Pneumonia is lung inflammation caused by different pathogens or other factors. The main manifestations are fever, cough, shortness of breath, dyspnea and lung moist rales. It can happen all year round, especially in winter and summer. It can occur at any age, mostly in infants under 3 years old, and it is the first cause of infant death in China.

This disease belongs to the category of "pneumonia and cough" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Etiology and pathogenesis

External causes include wind-cold and wind-heat. Because children are not full of qi, their lungs are delicate and turbid.

Exogenous pathogens attack the lungs, causing lung qi stagnation, body fluid congealing into phlegm, phlegm blocking lung collaterals, and airway obstruction, leading to dereliction of duty, lung collaterals failing to declare, while water and fluid have no right to transport, stagnate in lung collaterals, congealing into phlegm, and airway obstruction, so cough, shortness of breath, and phlegm in throat may occur; Excessive pathogenic heat, body fluid becoming phlegm, phlegm blocking the airway, phlegm rising with qi, there are excessive heat, polydipsia, cough, excessive phlegm, and even rumbling in phlegm. Pathogenic qi is abundant but vital qi is insufficient, and Jue Yin's wind is shocking; Deficiency of heart yang and rapid pulse are critical symptoms. In the late stage of the disease, the positive overcomes the evil, but it soon recovers. The love of the positive deficiency and evil produces the syndrome of lung heat deficiency or disharmony between camp and health.

The disease is located in the lung and often involves the spleen, but it can also escape from the heart and liver. Its pathological mechanism is lung qi stagnation, and phlegm heat is the main pathological product.
