It's the most annoying to keep coughing and phlegm after a cold.

Cough is a protective rejection caused by respiratory mucosa stimulation. After catching a cold, the fever has gone down, the whole body aches have disappeared, and the nose and sneezing have disappeared, but the cough and phlegm have not healed for a long time. This is the experience of many people after catching a cold. Cough phlegm is mostly inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, and airway secretions increase. It is necessary to cough up phlegm in the airway or lungs by coughing. In order to expel phlegm, there will be expectoration.

Many people will choose to take some cough medicine, but if they take it blindly to suppress this cough reflex, it will cause a lot of sputum to stay in the respiratory tract, which will not only aggravate inflammation, but also lead to persistent cough, and even lead to sputum blocking the trachea, chest tightness, dyspnea and other symptoms.

Lianhua Qingke Tablet has a unique formula and obvious advantages in resolving phlegm and relieving cough.

Chinese medicine believes that "phlegm" is an abnormality of water. Because the spleen and stomach function is damaged and the transport and transformation are out of balance, it will accumulate stagnation and condense into phlegm; When lung qi is injured, the expectorant function of the lung is abnormal, and the body fluid cannot be dispersed in the body, resulting in water retention, that is, "the lung is a device for storing phlegm." This is consistent with the pathological process of excessive secretion of mucus glands caused by virus, bacterial infection and inflammatory stimulation, and there is also a saying that "lung heat leads to phlegm production"

Guided by the collateral disease theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the patented innovative Chinese medicine Lianhua Qingke prescription developed by combining traditional classic prescriptions and clinical practice is based on Maxing Shigan decoction (ephedra, gypsum, almond and licorice) in Treatise on Febrile Diseases by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Jinqing Huatan decoction (Scutellaria baicalensis and licorice) in Medicine as a Mirror by Ye Wenling in the Ming Dynasty, and the treatment method of "dispersing lung, resolving phlegm and relieving cough" is integrated. The prescription conforms to the physiological characteristics of lung, mainly dispersing lung and eliminating pathogenic factors, clearing lung heat, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, eliminating pathogenic factors and resolving phlegm, and naturally improving cough and expectoration symptoms.

Lianhua Qingke Tablet has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-virus and expectorant effects.

Infection with viruses and bacteria can cause inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, resulting in a large number of secretions in the airway, that is, sputum, which is a substance that effectively resists viruses and bacteria and reduces inflammatory damage, and is the basis for reducing sputum production. In vitro cell experiments conducted by Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health confirmed that Lianhuaqingke could effectively inhibit novel coronavirus (SARS-COV-2) in vitro. Animal experiments completed by the Institute of Medical Experimental Animals of China Academy of Medical Sciences have proved that Lianhuaqingke can inhibit novel coronavirus (SARS-COV-2), inhibit virus replication in the lungs, reduce lung inflammation and improve interstitial tissue proliferation. The research of Hunan Drug Safety Evaluation and Research Center confirmed that Lianhua Qingke Tablet can obviously inhibit the increase of lung index after coronavirus HCoV-229E infection, inhibit virus replication in the lung, inhibit lung tissue inflammation, alleviate the pathological changes of lung diseases, adjust the proportion of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets, and improve systemic immune function.

Another experimental study confirmed that Lianhua Qingke Tablet has a protective effect on the cytopathic effect caused by influenza virus in vitro, has a strong antiviral effect, and can reduce the level of lung virus in vivo. In addition, Lianhua Qingke Tablet has inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic streptococcus A, hemolytic streptococcus B, pneumococcus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus catarrhalis.

Dilute sputum and promote expectoration.

Thick phlegm is often sticky and difficult to cough up. If it can be diluted, it will facilitate the discharge of sputum. Studies have confirmed that Lianhua Qingke Tablet can obviously inhibit the secretion of mucin MUC5AC in airway inflammation model, and make the sputum easy to cough up after reducing its viscosity.

Experiments show that Lianhua Qingke Tablet can increase the amount of expectoration, promote the discharge of sputum and prevent a large amount of sputum from staying in trachea. After the sputum is discharged, it can reduce the blockage of trachea and bronchus and make the respiratory tract unobstructed.

Lianhua Qingke Tablet has obvious antitussive effect. Effectively protect airway mucosa, relieve airway spasm and improve airway resistance; Reduce lung injury caused by repeated attacks of airway inflammation; It also has the advantages of reducing fever, regulating immune function, enhancing disease resistance and rehabilitation ability, improving lung compliance and lung function.

During the epidemic in COVID-19, Lianhua Qingke Tablet passed the emergency filing of Hebei Drug Administration and was recommended by Hebei Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine for medical use in COVID-19. The results show that Lianhua Qingke Tablet can effectively improve the cough and expectoration symptoms of COVID-19 patients on the basis of routine treatment, promote the improvement of cough and expectoration symptoms, increase the disappearance rate of cough and expectoration symptoms and shorten the duration.

"Three-point treatment, seven-point nutrition", when coughing, in addition to taking medicine according to the doctor's advice, you also need to pay attention to drinking more water, so that viscous secretions can be diluted and sputum can be discharged more easily; As the saying goes, "fish make a fire, meat produces phlegm", so we should pay attention to light diet and avoid spicy and irritating food; If you cough when you fall asleep, you can raise your pillow; In addition, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor in summer is large, so it is necessary to increase or decrease clothes in time, and pay special attention not to be greedy for cold and drink cold, so as not to catch cold and aggravate cough.
