After taking Linggan Wuwei Jiangxin decoction and Xiaozhonglong decoction, the cough is relieved, but the breath of people rushes upward, and the breath rushes from the lower abdomen to the chest and pharynx. After taking Guiling Wuwei Glycyrrhiza Decoction, the breath is gentle, but the cough is aggravated and the chest is full, which belongs to the reform of Xiaoqinglong Decoction. Because the syndrome has no exterior cold and the qi is flat, ephedra and cassia twig are not used to relieve exterior cold; Cold drink still exists, so dry ginger and asarum are still used to warm the lungs and dispel cold and dissolve the drink; Because of the heavy drinking evil, it is used together with Poria, which strengthens the spleen and oozes dampness, and is the source of phlegm.
