Chronic cough is a clinical syndrome with a course of more than 8 weeks,with cough as the only or main symptom and no obvious abnormality in chest X-ray examination.Professor Qiu Zhinan has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of chronic cough by using the theory of“chronic diseases transforming to collaterals”.Professor Qiu believes that blood stasis obstructing the lung collaterals is one of the important mechanisms leading to chronic cough.On the basis of conventional treatment,the treatment of chronic cough with blood-activating and stasis-resolving drugs and insect drugs can activate blood and qi,remove phlegm stasis,dredge lung collaterals,and cure cough.
