Etiologies of cough include: injury by wind-cold, retention of fluid-retention, fire depression, labor-induced cough, and lung distension.
"Cough" (Ke) refers to injury to Lung Qi, characterized by sound but no sputum. "Sputtering" (Sou) refers to disturbance by Spleen dampness, characterized by no sound but with sputum. "Coughing and Sputtering" (Ketan) refers to both sound and sputum, caused by injury to Lung Qi combined with disturbance by Spleen dampness.
The Lung is the canopy of the five Zang organs, the source of voice, externally connects with the skin and hair, and governs the couli (pores). Therefore, wind and cold can easily injure it first. If the couli are not tight and are affected by the four external pathogens (wind, cold, summerheat, dampness), it causes coughing.
Injury by Wind: floating pulse, nasal congestion, heavy voice, clear rhinorrhea, aversion to cold, fever, spontaneous sweating.
Injury by Cold: tight pulse, no sweating, aversion to cold, restlessness, absence of thirst.
Injury by Heat: rapid pulse, vexation and thirst with desire to drink, dry throat, sticky rhinorrhea and sputum.
Injury by Dampness: fine pulse, heaviness of the four limbs, painful and heavy joints.
These are injuries caused by the four external pathogens.
Alternatively, internal injury by the Seven Emotions affecting the Five Zang and Six Fu organs, transmitting to the Lung Meridian, can also cause coughing; it is not limited solely to the Lung Meridian.
The treatment method requires examining cold and heat, and distinguishing deficiency and excess. Cold is treated with warming methods; heat is treated with clearing methods; deficiency is treated with tonifying methods; excess is treated with draining methods.
For cough caused by retained fluid retention, one should clear heat and expel the fluid.
If negligence persists for a long time, it often develops into Lao Zhai (consumption disease) or Xu Sun (deficiency damage).
Regarding all these syndromes, careful consideration during clinical practice ensures clarity and complete cure.
