👇👇👇

In the trial implementation of the 10th version of the plan, guidance on TCM treatment of severe and critical cases was strengthened, and the method of using medicine according to symptoms was added;

In addition, based on the situation that some patients have obvious cough during the recovery period, traditional Chinese medicine treatment measures are provided.

So next, [West China Doctors] are going to explain to you all at once how to use Chinese patent medicine after being infected with the new coronavirus? How to choose medicine? How to regulate your body after "Yang Kang"?

01

Is it really effective to take Chinese medicine after being infected with Omicron?

Traditional Chinese medicine has good clinical efficacy in treating various types of new coronavirus infection, especially it can significantly improve patients' clinical symptoms such as fever, dry and sore throat, joint pain, fatigue, etc. At the same time, it can shorten the time for nucleic acid to turn negative and enable patients to recover quickly.

Although the new coronavirus is highly contagious, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the core pathogenesis of infection with the new coronavirus Omicron variant has not undergone fundamental changes.

👇👇👇

Most infected people show symptoms such as fever, dry and sore throat, joint pain, fatigue, or dry cough and hoarseness , which have the attributes of "wind-heat". The original "dampness and poison" attributes, especially the heavy and lingering dampness and its toxic nature, have been significantly reduced, but still exist.

Therefore, the core pathogenesis of infection with the Omicron variant is "wind-heat, toxic evil and dampness", and the general treatment principles are the same, "one method for 10,000 people".

However, Chinese medicine believes that it is a cold and damp epidemic, and cold hurts Yang. Some people become afraid of wind and cold after Yang or Yang is healthy, and even their legs are as cold as popsicles. They need to be treated by warming Yang and dispersing cold, or warming the spleen and kidneys, etc.

"One method, multiple prescriptions" "One method, multiple medicines" The treatment of specific symptoms should vary according to time, place and person, and the treatment drugs should be selected based on the principles of "three causes" and "differentiation and treatment".

02

How should I choose Chinese medicine after infection?

According to the "Guidelines for Home Medicine Intervention for Patients Infected with COVID-19" and the guidelines issued by various regions, when using Chinese patent medicines, you can refer to the following three situations:

Recurrent coughing

👇Look here👇

👉 Corresponding symptoms: After early treatment, the body temperature generally returns to normal within 3 days, after which some patients will experience symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and hoarseness.

👉 Recommended medication:

① At this time, it is advisable to take Chinese patent medicines with lung-clearing and cough-relieving effects , such as Jizhi Syrup, Zhikebao, Tongxuan Lifei Pills, Lianhua Qingke Tablets, Xingbei Zhike Granules, etc.;

② For patients with obvious throat pain, take Chinese patent medicines with throat-clearing and pain-relieving effects for 3 days , such as Liushen Capsules, Qingyan Drop Pills, Jinhoujian, etc.;

③ In the later stage, if you have dry throat, cough, fatigue and weakness , you can use Yifei Zhike Capsules.

Fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting

👇Look here👇

👉 Corresponding symptoms: Some patients experience obvious fatigue, as well as gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.

👉 Recommended medication:

① At this time, there is often dampness, so it is advisable to take Chinese patent medicines with the effect of removing dampness and relieving exterior symptoms , such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Fufang Xiangru Water, etc.;

② If you feel weak and don’t want to eat, you can take Shenling Baizhu Granules; if you have diarrhea and are afraid of cold, it is recommended to take Lizhong Pills.

Note: However, it is not advisable to take Chinese patent medicines for clearing heat and detoxifying at this time, so as not to cause diarrhea or worsen gastrointestinal symptoms.

Family with children

👇Look here👇

👉 Corresponding symptoms ①: Children with fever, dry and sore throat, and cough.

👉 Recommended medication: Jinzhen oral liquid, children's lung clearing oral liquid, etc.

👉 Corresponding symptoms②: such as fever, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, bad breath, sour and smelly stool or constipation.

👉 Recommended medication: Children's Chiqiao Qingre Granules, Children's Chaigui Antipyretic Granules, Xingpi Yanger Granules, etc.

Note: Due to the special physical condition of children, it is best to consult a pediatric Chinese medicine physician before taking medicine. For infants and young children, some non-drug treatments can also be used, such as massage, spinal massage, or Chinese medicine scraping, to relieve the symptoms of the child.

In short, for the new coronavirus infection, we must use drugs rationally and reasonably, and avoid rushing to seek medical treatment or taking drugs blindly.

If you experience symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, and persistent high fever, it is recommended that you go to the hospital as soon as possible.

03

What are the contraindications when taking Chinese patent medicine?

The most important taboo when taking medicine is: Do not blindly take multiple Chinese patent medicines with similar effects at the same time. It is best to use them dialectically under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner!

In the inherent concept of many people, they always think that Chinese medicine has fewer side effects than Western medicine, and even regard Chinese medicine as a kind of supplement. As long as it is effective, they will add it at will. This is absolutely not allowed!

Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, random superposition will cause damage to our body organs, and in severe cases it may even be life-threatening!

In addition, before taking medicine on your own, you should pay attention to the following 4 points:

👇👇👇

① Choose the appropriate medicine according to the instructions and read the indications, contraindications and adverse reactions of the medicine;

② If the symptoms are not relieved within 48 hours of taking the medicine, please go to the hospital or consult a professional doctor in time;

③ Chinese and Western medicines should not be taken at the same time. There should be at least 30 minutes between them. It is not recommended to take the same type of medicine at the same time.

④ The general medication period is 5-7 days, and excessive medication is not recommended.

04

The indications of Chinese patent medicines are divided into wind-cold and wind-heat. How do we distinguish them?

In fact, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the new coronavirus infection, regardless of whether it has the properties of wind-cold or wind-heat, will cause symptoms such as fever, fear of cold, fatigue, and sore throat.

Therefore, regardless of whether the clinical discomfort is caused by wind-cold or wind-heat, drugs with the function of dispelling the symptoms of colds will be effective. Of course, it will be more effective if professional doctors use the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to further distinguish between wind-cold and wind-heat for treatment.

Wind Chill

👉 Corresponding symptoms: Clinical manifestations include fever, obvious fear of cold, muscle aches, dry and sore throat, fatigue, nasal congestion and runny nose, cough, etc., which are mostly caused by wind-cold.

👉 Recommended medication: It is advisable to take Chinese patent medicine with the effect of dispelling wind and relieving exterior symptoms, such as Ganmao Qingre Granules, Jingfang Granules, Zheng Chaihuyin Granules, Qingjie Tuire Granules, etc.

Wind-heat

👉 Corresponding symptoms: Clinical manifestations include fever, obvious sore throat, mild fear of cold, muscle aches, fatigue, cough and other symptoms, which are mostly caused by wind-heat.

👉 Recommended medication: It is advisable to take Chinese patent medicine that has the effects of dispelling wind and heat, removing dampness and relieving exterior symptoms, or clearing heat and detoxifying, such as Lianhua Qingwen Capsules or Granules, Jinhua Qinggan Granules, Shufeng Jiedu Capsules, Xuanfei Baidu Granules, Qingfei Paidu Granules, Reyanning Mixture (Granules), Yinqiao Jiedu Granules, Lanqin Oral Liquid, Fufang Qinlan Oral Liquid, Tanreqing Capsules, Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Antiviral Oral Liquid, etc.

Important things to do before taking medication

Say it again!

● Never take several Chinese patent medicines at the same time, and don’t take Chinese and Western medicines at the same time . It is recommended that you use them dialectically under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner!

● Patients can choose one of the Chinese patent medicines according to their own symptoms and take it for 1-2 days according to the dosage in the instructions. If the symptoms are not significantly relieved or continue to worsen, please go to a regular medical institution for treatment in time.

● Special key groups: especially the elderly with chronic underlying diseases, cancer patients, patients with immune-related diseases, patients with chronic renal failure undergoing routine dialysis, etc. If these people are infected with the new coronavirus, they must consult a professional physician when taking Chinese patent medicine and use the medicine under the doctor's guidance.

05

Can Chinese medicine effectively improve "razor throat"?

Before treatment, we first need to know why "blade throat" occurs?

👇👇👇

"Blade throat" is a condition in which the mucosa around the glottis and vocal cords becomes congested and edematous. Generally, symptoms become apparent on the 3rd to 5th day of the disease.

After the acute phase of respiratory viral infection ends, viral replication is inhibited, inflammation is reduced, and edema improves, recovery will gradually occur.

Therefore, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, for those who have already developed "razor throat", they can use medication and acupuncture to alleviate and improve the condition:

👉 Recommended medications:

① You can add drugs that have the effects of relieving sore throat, relieving pain, detoxifying and relieving sore throat, such as Liushen Pills/Capsules, Qingyan Drops, Jinhoujian Spray, etc.;

②If your throat feels dry as if it were cut by a knife, you can take Xuanmai Citrus Granules and Lily Gujin Soup.

👉 Acupuncture treatment: The doctor can use acupuncture to prick Shaoshang acupoint, Shangyang acupoint, etc.

Note: If the sore throat continues to worsen after using the above two treatment methods, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for treatment in time.

06

After “Yang Kang”, the body feels exhausted. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, how can we regulate it to restore vitality?

After experiencing this "battle between the new coronavirus and immunity", our immunity is relatively low and our nutritional status is worse than before.

Therefore, in order to return to the physical condition before the infection, in addition to giving the body enough time to rest, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, we can also help the body recover through "dietary supplements" and "exercise"!

It is recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise within one month after the onset of Yang, and do not feel tired, anxious, or breathless. People who feel tired, anxious, or breathless should not exercise for the time being, and should lie down and rest more.
