《巢氏病源》小儿咳逆候∶咳逆由乳哺无度，因挟风冷伤于肺故也。肺主气，为五脏上盖，在胸间。小儿啼，
气未定，因而饮乳，乳与气相逆，气则引乳射于肺，故咳而气逆，谓之咳逆也。冷乳冷哺伤于肺，搏于肺气亦
令咳逆也。

According to *Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Master Chao) regarding the syndrome of infantile cough with reversed qi (Ke Ni): Cough with reversed qi is caused by unregulated breastfeeding, which leads to wind-cold pathogens damaging the Lung. The Lung governs Qi and serves as the uppermost cover for the five Zang organs, located within the chest. When an infant cries, their Qi is unsettled; if breastfeeding occurs immediately, the milk and the rebellious Qi clash. The Qi draws the milk into the Lung, causing coughing and upward reversal of Qi, which is termed "cough with reversed qi." Additionally, cold milk or food damaging the Lung and clashing with Lung Qi can also induce this condition.
*Qian Jin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) formula for treating cough with reversed qi and shortness of breath in infants and adults, characterized by rapid breathing in the chest, coughing up nasal discharge and saliva, and expectorating foul-smelling pus.
Boil Dan Zhu Li (Bamboo Sap from Burnt Bamboo) twenty times until boiling. Infants take one He (approx. 20ml) per dose, five times daily. Adults take one Sheng (approx. 200ml) per dose, five times daily. This does not interfere with normal eating, resting, or breastfeeding.
