metabolism and the pathogenic factor of many diseases. Phlegm in traditional Chinese medicine often includes visible sputum discharged from coughing and vomiting, as well as invisible sputum scattered in all meridians and viscera of the whole body. "All diseases are born of phlegm", which also means that resolving phlegm can prevent and treat many diseases.

Lung disease. The phlegm discharged by coughing is mainly divided into hot phlegm, cold phlegm and wet phlegm. One of the most representative is hot phlegm, which generally has symptoms such as yellow and thick phlegm and yellow and greasy tongue coating. Most of these people suffer from lung diseases such as pneumonia and asthma. Treatment often adopts the method of "clearing heat and resolving phlegm" and uses drugs with lung moistening and cough relieving effects. Commonly used prescriptions include Qingqi Huatan Pills.

Obesity. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that obese people have more phlegm because obese people have weak spleen and stomach, which hinders water and moisture metabolism and also affects digestive function. This kind of obesity is actually a kind of puffiness, which needs to be treated by eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm or invigorating spleen and resolving phlegm. The commonly used prescription is "Erchen Decoction", that is, dried tangerine peel and Pinellia ternata. It should be reminded that obese people should dialectically resolve phlegm. This kind of prescription is mainly suitable for obese people with thick and greasy tongue coating and shapeless stool.

Stroke. Stroke patients are often gluttonous and obese, or obese, leading to dampness and phlegm, phlegm and blood stasis. Chinese medicine believes that obese people who often eat fat meat are prone to hemiplegia. Generally, the method of resolving phlegm and dredging collaterals is used for treatment. The most common prescription is Huatan Tongluo Decoction, which is mainly composed of Concha Haliotidis, Herba Taxilli, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae and Rhizoma Pinelliae, and can be decocted for oral administration.

Hypertension (dizziness). Hypertension, which is often said in Chinese medicine, is mainly manifested as dizziness and dizziness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "no phlegm, no dizziness" is precisely because of uncontrolled diet and spleen and stomach injuries that lead to dizziness, chest tightness, vomiting and other discomfort. The commonly used prescription is "Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction", which is mainly composed of drugs such as Banxia, Poria, Baizhu, etc.

Insomnia Chinese medicine believes that insomnia is mostly caused by emotional or visceral imbalance and disharmony between yin and yang. These people are characterized by excessive phlegm, chest tightness and greasy yellow tongue coating, which are mostly caused by phlegm-dampness stagnation and poor qi movement. Through the treatment of "Wendan Decoction", the effect is better. Wendan decoction is mainly composed of ginger, Pinellia ternata, dried tangerine peel and bamboo shavings. If the patient is uneasy, you can also add some poria cocos as appropriate to calm your mind.
