Patient's question:
When I was a child, I had pneumonia due to a fever, and then I kept getting colds, fever, coughing, and continuous yellow phlegm and yellow nasal discharge. In 2006, the hospital conducted a thorough examination and diagnosed me with bronchiectasis. Now, I cough every day, with continuous large amounts of yellow phlegm and yellow nasal discharge. I have received intravenous antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. At certain times, my condition improved, but it didn't last long and kept recurring. I cough every day, with a lot of thick yellow phlegm. I want to cure this hateful disease and get rid of the thick yellow phlegm! Thank you.Past treatment history and effectiveness: I have received intravenous antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. At certain times, my condition improved, but it didn't last long and kept recurring.
Desired type of help: How can I get rid of the hateful thick yellow phlegm?
Doctor's answer:
Your description primarily focuses on Western medicine-based treatments, but the therapeutic outcomes have not been particularly effective. This is mainly because many Western medications are hormone-based, which cannot address the root cause of the condition, only providing temporary relief. It is recommended to adopt Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) methods for a more stable approach. Currently, TCM treatments involve medication and physical therapy tailored to the patient's specific condition. This method is generally more effective than Western medicine and also offers certain regulatory benefits in the long term.
