Question
What could it represent when coughing is accompanied by slight nasal discharge and a white tongue coating?
Answer
According to traditional Chinese medicine, this condition may be caused by internal cold and poor digestion. It is suggested to adopt some dietary approaches to improve the situation, such as stewing pork lung with radish, which has the effects of clearing the lungs, moistening the intestines, and cooling the blood. Additionally, Shuibeishili Confectionery and Shaoshen Yinhua Soup are also good choices, respectively having the effects of resolving phlegm and stopping coughing, and nourishing the lungs and yin.
