Abstract:Professoer SHI Suofang believes that post-infectious cough is located in the lungs and involves the liver and spleen,with pathological factors mostly associated with the wind,phlegm and fire.Clinical treatment can be staged according to the course of the disease.Treatments at the initial stage focus on dispersing and penetrating,with the prescription mainly consisting of San'ao Decoction(三拗汤)and Chinese medicinals with light and floating properties.Treatments at the middle stage mainly aim at clearing stagnant heat,supplemented by dispersing wind and dissipating pathogen,commonly using Sangye(Mori Folium),Sangbaipi(Mori Cortex),Bohe(peppermint).Treatments at the late stage focus on clearing heat and nourishing yin,moistening the lungs and benefiting qi,with prescriptions such as modified Maimendong Decoction(麦门冬汤),Shashen Maidong Decoction(沙参麦冬汤)and Qinzao Jiufei Decoction(清燥救肺汤).At the same time,Professor SHI is also skilled in using"four wind medicinals"[Sangye,Juhua(Chrysanthemi Flos),Quanxie(Scorpio),Jiangcan(Bombyx Batryticatus)]to disperse wind,relieve spasms,and stop cough.For intractable post-infectious cough,Professor SHI follows the principles of individualizing treatment according to the person and the timing,often achieving good results.Two proved cases are attached.
