Cough

Coughs are commonly seen in Connecticut (CT).With coughs I am looking / listening for the frequency of the patient’s cough, severity of the cough, and finally the color of the phlegm (clear, yellow, and green).

Coughs can be caused by ether external or internal factors. External factors like common cold, dust, allergies, dry weather, cold weather, smoking, and damp weather, viruses, and bacteria.


Lung Function Impaired by Common Cold
Coughs associated with common cold, headache, and stuffy nose.  To have this patter we look specifically for no perspiration or light perspiration.  This is very commonly seen during the spring and fall in Connecticut (CT). 

Lung Function Impaired by Flu
Seen often in early spring and late fall, symptoms include cough, sweating, sore throat, thirst, and fever with sweating
. 

Lungs Accumulate Phlegm / Bacterial and Viral Infections
This is the most common type of cough I treat.  I actually treat this condition more than common colds and flu’s.  Symptoms of chronic cough, morning coughs, phlegm that is yellow or green. Patients usually seek my help for treatment of this condition after the first round of anti-bionics failed to resolve their condition.

Note:  With severe respiratory infections those resistant to antibiotics.  The best treatment, based on my experience, has been to combine acupuncture, cupping, hot packs, and to continue the antibiotics.  It is my opinion that his treatment regiment has no equal.
