Abstract:This paper summarizes the clinical experience of Professor Wang Lie, a traditional Chinese medicine master, in treating recurrent respiratory tract infections in children. According to the pathogenesis and morbidity characteristics, Professor Wang divides the disease into three phases: the acute infection phase, the non-acute infection phase and the consolidation treatment phase. Professor Wang believes that during the acute infection phase, the intertwining of external evils and internal toxins is the main pathogenesis that leads to persistent fever. The treatment should clearly distinguish between the excess and the deficiency. The patient who is suffering from excess should be given the modified Qinggan Decoction which could clear sense and toxic materials. For the patient who is suffering from deficiency, medicines that clear deficiency heat and nourish yin should be used. During the non-acute infection phase, the lung, spleen and kidney are mainly to be regulated, and the treatment relies on the syndrome differentiation and the identification of deficiencies and excesses. For the patient with food accumulation and lung heat, Professor Wang matches Scutellariae Radix and other herbs to transport the spleen. In this way, the lung heat could be cleared and accumulation and stagnation could be eliminated. If there is deficiency in the lung, spleen, and kidney, Professor Wang uses modified Yiqi Qiangshen Decoction to benefit qi and strengthen the vital qi. In the case of lung yin in deficiency syndrome, Professor Wang uses modified Bufei Decoction to moisten the lung and nourish yin. During the consolidation treatment phase, great attention should be paid to the prevent recurrence of disease after treatment, and therefore Professor Wang adopts combined internal external therapy. In this situation, the Pediatric Longmu Capsules and Yiqi Guben Capsules are commonly used in combination with the Fangfu Sachet. Scientific maintenance methods and a balanced diet are advocated as well. The clinical results are significant, and one medical record is attached to prove our view.
