Chinanews.com, December 7th. The Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on the 7th to further optimize and implement epidemic prevention and control measures.
At the meeting, Guo Yanhong, director of the Medical Emergency Department of the National Health and Health Commission, said that there is no need to hoard or rush to buy medicines. With the deployment of the entire work, there are sufficient medicines, whether in drug sales outlets or in medical institutions.
Guo Yanhong pointed out that the Omicron mutant strain spreads quickly, is highly contagious, and spreads relatively insidiously.
However, as the virus mutates, the vast majority of infected people are mild and asymptomatic, and the proportion of severe cases is relatively small.
"In the past few years, we have accumulated a lot of experience in clinical diagnosis and treatment. For the treatment of diseases, we have also accumulated good treatment methods based on the characteristics and clinical manifestations of the virus." Guo Yanhong said.
For those infected with the new coronavirus, Guo Yanhong introduced that the first treatment is symptomatic treatment.
Some patients have fever, sore throat, and cough. For these symptoms, symptomatic treatment is mainly given, such as giving some antipyretic drugs, and some drugs for relieving cough and reducing phlegm.
Second, antiviral drugs. In recent years, there has been a lot of progress in the research of antiviral drugs. For patients with common type or risk factors for severe disease, antiviral treatment can be given as early as possible to reduce the transformation to severe disease.
But antiviral drugs must be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
Third, in recent years we have had very good traditional Chinese medicine. In terms of disease treatment, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine and the equal emphasis on both are also very important.
Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment of viral infections, so it should be said that some good traditional Chinese medicines can also be used as a very good choice for treatment.
Fourth, during the treatment process, special attention should be paid to both the treatment of new coronary pneumonia and the treatment of basic diseases. You should not stop taking medicines for basic diseases just because you are infected with the new crown, such as patients with diabetes and high blood pressure. The treatment cannot be interrupted.
Therefore, while treating the new crown, special attention should also be paid to the continuous treatment of underlying diseases.
Guo Yanhong also mentioned that related drugs are indispensable in the treatment of the new crown. We have asked medical institutions above the county level to strengthen the treatment of these symptomatic drugs and antiviral drugs, including traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine and other drugs, including antigenic Reagents, make certain preparations.
At the same time, through hierarchical and classified treatment, many infected people will choose home treatment, so we require grassroots medical institutions and drug retail outlets to make corresponding preparations to ensure the availability of drugs.
We will also let everyone know how to use these drugs and how to use antigen reagents in a variety of ways to ensure the safety of medication.
Guo Yanhong emphasized that there is no need for everyone to hoard and snap up medicines.
With the deployment of the whole work, whether it is in the drug sales outlets, or in the medical institutions, these drugs are sufficient.
