Cough and Acupuncture
It is rare to disturb a doctor for a cough but what if the cough lasts more than
one month?
Usually, a cough resolves itself within five days. After two weeks, it becomes
embarrasing. Sometimes it starts hurting when the cough does not resolves after
one month.

Persistant Cough - Female 50
Case History
Ms D had been coughing for six weeks when she came for a consultation. Her ribs
were hurting each time she coughed and she was fearing that something more
sinister was brewing.
Her GP reassured her and gave her a 5 days course of antibiotics. One week later
she did not notice any difference so she took another appointment with the GP
and one appointment for acupuncture. She had a walk planned in the mountains in Wales with very dear friends the coming week end and would have been very disapointed to cancel it .
Prescription
LIV 14, LU 1, Ren 17, St 36 and auricular Shen Men were the main points used for this case. The combination Lu 1 Liv 14 an Ren 17 was meant to treat the emotional as well as the physical side of the cough and breathlessness. Auricular Shen Men was used to calm her mind whereas ST 36 would give her the required energy to recover.
Outcome
The patient called three days after the first treatment to say that the cough has
stopped. She went to her walk in Wales and was very pleased to be able to meet her friends. A follow up a few weeks later confirmed that the cough was effectively
erradicated.
