Necrotizing pneumonia in children belongs to the category of “lung abscess” in traditional Chinese medicine. Heat, toxin, phlegm, and stasis are not only the pathological products, but important causes for the progression into the chronic stage of the disease. From the perspective of “heat, toxin, phlegm, stasis, deficiency”, the idea of differentiation and treatment of children's necrotizing pneumonia at the chronic stage is discussed, believing that not-cleared heat toxin, binding of phlegm and stasis, and
qi
-
yin
depletion are the core pathogenesis. Therefore, clearing heat and resolving toxins, dissolving phlegm and dispelling stasis, boosting
qi
and nourishing
yin
are the main treatment methods. The self-proposed
Qingfei Formula
(清肺方) can be mainly used for the treatment of necrotizing pneumonia in children at the chronic stage, providing ideas for clinical practice.
