Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age between 40-80 years, male or female; 2. Meets the diagnosis criteria for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; 3. Meets the diagnosis criteria for phlegm-dampness obstructing the lung; 4. Signs the informed consent form and voluntarily participates in this study.

Exclusion criteria

Subjects requiring invasive mechanical ventilation; 3. Subjects with a history of pulmonary surgery within the past 12 months; 4.

Subjects with severe impairment of heart, liver, or kidney function (e.g., heart function class 3-4, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) exceeding twice the upper limit of normal, serum creatinine (Scr) exceeding 1.5 times the upper limit of normal); 6. Subjects with severe immunosuppressive diseases or long-term use of immunosuppressive agents (e.g., HIV infection, active pulmonary tuberculosis, invasive fungal infection, malignant tumors, organ transplantation, etc.); 7. Subjects who have used traditional Chinese medicine with cough-suppressing, expectorant, or bronchodilator effects within 2 weeks prior to enrollment; 8. Subjects who have participated in or are currently participating in other clinical drug trials within the past 3 months; 9.
