Coughing upon catching a cold is because there is water dampness in the spleen and lung regions. The presence of these waters will stimulate the lungs to produce coughing upon catching a cold. Some people's lungs are blocked by water dampness from the spleen's transportation of essence to the lungs. However, while the presence of water dampness causes cold cough, here in the lungs is hot cough, without phlegm or with little phlegm. Such cough is mixed. When the lungs appear to be dry and withered, they can also absorb the moisture from the large intestine, causing constipation.

1. What are the causes of cold drink cough?
The occurrence of cold drink cough is related to the inherent factors of the body and climatic factors, and the specific causes of the disease are described as follows.
1. Organism factors
Some people's lungs are blocked by water drink, which prevents the spleen from transporting liquid to the lungs. On the one hand, the water drink causes cold cough, but here in the lungs is hot cough without sputum or with little sputum. Such coughing is mixed.
2. Climate factors
This disease is lighter in spring and summer and more severe in autumn and winter. When encountering the cold northwest wind, patients may feel stuffy in the nose and mouth, breathless chest pain, and persistent coughing. The coughing sound is continuous, and sputum comes out with coughing, endlessly. Therefore, patients have to stay at home. Secondly, this disease is due to cold phlegm and cold drink in the lungs, and the lung Qi cannot descend, the Shaoyang Qi is衰弱, and the disease is caused by the combined action of external and internal factors.
2. What complications are easy to occur in cold drink cough?
If cold drink cough turns into Shaoyin, patients may feel exhausted and drowsy all day, with fever, cough, and sputum. After that, it may change into various chronic respiratory diseases.
1. Obstructive emphysema:Patients have diffuse hyperplasia of fibrous tissue in the alveolar wall. Added to the narrowing of the lumen and the obstruction of sputum, it can cause obstructive emphysema due to the unsmooth expiration.
2. Bronchopneumonia:Patients may have chills, fever, increased cough, increased sputum volume, and purulent sputum. The total white blood cell count and neutrophils increase. X-ray examination shows spot-like or small patchy shadows in the lower lungs.
3. Bronchiectasis:The bronchial mucosa becomes congested and edematous, forming ulcers, with hyperplasia of fibrous tissue in the wall, and the lumen is deformed, expanded, or narrowed to varying degrees. The expanded part often presents with a columnar change.
3. What are the typical symptoms of cold drink cough?
If cold drink cough turns into Shaoyin, patients may feel exhausted and drowsy all day, with fever, cough, sputum, and sore throat. In severe cases, there may be less sputum, like clear, white sputum, dry cough in the lungs, dry and itchy throat, and thirst without drinking.
4. How to prevent cold drink cough?

7. Pay attention to combining work and rest, and keep warm during the cold season. Wear masks and hats when going out to prevent the cold from attacking the lungs.
5. What laboratory tests are needed for cold drink cough?
The examination of cold drink cough includes X-ray, respiratory function, blood and sputum examination, and the specific examination methods are described as follows.
1. X-ray:No abnormalities in the early stage. After repeated attacks, it can manifest as thickened and disordered pulmonary texture, showing grid-like or cord-like shadows, with obvious symptoms in the lower lungs.
2. Respiratory function testing:No abnormalities in the early stage. As the condition progresses, small airway obstruction may occur, and the maximum expiratory flow-volume curve shows a significant decrease in flow at 75% and 50% of lung capacity.
3. Blood examination:An increase in the total white blood cell count and/or neutrophils may occur occasionally in bacterial infections.
4. Sputum examination:Pathogenic bacteria can be cultivated during the acute attack phase.
6. Dietary taboos for patients with cold and phlegm cough
