Abstract:Professor Wang Yanbin treats children with recurrent rhinogenic cough with carbuncle theory, determining special medicine and prescription by grasping the symptoms such as sticky nasal mucus, exacerbated cough when lying down or changing posture, and intermittent coughing. The pathogenesis is identified as heat stagnation in the lung, stomach, and gallbladder, leading to obstruction of the clear orifices. The treatment involves clearing heat, resolving carbuncles and expelling pus. Clearing heat and resolving carbuncles is approached by targeting the lung, gallbladder, and stomach, using reed stem decoction, Huodan pills and medicines which can promote digestion and harmonize stomach, respectively, with dandelion used in larger than usual amounts. For expelling pus, Angelica Dahurica and radices trichosanthis are used to reduce swelling and drain pus, and milkvetch root is used in larger than usual amounts to aid pus expulsion. The whole prescription attaches importance to the balance of cold and heat and avoids cold injuring the spleen and stomach. There is also special medicine and prescription for concurrent pneumonia and preventing recurrence, advocating for simple, effective, and affordable external treatments, and emphasizing nursing methods. The article concludes with four effective case studies, detailing how to identify the main symptoms and distinguish rhinogenic cough, as well as how to adjust medications according to different symptoms for verification.
