Patient's question:
For two or three years now, I've been experiencing light coughing without phlegm as the main symptom. I've taken some medications, both Chinese and Western, but none have shown significant improvement. Sometimes I cough severely for a period, then it gets better for a while. It's especially worse when I have a slight cold. I suspect it might be a stomach problem. I'd like to know if chronic coughing is related to stomach issues?Doctor's answer:
Chronic cough symptoms may be caused by the lungs having impaired descending function, leading to the lungs being unable to expel properly. You may consider taking Tong Xuan Li Fei Wan. For patients with stomach diseases, in addition to active treatment, it is important for patients to maintain a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood greatly assists in the complete recovery from the disease. In daily life, it is recommended to eat more nutritious fruits and vegetables, pay attention to exercising regularly, and ensure proper warmth.
