It is believed that children's chest tightness variant asthma is mainly located in lungs and involves liver and spleen, and the core mechanism of the disease is disturbance of qi movement. On the basis of regulating qi, syndrome differentiation and treatment is conducted: for pattern of lung qi deficiency and cold, phlegm-fluid retention, the treatment is appropriate to tonify the lung and benefit qi, and warm phlegm-fluid, which commonly used in modified Yupingfeng Powder (玉屏风散) and Xiaoqinglong Decoction (小青龙汤); for pattern of phlegm and qi binding constraint, the treatment is appropriate to soothe the liver and resolve constraint, and dissolve phlegm and dissipate masses, which commonly used in modified Banxia Houpo Decoction (半夏厚朴汤) and Jinlingzi Powder (金铃子散); for pattern of qi deficiency and blood stasis, the treatment is appropriate to tonify the deficiency to reinforce healthy qi, and move qi to invigorate blood, which commonly used in modified Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (血府逐瘀汤).
