Features: This book includes 428 common household medications, with 212 Western medicines and 196 traditional Chinese medicines, two-thirds of which are over-the-counter drugs available for self-selection. It introduces 32 common symptoms frequently encountered at home, covering 132 common diseases that need to be identified. Such a vast amount of information is hard to match with many other medication books. The authors do not demand readers to read systematically (in fact, it is difficult to do so), but hope that when symptoms occasionally occur, readers can quickly flip to the relevant chapters and find the desired content. This only requires a few or minutes of your life. This "quick lookup, quick effect" is one of the book's key features. The book breaks away from the traditional model of discussing medicine in isolation from diseases, focusing on symptoms as the guide. It helps readers make simple distinctions based on the patterns of disease occurrence, and then selects appropriate medications accordingly. Therefore, "treating symptoms with medication" is the book's second key feature. To maximize convenience for readers and respect your time, the entire book is presented in tables, without lengthy explanations or complex medical terminology, making it easy to read and understand at a glance. After the initial draft was completed, opinions were sought from 18 early readers of the manuscript. They included government officials, middle school teachers, trade union cadres, military staff officers, associate researchers from research institutes, deputy general managers of companies, literary and historical editors, accountants, and retired elderly. They unanimously praised the book for being easy to understand and practical, calling it a rare and useful "medication guide." How do you feel about this book after reading it? If you find it practical, it indeed brings convenience to your medication use. Please share it with your relatives and friends. Although the book has been reviewed by medical experts, diseases are complex and individualized, and different people may exhibit different symptoms. Therefore, in this sense, the book only serves as a guide for family members when they are ill and using medication, and does not carry legal weight. "See a doctor when you are sick" is the best choice, and it should not be neglected for any reason. Esteemed colleagues in the intellectual community, why not leverage your advantages in culture and science to pay more attention to the health of yourself and your loved ones?
