Exploring the Treatment of Chronic Cough in Children with Huagan Decoction Based on the Theory of"Liver is Often in Super-abundance"
[Objective]Based on the theory of"liver is often in superabundance",to explore the treatment of chronic cough in children with Huagan Decoction.[Methods]By consulting ancient Chinese medicine books and modern literature,combined with clinical practice experience,starting from the connection between the theory of"liver is often in superabundance"and the physiological and pathological characteristics of children,this paper explores the etiology,pathogenesis,symptom characteristics and treatment rules of chronic cough in children,and explains the source,meaning and application of Huagan Decoction in children's chronic cough.An experimental case is also provided as evidence.[Results]The theory of"liver is often in superabundance"elaborates on the physiological and pathological characteristics of children.Physiological"superabundance"contains the gradual filling of children's positive energy,reflecting the physiological functional state of good growth and development in children.Pathological"superabundance"refers to the physiological"superabundance"that can be transformed into pathological"excess"under various factors,which is the pathological basis for the transformation of children's diseases to"easy excess".The exploration of the etiology of chronic cough in children is usually related to factors such as external pathogenic factors,dietary discomfort and emotional distress.The core pathogenesis is mostly liver depression transforming fire,wood fire punishing gold,and the symptoms are characterized by frequent spring,abnormal emotions,nocturnal attacks and a long course of disease.The key to the treatment of this disease is to regulate the liver,and combine various methods to treat the lung,so as to achieve the effect of liver and lung harmonization.The main function of Huagan Decoction is to soothe the liver and relieve depression,descend countercurrent Qi and dispel fire,which is in line with the core pathological characteristics of chronic cough in children,and it can be used with modifications according to clinical symptoms.The medical case listed at the end of the article was chronic cough in children,and the syndrome was liver depression turning fire and wood fire punishing gold.The main treatment was to relieve the liver fire and relieve phlegm and cough,and the use of modified Huagan Decoction had obtained better clinical effect.[Conclusion]The theory of"liver is often in superabundance"can be used to guide the treatment of chronic cough in children.The use of Huagan Decoction in the treatment of chronic cough in children is evidence-based and has significant therapeutic effects,which can provide broader ideas and methods for early intervention and treatment of chronic cough in children with traditional Chinese medicine in the future,in order to improve clinical efficacy.
