Abstract:
Refractory chronic cough belongs to the category of "refractory cough" in traditional Chinese medicine， and it is believed that the root cause of intractable chronic cough is wind lodging in the spleen collaterals， with poor spleen yang and deficient kidney essence as the pathologic basis of the disease， which is present throughout the disease. The method advocated is to search the spleen collaterals and eliminate latent wind， warm the spleen yang and smooth the middle jiao， cultivate the kidney essence and consolidate the root， prescribed with modified Fuzi Lizhong Decoction （附子理中汤） plus Erxian Decoction （二仙汤） as the basis. The Fuzi Lizhong Decoction can warm yang and fortify the middle， and smooth the middle jiao， and the Erxian Decoction can cultivate the kidney essence and consolidate the innate. The two prescriptions could combine with Suye （Perilla frutescens）， Jingjie （Dysphania ambrosioides）， Fangfeng （Carum carvi） and other medicinals of cleaning characteristic， or combine with Gouteng （Uncaria rhynchophylla）， Chuanshanlong （Dioscorea nipponica）， Dilong （Kummerowia striata） and other medicinals of worm or cane category， to find the wind and expel pathogen， smooth spleen collaterals.
