Patient's question:
After taking Western medicine for 7 days and Chinese medicine for 2 days, it still hasn't worked. Now, whenever I lie down at night, I can't stop coughing. The doctor said it's due to lung fire and tracheitis. I don't know what medicine to take now.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 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 and resolve phlegm.
