  ABSTRACT: Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Majing Zhike Granules in relieving postoperative cough in lung cancer patients using multidimensional assessment tools. Methods: Sixty patients who developed cough after radical lung cancer surgery were randomly assigned to a control group or an intervention group (n = 30 each). The control group received routine postoperative and antitussive care, whereas the intervention group additionally received Majing Zhike Granules for 2 weeks.
