There are many reasons for coughing, but Chinese medicine mainly divides them into two categories: hot cough and cold cough. It can also be divided into exogenous cough and endogenous cough based on the cause of the disease. The distinction between hot cough and cold cough is not as simple as the general belief that cough at night is a cold cough and cough during the day is a hot cough. It should also be carefully distinguished in conjunction with the four examinations and eight principles of traditional Chinese medicine. Hot cough can be divided into wind-heat and dry-heat cough. Wind-heat cough is mostly caused by cold and wind-heat, and is often accompanied by sore throat, chills and fever, nasal congestion, yellow nasal discharge, heavy and turbid cough, yellow and thick sputum, hard stool, red tongue with yellow coating, and slippery pulse. It should be treated by dispelling wind and relieving exterior symptoms, clearing heat and relieving cough. Commonly used medicines are mulberry leaves, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, scutellaria baicalensis, northern apricot, platycodon, peucedanum chinense, and fritillaria cirrhosa.
