Interpretation for everyone

▼

At present, patients infected with the new coronavirus will have one or more of the ten major symptoms, and there is no absolute and complete order of taking medicine for treatment. There are seven or eight kinds of medicine listed in the picture, including Western medicine and Chinese patent medicine. Each medicine has different effects, and different medicines have different effects. We need to take them according to their respective effects, rather than taking them in order .

The first type in the picture: Four Seasons Antiviral Mixture is a Chinese patent medicine that has the effects of dispelling wind, clearing heat and detoxifying. It can be considered for COVID-19 patients who have symptoms of internal heat such as sore throat.

The second type in the picture: Fenghan Cold Granules are a medicine for dispelling wind and relieving exterior symptoms. Generally, you can consider taking it when you have the flu, or have a stuffy nose, clear runny nose, but no sore throat.

The third and fourth types in the picture: Compound paracetamol and amantadine tablets and ibuprofen sustained-release capsules are mainly antipyretic and analgesic. Compound paracetamol and amantadine tablets are a compound preparation containing p-methylaminophenol. They can be considered for use when fever is accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose, and body aches. Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules are also commonly used antipyretic and analgesic drugs, generally used for fever accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, body aches, etc.

The fifth type in the picture: Lianhua Qingwen Capsule is a very popular medicine at present. It mainly plays the role of clearing away heat and detoxification, and ventilating the lungs and relieving heat. So when is it generally used and the effect is better? If you have nasal congestion, yellow runny nose, and sore throat, you can consider using Lianhua Qingwen Capsule.

The sixth type in the picture: Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Tablets are mainly used to clear away heat and detoxify, and are a bit stronger. Only consider using it if you have symptoms such as sore throat, runny yellow nose, coughing up yellow phlegm, etc.

Types 7 and 8 in the picture: Guoweikang mainly contains vitamin C, which is not a conventional medicine for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. It has no clear effect on improving the symptoms of the top ten symptoms of COVID-19.

Zeng Yuanfeng said that there are ten common symptoms in patients with COVID-19. Most of the eight medicines mentioned in the picture are only for upper respiratory tract symptoms . This picture does not mention that patients may experience digestive system symptoms such as loss of appetite and diarrhea. Therefore, when patients with COVID-19 show symptoms mainly manifested by the digestive system, taking only the medicines mentioned in the picture will not provide relief .

In addition, it is worth noting that

Is it necessary?

Doctor: No need!

" Families can prepare some medicines such as ibuprofen and Tylenol. As for the other medicines on the list, there is no need to prepare them ." The doctor said that whether it is Western medicine or Chinese patent medicine, it is important to prescribe the right medicine for the right disease.

Autumn and winter are the peak seasons for infectious diseases. If you feel unwell, especially if you have a high fever, you must go to the fever clinic to see a doctor immediately . Do not self-diagnose and treat based on hearsay on the Internet, so as not to delay the disease.

In addition to hoarding medicines, some people also hoarded medical equipment such as ventilators, oxygen concentrators, and blood oximeters. In this regard, doctors remind that if they are not used properly, it may delay the disease, so it is not recommended to buy home ventilators, oxygen therapy devices, etc. If you really need to use them, you must use them under the guidance and advice of a doctor.
