Problem description:

My mother has been coughing for more than a year. She has been to many hospitals and was diagnosed with bronchitis. She also prescribed medicine and had an intravenous drip, but it didn't get better. Sputum was foamy, and she ate Asme, various anti-inflammatory drugs, Chuanbei loquat dew, chicken juice syrup, hay slices and so on. And she also used spray. As long as there are drugs to treat this disease, almost all of them have been used. Now I want to treat it with traditional Chinese medicine, because taking too many western medicines doesn't work.
