Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What could be the reason for my severe cough at night?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be a wind-cold cough, caused by exposure to wind-cold. This syndrome is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale red tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, body fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that lower Qi, resolve phlegm, and calm cough. It may be caused by bronchitis, requiring treatments such as infection control, phlegm removal, cough suppression, spasm relief, and asthma relief through aerosol inhalation. Engage in physical exercise to enhance your physical fitness and improve your immune function.
