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, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Could you please tell me which acupressure points to massage for a cough?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be a wind-cold cough, which is caused by exposure to wind-cold. This syndrome is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, slight fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that regulate qi and resolve phlegm. Allergic cough generally does not resolve on its own with age. It is recommended to first check for allergens and avoid contact with them in the future. Additionally, you can take Cetirizine orally to see if it helps. Avoid irritating foods, maintain a light diet, and gradually, the condition will improve.
