Patient's question:
5 years ago, I was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and have been completely cured. About 5-6 days ago, I had a fever or high fever, but I'm not sure of the specific cause. It led to continuous coughing, and I went to the hospital where I was prescribed traditional Chinese medicine and took it for 4 days, interspersed with taking cephalosporin and lung-cleaning syrup. Today, I received an intravenous infusion, but it had little effect and my condition hasn't improved. I'm still coughing continuously, struggling to clear thick mucus, and it's very difficult to breathe. It's likely that the thick mucus was caused by the fever.History of treatment and effectiveness:
5 years ago, I was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and have been completely cured.
What kind of assistance is needed:
Treatment methods or what medications to take.
Doctor's answer:
It is suspected that the old person's condition is likely due to dry phlegm. Although the lung cancer patient has been cured before, the recurrence rate of cancer is very high.Advice: Don't blindly give him medicine. You should take her to the hospital to see if the cancer has recurred.
Advice:
1. Consider going to the hospital for a chest X-ray and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment.
2. Have a Chinese medicine practitioner examine her. After the doctor provides a clear syndrome differentiation, Chinese medicine such as Baihe Gujin Wan or Jujiao Wan can be prescribed with modifications.
Doctor's inquiry: What color is the phlegm?
