And the patient received Korean medical treatment, including herbal medicine(Ryokankyomishinge-tang, Ryokankyomishingenin-tang, Sogunjung-tang), and acupuncture. The severity of chronic cough was evaluated by VAS before and after administration of each treatment term. Results : The patient's symptoms improved and VAS changed 10 to 0.
