咳嗽者痰涎壅盛，外感风寒，热毒壅遏而不得发越，以致肺窍不通，始用和解散，回后痰多加川贝、胆
星，或麦冬、清肺饮。咳嗽者乃邪气上冲，痰滞不活之故，治嗽宜以治痰为先治，痰要以治气为本，用枳壳、
橘红以利其气而痰气自除，痰饮自消。清肺金，解热毒，而邪火自退矣。夫人身之津液所以资生精
血也，火毒煎熬，而津液不得流通，变为痰涎，胶固于中，致使正气被塞于胸膈，或喘或嗽或舌强不能言语，
或喉中作声乳汁难下，入口即嗽而吐出者，此毒瓦斯停滞于肺胃也，宜升发解毒，当以前胡、桔梗、复花、枳
壳、橘红，大力等药，以运动其痰。如先有痰在颈项者，不必妄治，即用生大力移之亦可。
呃逆者，气噎也。乃是胃枯槁而成，此下焦毒火郁于胃中，不得发越之故，非是阴火上升，根据胃而发也，
治宜用石膏、茯苓、麦冬、橘红、鲜斛、山栀、竹茹、九头兰、茉莉花、树上干桃等药。
毒伏于肾，肾传于腰，腰乃一身之关节也。毒火煎熬，肾水枯槁，水火失济，故腰疼也。初起用败毒散
（川羌、独活、前胡、柴胡、川芎、桔梗、升麻、干葛、甘草、青皮），若外感风
寒必兼头痛，亦用此药。两胁疼痛尚有余毒在中，阴阳之气不能升降，故作胁疼治，宜柴胡、枳壳、桔梗、
赤茯苓之类，使二便气流通而疼自止矣。
Cough is caused by the accumulation of phlegm and saliva, where external wind-cold pathogens and heat-toxin are constrained and cannot be dispersed, leading to the obstruction of the lung orifices. Initially, Hejie San (Harmonizing Powder) should be used; if there is excessive phlegm after the exterior syndrome resolves, Chuanbei (Fritillariae Bulbus), Dansing (Arisaematis Cum Bile), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), or Qingfei Yin (Lung-Clearing Decoction) may be added. Cough results from the upward rush of pathogenic factors and stagnant phlegm that fails to circulate. The treatment of cough should prioritize resolving phlegm, while the root of treating phlegm lies in regulating Qi. Using Zhike (Aurantii Fructus) and Juhong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum) to promote Qi circulation will naturally eliminate phagmatic Qi and dissipate fluid retention. By clearing Lung Metal and resolving heat-toxin, the pathogenic fire will subside. Body fluids nourish essence and blood; when scorched by fire-toxin, they fail to circulate normally and transform into sticky phlegm obstructing the interior. This blocks righteous Qi in the chest and diaphragm, causing wheezing or cough, tongue stiffness with inability to speak, sounds in the throat, difficulty in milk secretion, or immediate coughing and vomiting upon ingestion of milk. This indicates the stagnation of toxic vapors in the Lung and Stomach. Treatment should involve raising and dispersing while resolving toxicity, using Qianhu (Peucedani Radix), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Fuhua (Inulae Flos), Zhike, Juhong, and Dalili (Magnoliae Flos or specific local herb, here likely referring to a tonic herb like Millettia speciosa or similar contextually) to mobilize phlegm. If phlegm already exists in the neck, do not treat it recklessly; simply using raw Dalili can help move it.
Hiccups refer to the sensation of Qi obstruction. It arises from the withering of Stomach Yin, caused by toxic fire from the Lower Jiao郁结 (constrained) in the Stomach without dispersion, rather than being due to Yin fire ascending along the Stomach channel. Treatment should employ Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum), Fuling (Poria), Maidong, Juhong, Xianhu (Dendrobii Caulis), Shanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus), Zhuru (Bambusae Caulis in Taenia), Jiutoulan, Moli Hua (Jasminis Flos), and Shushang Gan Tao.
Toxic pathogens lie dormant in the Kidney and transmit to the waist. The waist serves as the joint hub of the body. Scorching by toxic fire leads to the withering of Kidney Water, resulting in a lack of interaction between Water and Fire, thus causing lower back pain. In the initial stage, Baidu San (Detoxifying Powder) [containing Chuanqiang (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Duhuo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix), Qianhu, Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Jiegeng, Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Gange (Puerariae Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Qingpi (Tangerinae Pericarpium Viride)] should be used. If accompanied by external wind-cold and headache, this same formula is applicable. Pain in both hypochondria indicates residual toxins remain within, preventing the normal ascent and descent of Yin and Yang Qi. Treatment should utilize Chaihu, Zhike, Jiegeng, and Chi Fuling (Poria cum Rubro) to facilitate the flow of Qi through urination and defecation, thereby stopping the pain.
