《黄帝内经》说,久咳不愈,病邪会传入三焦。三焦咳嗽的症状是:咳嗽时面部和腹部胀满,不想吃东西和喝水。寒气聚集在胃,并波及到肺,使人多流鼻涕和唾液,并且出现面目浮肿、气机上逆的情况。肺主司气,外合皮毛,而气的循环运行于脏腑之间,流注于经络之中。如果肺气虚弱,风邪乘虚侵袭,就会导致肌肤腠理闭塞,使气机在内壅滞,与津液相互搏结,无法宣发疏泄,攻冲溢出于皮肤,所以导致咳嗽和面目浮肿。

The *Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic) states that if chronic cough persists without resolution, the pathogen transmits to the Sanjiao (Triple Burner). The manifestations of Sanjiao cough include coughing accompanied by fullness in the face and abdomen, and a lack of desire to eat or drink. Cold qi accumulates in the Stomach and spreads to the Lung, causing excessive nasal discharge and saliva, facial and ocular edema, and rebellious Qi. The Lung governs Qi and corresponds to the skin and hair. Qi circulates among the Zang-Fu organs and flows through the meridians. If Lung Qi is deficient and Wind pathogen invades, the skin and pores become obstructed, causing internal Qi stagnation. This stagnant Qi combines with body fluids, preventing their dissemination and excretion. The fluid overflows into the skin, resulting in cough and facial edema.
