Abstract: Shomakakkonto is usually used for the treatment in patients with initial cold or dermatitis symptoms. We herein reported our experience with two cases of common cold accompanied by watery eyes and floating pulse that were successfully treated with shomakakkonto. The patients were an 81-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman who presented with common cold-like symptoms and watery eyes at our clinic, and were diagnosed with common cold of middle yang. Both patients were successfully treated with shomakakkonto. Common cold with watery eyes may be considered as an indication for treatment with shomakakkonto.
