Traditional Chinese medicine believes that patients with lung disease often experience symptoms of wheezing and nasal distension. The appearance of this symptom is mainly due to damage to the lungs, leading to a decrease in respiratory system function, which in turn affects the ventilation function of the nose. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the lungs regulate breathing and ensure smooth breathing. If the lungs are damaged, they may experience difficulty breathing, resulting in wheezing and nasal distension.
In order to alleviate this symptom, traditional Chinese medicine usually uses some traditional Chinese medicines with the functions of promoting lung function, relieving asthma, and relieving external symptoms. For example, traditional Chinese medicines such as ephedra, almonds, and platycodon have the effect of promoting lung function and relieving asthma, which can dilate the airways and alleviate wheezing symptoms; Traditional Chinese medicines such as Xinyi and Canger Zi have the effect of promoting diuresis and relieving external symptoms, which can improve nasal ventilation and alleviate nasal distension symptoms.
中医认为，肺病患者常常会出现喘息鼻胀的症状。这种症状的出现，主要是由于肺部受损，导致呼吸系统功能下降，进而影响鼻子的通气功能。在中医理论中，肺主呼吸，司呼吸之通畅，若肺部受损，则呼吸不畅，表现为喘息鼻胀。

为了缓解这种症状，中医通常采用一些具有宣肺平喘、通窍解表作用的中药进行治疗。例如，麻黄、杏仁、桔梗等中药具有宣肺平喘的作用，能够扩张气道、缓解喘息症状；辛夷、苍耳子等中药则具有通窍解表的作用，能够改善鼻腔通气、缓解鼻胀症状。
