Patient's question:
Recurrent cough, onset time: Spring, Autumn, Winter are prone to attacks.Laboratory test results: Dust mites, dust, weak positive; short ragweed, Artemisia, weak positive; cypress,,,, silver poplar, grass, wheat, weak positive; total IgE positive.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Cetirizine, Solumedrol, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide Oral Solution, generally ineffective.
Doctor's answer:
There are many treatment methods, but the most effective approach still requires traditional Chinese medicine regulation. During the recurrence phase, a combination of Chinese and Western medicine can completely eliminate symptoms and alleviate discomfort. In the relief phase, traditional Chinese medicine methods comprehensively evaluate and stabilize the constitution, improve physical fitness, enhance disease resistance, and either completely eliminate or significantly reduce symptom recurrence. Western medicine methods have poor therapeutic effects; most can only suppress symptoms. For acute or severe recurrences, hormone treatment such as dexamethasone is required.Traditional Chinese Medicine Methods: The best method is to take traditional Chinese medicine decoctions, but this is limited by the doctor's skill, and the effects vary. Patience is needed in taking them, as there may be no immediate noticeable results in the short term.
