Patient's question:
Discovered at the age of 3, allergic asthma triggered by colds and a history of sensitive rhinitisDoctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: From a Western medicine perspective, Montelukast needs to be taken for a long time, at least three months.Advice: I recommend you consider finding a highly skilled TCM practitioner for herbal treatment. Based on my experience, I suggest taking herbal decoctions orally to control symptoms. The effectiveness of herbal decoctions in controlling asthma attacks is generally very good. After symptoms are controlled, you can then consider comprehensive methods to improve your immunity and reduce attacks:
1. During the summer Dog Days (or regular treatment is even better) for "treating winter diseases in summer," also known as "acupoint application during the Dog Days" (treatment for three to five days each year during the Dog Days, which can be done continuously for three to five years, very convenient). The treatment effect is relatively good.
2. You can take herbal decoctions for a long period to regulate your body and improve immunity. Herbal regulation needs to go beyond the conventional approach, focusing on the patient's "deficiency" and "cold" aspects rather than just solving cough and phlegm symptoms, in order to achieve better results.
3. To improve your constitution, you can take "Astragalus Granules" or "Yupingfeng Granules" for a long time. Taking them continuously for several months can gradually improve your constitution and reduce or alleviate the severity of attacks. However, persistence is required, as there is no immediate effect in the short term.
