"Su Huang Zhi Ke" refers to Su Huang Zhi Ke Jiao Nang (Su Huang Cough-Relieving Capsules). Generally, Su Huang Cough-Relieving Capsules are suitable for cough caused by wind pathogen invading the lungs, cough due to impaired lung qi dispersion, wind-heat cough, cough-variant asthma, and post-infectious cough after a cold. It is recommended to seek medical evaluation and take the medication according to a doctor's advice. Specific indications are analyzed as follows:
1. Cough due to wind pathogen invading the lungs: When wind-cold or external wind pathogens attack the lungs, causing symptoms such as cough, throat itching, and sore throat, Su Huang Cough-Relieving Capsules can help dispel cold pathogens, resolve phlegm, and suppress cough, thereby alleviating cough symptoms.
2. Cough due to impaired lung qi dispersion: In cases of dry cough or mild cough resulting from deficient lung qi and poor dispersion, the capsules can help regulate lung function through warming the yang, dispelling cold, resolving phlegm, and relieving cough.
3. Wind-heat cough: When cough is accompanied by wind-heat symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and dry mouth, Su Huang Cough-Relieving Capsules can clear heat, detoxify, expel wind, and resolve phlegm, helping to relieve cough and improve associated symptoms.
4. Cough-variant asthma: For patients experiencing cough with wheezing or shortness of breath typical of asthma, the capsules can help resolve phlegm, suppress cough, and relieve wheezing, thus alleviating both cough and asthma symptoms.
5. Post-infectious cough: When cough persists for a prolonged period following a cold and is accompanied by difficult-to-expectorate sputum, Su Huang Cough-Relieving Capsules can aid in expectorating phlegm and suppressing cough, accelerating recovery.
In daily life, it is advisable to maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water, and engage in moderate exercise to support overall health and recovery.
