Additional remarks:
Cough originates from the Lung.
Frequently contracting pathogens leads to asthma,
which is then cough.
The origins of the aforementioned various coughs, although different in etiology, ultimately involve the Qi reaching the Lung before manifesting. If cough occurs not due to seasonal pathogenic invasion, it is because of the decline of Zang-Fu Qi leading to disease.
