🌿 Coughing for more than 3 weeks? Not getting better?
In KL, hot weather + strong air-conditioning,
chronic cough is extremely common.

Common symptoms we see:

• Cough lingering for weeks

• Dry cough in the morning or before sleep

• Cough triggered by air-conditioning

• Cough when talking too much

• Sticky phlegm, difficult to expectorate

• Dry throat, dry cough with no phlegm

• Chest discomfort from coughing

• “Post-viral cough” that refuses to go away

Most of these are not infections,
but body imbalance from the TCM perspective.

🌿 How TCM Understands Chronic Cough

1️⃣ Lung Yin Deficiency — Dry cough, dry throat

Seen in teachers, office workers, and people who talk a lot.

2️⃣ Lung Qi Deficiency — Weak lungs, weak immunity

Cold wind or cold air triggers cough easily.

3️⃣ Phlegm-Damp Cough — Sticky, thick phlegm

Common in people who consume sweet, dairy, fried foods.

4️⃣ Wind-Cold Cough — Air-cond induced cough

Very common in KL office environments.

5️⃣ Stomach Heat Cough — Heat rising to irritate throat

Caused by spicy food, coffee, late nights.

💬 From the practitioner：

“Most chronic coughs are not infections —
they reflect lung weakness or body imbalance.
Once your lung function is restored, the cough naturally resolves.”

— Jason Cheh, Registered TCM Practitioner (MOH Malaysia)
