The upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) is a common chronic cough in children, and it has gradually increased in recent years. Chinese medicine believes that the main location of the disease is nasopharynx, which is closely related to the spleen and kidney. The most common pathological factor is wind, phlegm, deficiency and stasis, and the basic pathogenesis is upward inversion of lung Qi. Chinese medicine treatment mainly focuses on the combination of disease and syndrome differentiation, the combination of body and syndrome differentiation, staged Chinese medicine differentiation and treatment, cold and heat syndrome differentiation, viscera syndrome differentiation, Chinese medicine external treatment and combination of Chinese medicine and western medicine in order to regulate lung Qi. This article mainly elaborates on the differentiation and treatment of Chinese medicine for pediatric UACS, as well as its clinical treatment effects to provide some reference for further research on the treatment of pediatric UACS with Chinese medicine.

Chronic cough is one of the common diseases in pediatrics, and its occurrence, development and regression are closely related to the theory of xuanfu. Our team believes that the core pathogenesis of this disease is the deficiency of vital qi and the invasion of evil qi, resulting in a loss of control of the xuanfu. Among them, the deficiency of zang-fu organs and the loss of nourishment of the xuanfu are the basis of the disease; the accumulation of phlegm and food and the stagnation of the xuanfu are the root cause of the disease; the wind evil triggers the xuanfu to be the cause of the disease. In children, the lung, spleen and kidney are often deficient, making it easy for the xuanfu to lose its nourishment, which in turn affects the function of the xuanfu in transporting fluids, and when the xuanfu is stagnant due to deficiency, evil qi has an opportunity to take advantage of it;In addition, if the spleen and stomach are not nourished, and the transportation and transformation are not normal, it is easy to accumulate dampness and produce phlegm, or if food stagnates in the middle jiao and stagnates in the xuanfu channel, it will affect the smooth flow of qi and lay the hidden danger for the development of disease;If the cough is triggered by wind pathogen, the internal and external evil qi will interact with each other and the xuanfu will malfunction, resulting in the failure of lung qi to diffuse and purify and coughing, and the condition will linger. In treatment, our team adopted the principle of promoting the situation and removing the stagnation in the xuanfu by dispelling wind evil, resolving phlegm and removing stagnation, and reinforcing vital qi and supplementing deficiency to open up the xuanfu. At the same time, we pay attention to the application of the characteristic medicine to unblock the xuanfu, especially the medicine to regulate qi to unblock the xuanfu, the medicine to dredge the meridians to unblock the xuanfu and the medicine to invigorate the blood to unblock the xuanfu, so as to restore the function of the xuanfu of the lung, then the disease can be cured.

Basing upon the study of conjunctive tissue frame and unstriped muscles of colon from autopsy material, as well as analysis of over 2000 clinical observations the authors set forth a new concept of etiopathogenesis of infant's chronic constipations by interpreting the functional disorders as a consequence of genetically determined status of conjunctive tissue frame. principles of conservative therapy and indications to surgery correction are considered.Key words: chronic constipation, etiology and pathogenesis, treatment, lactulose, surgical intervention, children.
