[Case study]One case of a nighttime cough

The patient, male, in his 60s, was the same person who had previously coughed with blood. He reported that he was not feeling well after the booster injection (the third injection) recently. At that time, his body was sore, which has now been relieved. But started coughing again. The difference is that the cough this time is more severe when lying down at night and getting up in the morning. He rarely coughs during the day, but could not sleep well at night because of the cough. Itchy throat. There is little phlegm, and occasionally there is a small amount of dark pale phlegm. No dry mouth, no thirst, no chest tightness and discomfort, no fear of cold or wind. The stool is regular, and the energy level is good, without irritable emotion. The tongue is a moist and thin coating, with slight tooth marks, and the tongue body is slightly red. The pulse is floating, and the Guan/Chi pulses are tight and taut.

The symptoms described by the patients are quite a few, and the major diagnosis information is from the tongue and pulse. The main pathogenesis of this disease is no longer Feiyong in TCM as last time, but phlegm-water cough. At the same time, the patient has certain signs of lung heat and liver exuberance. Therefore, the classic formula** is used to solve the pathogenesis of phlegm-water, and the modern formula from Li Baohe is used to further soften the liver, nourish the yin and clear the lung.

After 7 days of dosage, the patient reported a very good effect after use, and the symptoms disappeared.
