Discussion on the Treatment of Cough Caused by SARS-CoV-2 Infection from Shaoyang Theory
[Objective]To explore the idea of Chinese medicine treatment of cough caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.[Methods]Starting with the physiology and pathology of Shaoyang,the location characteristics of Shaoyang,the relationship between Shaoyang and phlegm and fluid retention is explained,and the clinical symptoms of cough after SARS-CoV-2 infection,which can be linked with Shaoyang syndromes are also analyzed.Then,the corresponding treatment methods are summarized and a clinical case is cited for corroboration.[Results]Incomplete relief of symptoms during the acute phase and the transmission of evil to Shaoyang are the main reasons for the persistence of cough caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.While in the subacute and chronic phases of cough,there is often a combination of phlegm,drink and dampness.Cough caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection is often accompanied by itchy airways,dry throat,bitterness or lack of taste in the mouth,loss of smell and taste,dizziness,and in some cases,post-infection anxiety,which is characteristic of Shaoyang disease.Therefore,this paper proposes that the cough after SARS-CoV-2 infection can be treated from Shaoyang,where Shaoyang-Taiyang syndromes,Shaoyang integrated drink and Shaoyang integrated damp-heat are more common,and some manifest as Shaoyang-Shaoyin syndromes.The attached clinical case described as"Shaoyang-Taiyang with phlegm drink"cough,was cured rapidly through harmonizing and dispelling Shaoyang,removing exogenous wind and cold,warming and transforming water-rheum.[Conclusion]Most coughs after SARS-CoV-2 infection are caused by evil offending Shaoyang and are closely related to phlegm,drink and dampness.The treatment needs to identify the combination of Shaoyang and other meridians as well as the combination of disease and evil to provide clinical ideas.
