How to use different prescriptions for different regions?
On January 3, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on the medical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and experts responded to it.
It is related to the physique of people from the north and the south
"The separation of the north and the south in terms of treatment is based on the group syndrome differentiation plan of traditional Chinese medicine." Zhang Zhongde, director of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the use of different prescriptions in the north and the south is based on the syndrome differentiation of the vast majority of patients in different regions.
Zhang Zhongde explained that the seasons in the northeast and the north are cold, so the cold symptoms are particularly severe. There are many symptoms such as headache, sore throat, and joint pain all over the body, and the overall performance is afraid of cold; while the south is relatively hot in late October and early November The temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius, and the evil of dampness is heavy. After the rain, the evil of dampness and heat is especially severe. In addition, southerners like to take medicines that invigorate the spleen and warm the spleen. The patient's constitution and environmental factors are heavy with dampness and heat.
"In the process of treating diseases and ensuring health, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the 'three factors' (that is, adjusting measures to the time, place, and person)." Zhang Zhongde said that during the treatment process in the past few years, the clinical symptoms It does show the difference between the north and the south. Therefore, in view of the fact that most patients in the north have fever, fear of cold, and body pain, while those in the south mostly have high fever, sore throat, cough, phlegm, and constipation, Chinese medicine implements syndrome differentiation and treatment.
Personal medication should be symptomatic
So, how to choose medicine at home for different patients infected with the new coronavirus?
Liu Qingquan, president of the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that there are 70 kinds of Chinese patent medicines in the "Guidelines for the Intervention of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Patients Infected with New Coronavirus", and some provinces and cities have also recommended some Chinese patent medicines. It's actually a matter of treatment options.
"If the body temperature of the infected person returns to normal after early treatment, but the throat is still sore and the voice is hoarse, you can use the Chinese patent medicine of Xuanfei Zhike, such as Jizhi Syrup, Zhikebao, Tongxuanlifei Pills, etc." Liu Qingquan explained that if the throat The pain is obvious, and you can use Liushen Capsules, Liushen Pills, Qingyan Dropping Pills, Jinhoujian, etc. to relieve "blade throat".
"If the infected person has symptoms of fatigue, vomiting, and diarrhea, which are considered to be dampness in traditional Chinese medicine, drugs that remove dampness and relieve the exterior can be used, and different dosage forms of Huoxiang Zhengqi are recommended." Liu Qingquan said.
"After children develop fever, dry throat, sore throat, and cough, the symptoms often progress quickly. Medicines that can relieve wind and detoxify, clear away heat and relieve lungs, such as Jinzhen Oral Liquid and Children Qingfei Oral Liquid." Liu Qingquan said, and Some children have fever, do not want to eat, bloated stomach, bad breath, and dry stool. According to traditional Chinese medicine, they belong to accumulated heat and heavy stagnation. Traditional Chinese medicines that eliminate stagnation, clear heat and relieve lungs can be used, such as Xiaoer Chiqiao Qingre Oral Liquid, Xiaoer Chaigui Antipyretic particles, etc.
In addition, for infants and young children, massage, chiropractic, scraping and other methods can relieve the symptoms of children.
Liu Qingquan reminded that after 5-7 days of symptomatic medication for mild patients with new coronavirus infection, most of the clinical symptoms will disappear, and then they can recover with dietary adjustments, and do not take excessive medication.
Chinese medicine has advantages in coping with the "interweaving" situation
"Currently influenza, colds, and new crown infections are intertwined, and traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in treatment." Huang Luqi, deputy director of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, president of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, emphasized, "The three-year epidemic prevention and control process In this process, we have formed a Chinese plan that integrates traditional Chinese and Western medicine and uses both Chinese and Western medicine."
Traditional Chinese medicine can implement stratified intervention for infected people.
Huang Luqi introduced that traditional Chinese medicine can be used as the leading treatment for mild and ordinary patients, and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be used for severe and critical patients.
For mild and common patients, treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can shorten the virus clearance time, shorten the length of hospitalization, and relieve clinical symptoms; Integrative traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment can be carried out for patients with severe disease, which can effectively block or slow down the development of severe disease to critical disease, promote the transition from severe disease to mild disease, and reduce the mortality rate.
The above-mentioned curative effects were fully affirmed in the report of the World Health Organization's expert assessment meeting on the treatment of new crowns with traditional Chinese medicine in March 2022.
