Abstract:
It is believed that the basic mechanism of cough associated with interstitial lung disease is collaterals deficiency with latent wind: the deficiency of the lung organs and lung collaterals is the basis of its pathogenesis, and latent wind in lung collaterals is the key mechanism of the cough which is difficult to cure. Treatment is based on the principle of supplementing deficiency and treating wind, dispelling the pathogens and unblocking the collaterals. Supplementing deficiency should supplement lungs, boost kidneys, and strengthen spleens to consolidate the root and banking up the origin, and regulate and tonify the lung collaterals; dispelling the pathogens should treat the internal and external winds at the same time, and taking into account the combined pathogens of phlegm, stasis and dampness to clear the stagnation of the lung collaterals.
