Chronic Cough
If you have been to a specialist because of chronic cough and you’ve taken a lot of medication but your doctor still can’t find the source of your cough, then it’s time to consult with a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
Unlike mainstream doctors who examine the symptoms to target the affected organ and produce a diagnosis, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner will conduct a more holistic examination to come up with a diagnosis.
When diagnosing the cause of chronic cough and to be able to provide a proper prescription, a herbalist will conduct a thorough examination to find out which of the 12 primary organs are imbalanced and whether the yin and yang energies are in tune with each other.
After diagnosing the patient, the herbalist will then prescribe a list of herbs that the patient needs to take to relieve a chronic cough. Many herbalists also have the herbs stocked in their facility, so the patients do not need to a separate herbalist to buy their medicine.
Each case is unique so the length of treatment may vary from one person to another depending on the severity of the case.
Some patients experience relief from their symptoms after several weeks, while others may need to take Chinese herbs for several months or more.
Acupuncture can be used along with Chinese herbs to treat chronic cough. Treatment of chronic cough also begins with an extensive diagnosis by the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
The length of treatment also varies from one patient to another, depending on the severity of the case

A vicious cycle occurs, mainly with frequent colds and severe cold symptoms. The chest is particularly painful and you may install sleep with a cough attack at night.
Dry cough is a typical symptom of chronic bronchitis.
The cough caused by a normal cold may be recovered within 2 weeks.
Chronic cough is more than two weeks, while cold symptoms such as runny nose, fever and fatigue are accompanied.
Chronic cough is one of the symptoms that occur when the function of the circulatory system decreases.

Depending on your physical condition, it can be divided into a severe case in the morning and in the evening.
Due to weakened bronchial function, coughs may even occur intermittently in the cold wind.

Sinus
Sinus that visits at the turn of the season is usually allergic sinus, but it can be seen as a respiratory disease that occurs while causing a hypersensitivity reaction from a specific substance.
Causes include most animal hair and mold, house dust, mites, pollen, and dust.
