Abstract:
[Objective]To discuss the treatment of chronic cough with damp-heat syndrome after mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)in children from the theory of"sensation and response".[Methods]The philosophical basis and theoretical connotation of Chinese medicine were clarified by tracing back the theory of"sensation and response".Based on the theory of"sensation and response",the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic cough and damp-heat syndrome after MPP in children were analyzed from the four levels of Qi of nature,Qi of human body,Qi of medicine and food,and Qi of disease and evil,and the prescriptions and medicines were used,with a test case for proof.[Results]Based on the theory of"sensation and response",the pathogenesis of post-MPP chronic cough with dampness-heat syndrome in children can be attributed to the convergence of internal and external"dampness."This determination integrates multiple factors,including celestial heat,terrestrial dampness,summer climatic conditions and the annual host-guest Qi,the child's constitutional predisposition,pre-treatment status,and epidemic pathogenic influences.The therapeutic strategies should adhere to the principle of"sensation and response",emphasizing the differentiation of dampness-heat severity and its manifestations,followed by targeted elimination of dampness-heat from the tri-Jiao.For instance,in the case characterized by dampness-heat diffusing in the tri-Jiao with predominant dampness,the treatment approach involved dredging the tri-Jiao,resolving dampness and clearing heat through tailored modifications of Huopu Xialing Decoction and tri-Jiao Xuanbi Decoction.Clinical observations demonstrated favorable outcomes with this regimen.[Conclusion]The principle of"sensation and response"fundamentally guides the entire therapeutic process,from etiological analysis to treatment formulation in managing post-MPP chronic cough with dampness-heat syndrome.The primary disease mechanism involves the synergistic interaction between endogenous and exogenous dampness.The treatment should consistently adhere to the"sensation and response"approach,employing timely and situation-appropriate strategies to eliminate dampness-heat pathogens.Prescription selection must be based on careful differentiation of the relative predominance between dampness and heat manifestations.
