Wind-cold carrying Phlegm-Fluids causes disease: spontaneous sweating, aversion to cold, asthma, chest fullness, shortness of breath, thirst with little desire to drink, vomiting after drinking, worse night cough, orthopnea (unable to lie flat). Use Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Blue Dragon Decoction) removing Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) and Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum), adding Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) and Guangpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) to move fluids and descend rebellious Qi.
