Cough is mainly due to the invasion of the lungs by wind-heat or wind-cold evil qi, which makes the lungs unclear and undeclared.

Cough is not only a disease, but also a manifestation of many diseases. Generally, cough is "phlegm without substance", and cough is "phlegm without sound", and the two often appear at the same time.

The main symptoms are severe cough, coarse breath and hoarseness, dry throat and mouth, unpleasant sputum cough, yellow and sticky sputum, accompanied by fever, chills, headache, thirst, runny nose, thin yellow tongue coating, etc.
