China News Service, April 21, according to the Russian Satellite News Agency, the number of patients with new coronary pneumonia in Russia has been rising recently. In the middle of last month, in order to help Chinese people in Russia to prevent and treat new coronary pneumonia, Chinese medicine doctors in Russia spontaneously established a team of Russian medicine experts for anti-epidemic.
So, how is the situation of Chinese in Russia during this month? How can patients help fight the epidemic through local Chinese medicine? Dr. Li Yunhai, president of the Russian Academy of Chinese Medicine and one of the leaders of the anti-epidemic expert group who has worked in Russia for nearly 20 years, talked about the prevention and treatment of new coronary pneumonia in the Russian Chinese community in the past month.
"On March 14th, we first established the Russian new coronary pneumonia consultation and guidance platform. Since then, the epidemic situation in Russia has been on a rising trend. After seeing this trend, our Chinese medical doctors in Russia gradually established a WeChat platform after consultation. , Mainly to do Chinese people's epidemic prevention guidance work. Many Chinese medicine practitioners are involved, there are currently more than 20 doctors, the average person can consult and guide about 15 people per day. Now our WeChat platform has reached 3, each platform has There are more than 500 people. "
From the early prevention methods to how to treat after the onset, the doctors of the expert group carefully guide the people who need help. Due to the lack of doctors ’protective equipment, there is a risk of cross-infection at the clinic. At present, mild patients are usually treated at home under the doctor ’s online guidance. They all learned simple scraping and acupuncture.
"In the early days, it was mainly to guide the Chinese to focus on prevention. After the onset of illness, instruct patients how to simply handle and self-help. As for seriously ill patients, help them how to go to the doctor. Early prevention and treatment of mild patients should be guided and taught. They use traditional Chinese medicine methods—scraping, moxibustion, and herbal medicine for self-prevention and treatment. ”
Chinese medicine treats new coronary pneumonia differently from Western medicine. Dr. Li said that in response to this epidemic, the main treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to help yang and yang, to help the body's own immune system to fully play its role in fighting the virus.
"The main principle of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is to assist positive qi, and to improve the body's immunity and stimulate the body's self-healing ability to achieve the purpose of treatment. In the early stage, some patients with mild disease can solve the problem by using traditional Chinese medicine alone. The effect of rehabilitation is very good Well, the time is short. Some patients can recover in about 3 to 5 days. "
Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Li and all the doctors of the expert group, many Chinese people in Russia have been cured, and some are in recovery. Guo, a Chinese in Russia, is a typical case cured by traditional Chinese medicine. On March 26, he felt unwell, measured his temperature, and had a high fever of 38 degrees. He called the emergency service for help. Russian doctors did a nucleic acid test for it, and prescribed some antiviral drugs, and told them to take medication at home. On the 29th, the nucleic acid test was positive. After 2 a.m. on the 30th, he developed chest tightness and shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and other symptoms, which eased after two hours. On the 31st, he sought help from the anti-epidemic expert group of Chinese medicine, and began to receive Chinese medicine treatment-drinking Chinese herbal medicine, scraping, and performing acupuncture. The next day, his symptoms eased. Three days later, Guo has basically recovered, but in order to consolidate the effect, he still insists on taking medicine and scraping. On April 7, he went to the hospital for another nucleic acid test. On the 9th, the result was negative. Dr. Li said that this patient is mild, relatively young, and has strong resistance. In addition, he is very cooperative with the treatment, so he recovers very quickly.
Speaking of the current situation in Russia, Dr. Li Yunhai is very worried. "Russia's current epidemic situation is not very optimistic. It is still in an upward stage and may reach its peak by the end of April and mid-May."
Dr. Li said that although the Russian government has not yet sought help from local Chinese medicine, all Chinese medicine doctors in Russia are ready to help Russia fight the epidemic together. As long as Russia needs it, they will do their best to help Russian doctors.
China has provided valuable experience to the world in this battle against the new coronavirus, and the role played by traditional Chinese medicine in this epidemic has also received much attention from the international community. Dr. Li said that it was time to draw attention to Chinese medicine.
"From the experience of practicing medicine for more than 20 years, Chinese medicine is indeed a national treasure in our country. In this epidemic, Chinese medicine has played a key role."
