  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. Changes in the Cough Symptom Score (CSS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) were compared between groups, and adverse events were recorded. Results: After 2 weeks of treatment, the intervention group exhibited significantly lower CSS and VAS scores than the control group (P P Conclusion: Majing Zhike Granules markedly alleviate postoperative cough and improve cough-related quality of life in lung cancer patients, demonstrating good tolerability and potential clinical utility.
