When a patient comes to the TCM clinic because of an annoying cough, the physician will first evaluate the patient's cough type, exclude lung diseases such as lung cancer, and drug side effects that may cause cough, and then prescribe drugs and adjust the body according to the patient's constitution and symptoms.

For example, if the patient is a phlegm or wind-hot cold, the doctor will prescribe a cold medicine; if it is a dry cough caused by poor stomach and intestines, it will be administered with a stomach and intestines medicine; however, if it is determined that it is a dry cough or night cough caused by climate change, the lungs can be nourished and moisturized through the homemade "pear lung soup".
