夫咳嗽者。内经以为肺感微寒而所作也。若七八月之间。肺气旺盛之时。病嗽者。其病必实。非久病也。其
证面赤痰盛而身热。治当下之。钱乙用葶苈丸。若病久者。不可下。若十一月十二月嗽者。
乃伤风寒嗽者。风寒从背第三椎肺俞穴入。其证烦闷恶风憎寒。昼轻夜甚。治当汗之。钱乙用麻黄汤。若有热
证。则面赤饮水。涎壅咽喉不利。钱乙兼用甘桔汤。若嗽于五六月间。其病身热痰盛唾粘。或痰盛不甚喘。面
赤或时饮水。钱乙并以褊银丸下之。若肺盛。嗽而后喘。身热闷乱而肿。或饮水不饮水者。钱乙用泻白散。昔钱
乙治张氏孙儿九岁。病肺热咳嗽。前医以珠犀龙麝牛黄药治之。一月不愈。其证咳嗽喘急闷乱。饮水不止。全不
能食。召乙治之。乙用使君子丸益黄散。张曰。本有热。何又行温药。他医用凉药攻之。一月尚无效。乙曰。凉
药久则胃寒不能食。小儿虚不能食。当与补脾。候饮食如故。即泻肺经。病必愈矣。服补脾药二日。其子欲饮
食。以泻白散泻肺遂愈。张曰。何以不虚。乙曰。先实其脾。然后泻肺。故不虚也。
又伤风寒咳嗽。无热证而但嗽者。钱乙用麻黄汤。及化痰药治之。若肺虚。而嗽有哽气。时时长出。喉中有
声者。此久病当补也。钱乙用阿胶散。昔钱乙治杜氏子五岁。自十一月病嗽，至三月未止。始得嗽而吐痰。乃风
寒入肺也。风在肺中。故嗽而吐痰。宜以麻黄辈发散。后用凉药压之。即愈。他医却以诸药下之。其肺即虚而嗽
甚。至春三月间尚未愈。乃召钱氏看之。其候面青而光。嗽而喘促哽气。又时长出气。钱曰。病困十已八九矣。
所以然者。面青而光。乃肝气旺也。春三月者。肝之位。肺衰之时也。嗽者肺之病。自十一月至三月久。即肺虚
痿。又曾下之。脾肺子母俱虚。复为之所胜。此为逆也。故嗽而喘促哽气。长出气也。乙急与泻青丸泻肝后。
与阿胶散实肺。次日面青而不光。乙又与补肺。其嗽如前。又与泻肝。未已。而又加肺虚。唇白如练。乙曰。此
病必死。不可治也。何者。肝大旺而肺虚绝。肺病不得时。而肝胜之。今三泻其肝。而肝病证不退。三补其肺。
而肺病尤虚。此不久生。故言死也。此证病于秋者。十救三四。病于春夏者。十难救一。果大喘而死。
又肺气不足。谓寒邪所干。咳嗽喘满短气者。治补肺。昔钱乙治李转运孙八岁。病嗽而喘满短气。他医以为
肺经有热。用竹叶汤牛黄膏治之。三日加喘。召乙治之。乙曰。此肺气不足。复有寒邪。即便喘满。当补肺脾。
勿服凉药。李曰。已服竹叶汤牛黄膏。乙曰。何治也。前医至曰。退热退涎。乙曰。何热所作，医曰。肺经热而
生嗽。嗽久不除生涎。乙曰。本虚而风寒所作。何热也。若作肺热。何不治肺。而反调心也。竹叶汤牛黄膏皆治心药也。
医有惭色。乙根据所论而治愈。
又咳嗽咯脓血者。肺热也。钱乙用甘桔汤。若嗽而吐痰涎喘者。先实其脾。钱乙用益黄散。后微下之。钱乙
用褊银丸。涎退即补肺。乙用阿胶散。昔乙治段斋郎子四岁。病嗽身热。吐痰数日咯血。前医以桔梗汤防己丸治
之。不愈。涎上攻。吐喘不止。请乙治之。乙下褊银丸一大服。复以补脾药治之。或问此子咯血肺虚。何以下
之。乙曰。肺虽咯血。有热故也。久则虚痿。今涎上潮而吐。当下其涎。若使不吐涎。便为甚。盖吐涎能虚。又
生惊也。痰实上攻。亦使发搐。故根据法只宜先下其痰为顺。此治先下后补。与前论先补后下。其意相反者。经以
谓病有缓急。治有先后也。治病证如钱乙。所以得圣人之旨趣，学人宜为法耳。嗽而吐青白绿水者。此胃冷有停
饮也。乙用百祥丸下之。嗽而吐痰涎乳食者。此有伤宿滞不化也。乙用白饼子下之。
若久嗽肺虚亡津液者。乙用阿胶散补之。治嗽大法。盛则下之。久则补之。风则散之。更量大小虚实。以意
施治。是以慎护小儿。须常着夹背心。虽夏月热时。于单背心上当背更添衬一重。盖肺俞在背上。恐风寒伤而为
嗽。嗽久不止。亦令生惊。若百 内儿病嗽者。十中一二得全。亦非小疾也。
又有停饮作痰者。由儿乳饮失宜。致脾胃不和。停滞其饮不散。留结成痰。若随气上干于肺而嗽者。此为痰
嗽。若不嗽者。则肺壅不利。咽塞唾涎。胁腹膈滞。
又脾胃冷热不调。涎不归胃。致涎流口角。而无休止。冷者鼻上色青。及大便青白。热者鼻上赤色。及大便
赤黄。以上除钱乙所用方。本集载之外。今叙诸方于后。

咳嗽，在《内经》中被认为是肺感受微寒所致。如果在七八月之间，这是肺气旺盛的时期，此时患咳嗽的病，其病势必然属实证，并非久病。症状表现为面红、痰多且身体发热，治疗应当采用攻下法。钱乙使用葶苈丸。如果是久病咳嗽，则不可用攻下法。如果在十一月、十二月咳嗽，这是伤风寒引起的咳嗽。风寒从背部第三椎骨的肺俞穴侵入，症状表现为烦闷、怕风、畏寒，白天轻晚上重，治疗应当采用发汗法。钱乙使用麻黄汤。如果伴有热证，则见面红、想喝水、咽喉部痰涎壅盛不利。钱乙兼用甘桔汤。如果在五六月间咳嗽，病症表现为身体发热、痰多唾液粘稠，或者痰多但喘息不严重，面红或偶尔想喝水。钱乙都用褊银丸进行攻下。如果肺气过盛，咳嗽之后出现喘息，身体发热、烦乱并伴有浮肿，无论是否想喝水，钱乙都使用泻白散。
从前钱乙治疗张氏九岁的孙子，患有肺热咳嗽。之前的医生用珍珠、犀角、龙骨、麝香、牛黄等凉药治疗，一个月未愈。症状表现为咳嗽、喘息急促、烦乱，不停喝水，完全不能进食。请钱乙诊治。钱乙使用使君子丸和益黄散。张氏说：“本来就有热证，为什么又用温补药？”其他医生用凉药攻伐，一个月还无效。钱乙说：“凉药久服会导致胃寒而不能进食。小儿体虚不能进食，应当先补脾。等到饮食恢复正常，再泻肺经之热，病一定会好。”服用补脾药两天后，孩子想要吃东西了，再用泻白散泻肺热，于是痊愈。张氏问：“为什么没有导致虚弱？”钱乙说：“先充实其脾，然后泻肺，所以不会虚弱。”
又有伤风寒咳嗽，没有热证只是咳嗽的，钱乙用麻黄汤及化痰药治疗。如果肺气虚，咳嗽时有气哽塞感，时常长出气，喉中有声音的，这是久病应当补益。钱乙使用阿胶散。从前钱乙治疗杜氏五岁的儿子，从十一月咳嗽到三月未止。刚开始咳嗽吐痰，是风寒入肺。风在肺中，所以咳嗽吐痰，宜用麻黄之类发散。后来用凉药压制，就好了。其他医生却用各种下药攻下，导致肺气虚而咳嗽加重。到了春季三个月间仍未愈，于是请钱乙诊治。脉候见面色青而光亮，咳嗽气喘急促有气哽塞感，又时常长出气。钱乙说：“病情已经很危重了，十成病势已去八九。之所以这样，是因为面色青而光亮，是肝气旺盛的表现。春季三个月，是肝当令之时，也是肺衰弱的时期。咳嗽是肺的病，从十一月到三月时间久，导致肺虚痿弱。又曾被下药攻伐，脾肺母子两脏俱虚，又被肝木所克，这是逆证。所以咳嗽气喘急促、气哽塞、长出气。”钱乙急用泻青丸泻肝，后用阿胶散实肺。第二天面色青而不光亮了。钱乙又给补肺，咳嗽如前。又给泻肝，病未止，反而更加肺虚，嘴唇白如绢帛。钱乙说：“这病必死，不可治了。为什么呢？肝太旺而肺虚绝。肺病不得时（不当令），而肝胜之。现在三次泻肝，肝病证不退；三次补肺，肺病更虚。这不久于人世，所以说死。”此证若在秋季患病，十分可救三四；若在春夏季患病，十分难救一。果然大喘而死。
又有肺气不足，被寒邪所干，咳嗽、气喘、胸满、短气的，治疗应补肺。从前钱乙治疗李转运的八岁孙子，病咳嗽、气喘、胸满、短气。其他医生认为肺经有热，用竹叶汤、牛黄膏治疗。三天后喘息加重。请钱乙诊治。钱乙说：“这是肺气不足，又有寒邪，立刻就会气喘胸满。应当补肺脾，不要服凉药。”李氏说：“已经服用了竹叶汤和牛黄膏。”钱乙问：“怎么治疗的？”之前的医生说：“退热退涎。”钱乙问：“是什么热？”医生说：“肺经热而生咳嗽，咳嗽久了不除生涎。”钱乙说：“本是虚证，由风寒引起，有什么热呢？如果是肺热，为什么不治肺，反而调心呢？竹叶汤和牛黄膏都是治心的药。”医生脸上露出惭愧的神色。钱乙根据所论治愈了病。
又有咳嗽咯脓血的，是肺热。钱乙用甘桔汤。如果咳嗽吐痰涎且喘的，先实其脾，钱乙用益黄散。然后轻微攻下，钱乙用褊银丸。涎退后再补肺，钱乙用阿胶散。从前钱乙治疗段斋郎的四岁儿子，病咳嗽身热，吐痰数日后咯血。前医用桔梗汤、防己丸治疗，未愈。涎上攻，吐喘不止。请钱乙诊治。钱乙用一大服褊银丸攻下，再用补脾药治疗。有人问：“这孩子咯血肺虚，为什么要攻下？”钱乙说：“肺虽然咯血，是有热的原因。久了会虚痿。现在涎上潮而吐，应当攻下其涎。如果不让吐涎，病情会更重。因为吐涎能致虚，又易生惊。痰实上攻，也会引起抽搐。所以依法只宜先下其痰为顺。这是治疗先下后补，与前文论述的先补后下，意思相反。经典说病有缓急，治有先后。治病像钱乙这样，所以能得圣人的旨趣，学人应当效法。”咳嗽吐出青白绿水的，这是胃冷有停饮。钱乙用百祥丸攻下。咳嗽吐痰涎乳食的，这是有宿食停滞不化。钱乙用白饼子攻下。
如果久咳肺虚亡失津液的，钱乙用阿胶散补益。治疗咳嗽的大法：实证则攻下，久病则补益，风邪则发散。更要衡量大小、虚实，用心施治。因此要谨慎护理小儿，须常穿夹背心，即使在夏天热的时候，也在单背心的背部再加衬一层。因为肺俞在背上，恐怕风寒侵袭而致咳嗽。咳嗽久了不止，也会引发惊风。如果百日内的婴儿患咳嗽，十个里面一二个能保全，也不是小病。
又有停饮化作痰的，由于小儿乳饮失调，导致脾胃不和，停滞的饮水不散，留结成为痰。如果随气上干于肺而咳嗽的，这叫痰嗽。如果不咳嗽，则肺壅滞不利，咽塞唾涎，胁腹膈滞。
又有脾胃冷热不调，涎不归胃，导致涎流口角而无休止。冷的，鼻子上色青，大便青白；热的，鼻子上赤色，大便赤黄。以上除了钱乙所用的方剂，本集另有记载外，现将诸方叙述如下。

Cough, as described in the *Neijing* (Classic of Internal Medicine), is caused by the Lung channel being affected by slight cold. If coughing occurs between the seventh and eighth months, a time when Lung Qi is flourishing, the disease must be excess type, not a chronic condition. The symptoms include red face, abundant phlegm, and fever; treatment should involve purgation. Qian Yi used Tingli Wan (Descurainia Seed Pill). For chronic cough, purgation is contraindicated. If coughing occurs in the eleventh or twelfth month, it is due to injury by wind-cold. Wind-cold enters through the Feishu (BL13) acupoint at the third thoracic vertebra on the back. Symptoms include restlessness, aversion to wind, and chills, with symptoms lighter during the day and heavier at night; treatment should involve diaphoresis (sweating). Qian Yi used Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction). If accompanied by heat signs, there is a red face, desire for water, and phlegm-saliva obstructing the throat causing difficulty; Qian Yi combined this with Ganjie Tang (Licorice and Platycodon Decoction). If coughing occurs in the fifth or sixth month, symptoms include fever, abundant sticky saliva/phlegm, or abundant phlegm without severe wheezing, red face, or occasional desire for water. Qian Yi used Pianyin Wan (Bitter Silver Pill) for purgation in all these cases. If Lung Qi is excessive, coughing is followed by wheezing, fever, restlessness, and edema, regardless of desire for water, Qian Yi used Xiebai San (White Herb Powder) to drain the Lung.
Previously, Qian Yi treated the nine-year-old grandson of Mr. Zhang, who suffered from Lung-heat cough. Previous physicians had treated him with cooling medicines such as Pearl, Rhinoceros Horn, Dragon Bone, Musk, and Realgar for one month without success. Symptoms included coughing, rapid wheezing, restlessness, incessant drinking, and complete inability to eat. Qian Yi prescribed Shijunzi Wan (Quince Seed Pill) and Yihuang San (Yellow Protecting Powder). Mr. Zhang asked, "There was originally heat; why use warming medicines?" Other doctors had used cooling medicines to attack the pathogen for a month with no effect. Qian Yi said, "Long-term use of cooling medicines causes Stomach cold and inability to eat. Since the child is deficient and cannot eat, we must tonify the Spleen first. Once eating returns to normal, we will drain the Lung meridian, and the illness will surely heal." After two days of taking Spleen-tonifying medicine, the child desired food. Then, using Xiebai San to drain Lung heat, he recovered. Mr. Zhang asked, "Why did this not cause deficiency?" Qian Yi replied, "By first solidifying the Spleen and then draining the Lung, there is no deficiency."
In cases of wind-cold injury causing cough without heat signs, only coughing, Qian Yi used Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) along with phlegm-resolving medicines. If Lung Qi is deficient, and coughing is accompanied by gasping and frequent deep sighs with sounds in the throat, this is a chronic condition requiring tonification. Qian Yi used Ejiao San (Donkey-Hide Gelatin Powder). Previously, Qian Yi treated the five-year-old son of Mr. Du, who had been coughing from November to March without cessation. Initially, coughing with expectoration indicated wind-cold entering the Lung. With wind in the Lung, coughing and expectoration occurred; dispersal with Ephedra-type medicines was appropriate. Later, cooling medicines suppressed it, and it healed. However, other doctors used various purgatives, causing Lung deficiency and worsening cough. By the third month of spring, it had not healed. Upon consultation, the pulse showed a bright green complexion, coughing with rapid wheezing, gasping, and frequent deep sighs. Qian Yi said, "The condition is critical; eight or nine out of ten parts of the disease are already lost. This is because a bright green complexion indicates flourishing Liver Qi. The three months of spring correspond to the Liver's domain and the time of Lung decline. Cough is a Lung disease; lasting from November to March leads to Lung deficiency and flaccidity. Having been purged, both Spleen and Lung (mother and child organs) are deficient, and they are overcome by Wood (Liver). This is a counter-indication (Ni), hence the coughing, rapid wheezing, gasping, and deep sighs." Qian Yi urgently administered Xieqing Wan (Draining Green Pill) to drain the Liver, followed by Ejiao San to solidify the Lung. The next day, the complexion was green but not bright. Qian Yi then tonified the Lung, but the cough persisted. He drained the Liver again, but the disease did not cease, and Lung deficiency worsened, with lips white as silk. Qian Yi said, "This disease is fatal and incurable. Why? The Liver is excessively flourishing while the Lung is exhausted. The Lung disease does not occur at its proper time, yet the Liver overcomes it. Now, after draining the Liver three times, the Liver pathology remains; after tonifying the Lung three times, the Lung pathology becomes even more deficient. Life will not last long, hence I say death." For this syndrome, if contracted in autumn, three or four out of ten can be saved; if contracted in spring or summer, fewer than one out of ten can be saved. Indeed, the patient died of severe asthma.
Regarding insufficient Lung Qi, affected by cold evil, manifesting as cough, wheezing, chest fullness, and shortness of breath, treatment should tonify the Lung. Previously, Qian Yi treated the eight-year-old grandson of Transport Commissioner Li, who suffered from cough, wheezing, chest fullness, and shortness of breath. Other doctors believed there was heat in the Lung meridian and treated him with Zhuye Tang (Bamboo Leaf Decoction) and Niuhuang Gao (Calculus Bovis Ointment). After three days, wheezing worsened. Qian Yi diagnosed: "This is insufficient Lung Qi with cold evil, immediately causing wheezing and chest fullness. Tonify Lung and Spleen; do not take cooling medicines." Mr. Li said, "We have already taken Zhuye Tang and Niuhuang Gao." Qian Yi asked, "How were they treated?" The previous doctor said, "To reduce heat and resolve saliva." Qian Yi asked, "What heat?" The doctor said, "Heat in the Lung meridian generates cough; prolonged cough generates saliva." Qian Yi said, "It is originally deficiency caused by wind-cold, what heat is there? If it were Lung heat, why not treat the Lung, but instead regulate the Heart? Zhuye Tang and Niuhuang Gao are both Heart-treating medicines." The doctor looked ashamed. Qian Yi cured the disease based on his discussion.
For coughing up pus and blood, it is Lung heat. Qian Yi used Ganjie Tang (Licorice and Platycodon Decoction). For coughing with phlegm-saliva and wheezing, first solidify the Spleen (Qian Yi used Yihuang San), then mildly purge (Qian Yi used Pianyin Wan). After saliva recedes, tonify the Lung (Qian Yi used Ejiao San). Previously, Qian Yi treated the four-year-old son of Duan Zhaolang, who had cough, fever, expectoration for several days, and hemoptysis. Previous doctors used Jiegeng Tang (Platycodon Decoction) and Fangji Wan (Stephania Pill) without success. Saliva attacked upward, causing incessant vomiting and wheezing. Qian Yi administered a large dose of Pianyin Wan to purge, then treated with Spleen-tonifying medicine. Someone asked, "This child has hemoptysis and Lung deficiency; why purge?" Qian Yi said, "Although the Lung hemoptysis is due to heat, prolonged heat leads to deficiency and flaccidity. Now saliva surges upward with vomiting; we must purge the saliva. If we do not allow vomiting of saliva, the condition will worsen. Vomiting saliva causes deficiency and may generate fright. Phlegm-excess attacking upward can also cause convulsions. Therefore, according to the method, it is appropriate to first purge the phlegm. This treatment of 'purge first, tonify later' contrasts with the earlier discussion of 'tonify first, purge later.' The Classics state that diseases have urgency, and treatments have sequence. Treating like Qian Yi allows one to grasp the intent of the Sages; students should emulate this." Coughing up green-white watery fluid indicates Cold Stomach with retained fluid retention. Qian Yi used Baixiang Wan (Hundred Auspicious Pills) to purge. Coughing up phlegm-saliva and milk/food indicates undigested old stagnation. Qian Yi used Baibing Zi (White Cake Pill) to purge.
For chronic cough with Lung deficiency and loss of Jin-Ye (Body Fluids), Qian Yi used Ejiao San (Donkey-Hide Gelatin Powder) to tonify. The general principle for treating cough: Excess requires purging; chronic conditions require tonifying; Wind requires dispersing. One must assess age, size, and deficiency/excess to apply treatment wisely. Therefore, care for children must be cautious; they should always wear padded vests. Even in hot summer months, add an extra layer to the back of the single vest. Since Feishu (BL13) is on the back, we fear wind-cold injuring it and causing cough. Prolonged cough may also induce fright. For infants under one hundred days with cough, only one or two out of ten survive; it is not a minor illness.
Another type is retained fluid transforming into phlegm. Due to improper feeding, Spleen and Stomach harmony is disrupted, retained fluids fail to disperse, and remain to form phlegm. If this rises with Qi to disturb the Lung causing cough, it is called Phlegm-Cough. If there is no cough, the Lung is congested and unsmooth, causing throat obstruction with saliva, and stagnation in the hypochondrium, abdomen, and diaphragm.
If Spleen and Stomach cold and heat are imbalanced, saliva fails to return to the Stomach, flowing from the mouth corner ceaselessly. Cold type presents with blue color on the nose and green-white stool; Heat type presents with red color on the nose and red-yellow stool.
