Phlegm-damp cough is one type of internal injury cough, often caused by irregular diet, excessive consumption of rich and greasy foods, leading to spleen dysfunction. This results in the inability to transform food into essential nutrients to nourish the lungs, causing phlegm accumulation. Phlegm-damp obstructs the lungs, blocking the airways, and causing lung qi to rebel, resulting in cough. Clinical symptoms include: cough with abundant phlegm, white and thin sputum, chest fullness and discomfort, heaviness and fatigue, white and greasy tongue coating, and slippery pulse.
