Professor WANG Shouchuan's clinical experience in using Polygonum cuspidatum to treat pediatric respiratory diseases in the south of the Yangtze River region is presented.Based on the geographical and climatic factors of"subsidence of the southeast part"and"hot and humid climate",combined with the common causes and physiological and pathological characteristics of pediatric respiratory diseases in the region,professor WANG be-lieves that"dampness","heat","toxin",and"stasis"are common pathological factors for pediatric respiratory dis-eases in the area.Regardless of whether the patient's condition is caused by a single factor or multiple factors,whether it is in the acute or remission phase,and whether it belongs to the yang or heat syndrome,Polygonum cus-pidatum can be used for treatment.Good clinical efficacy has been achieved through the methods of clearing heat and detoxifying,clearing lungs and resolving phlegm,clearing heat and draining dampness,and promoting blood cir-culation and dispersing stasis.One proven case is presented for verification.
