4. Experts’ reminders
1.Syndrome differentiation and treatment are very important: Professor Wang from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine pointed out in a recent live broadcast that lung fire is divided into actual fire and deficient fire. For excess fire, bitter and cold medicines such as scutellaria baicalensis and gardenia are suitable, while for deficient fire, yin-nourishing medicines such as Ophiopogon japonicus and Adenophora japonicus are needed.
2.Be wary of internet celebrity folk remedies: The director of the respiratory department of a tertiary hospital emphasized in a health science popularization that the recently popular "Sichuan clam stewed with pears is omnipotent" has a misunderstanding, and its use may aggravate the condition of cold cough.
3.Medication cycle control: Most heat-clearing traditional Chinese medicines are recommended to be taken continuously for no more than 7 days. If symptoms are not relieved, you need to seek medical treatment in time.
