Patient's question:
Cough with phlegm sounds like paper tearing. Past treatment and effectiveness: X-ray showed nothing in the lungs, but coughing improved after taking medicine. What kind of help is desired: Is it effective to eat stewed pear with Fritillaria cirrhosa? Can it be eaten many times a day?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is likely caused by bronchitis. It is necessary to conduct a detailed and thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis, and then actively treat it. First, daily diet should be appropriate, with increased fluid intake, attention to rest, and avoiding adverse impacts. Antibiotics such as penicillin and erythromycin should be used to actively suppress infection. For cough, drugs like expectorant and fast-relief can be used. When there is excessive phlegm, drugs like Mucosolvan can be applied. Most cases can improve with these treatments. As for the TCM herbs you mentioned, such as Fritillaria, they can also be used. However, specific treatment should follow the guidance of clinical diagnosis physicians. The above information is for reference.
