Patient's question:
My child has known about asthma since he was two years old. However, we haven't been to the hospital less and haven't taken less medicine, but he hasn't gotten better. It's just been controlled. Others told me that asthma can be tried with folk remedies, maybe it will work well, but I don't know if it will work.Doctor's answer:
Hello, asthma is a condition where the airways exhibit increased reactivity to certain physical or chemical factors, allergens, and medications, leading to reversible airway obstruction symptoms. Therefore, timely Western medicine control and treatment during the attack phase are still necessary, while Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be used during the remission phase for syndrome differentiation and treatment to reduce recurrence, which is feasible. Examples of formulas that can be selected based on syndrome differentiation include Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Blue Dragon Decoction), Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang (Guaicolored Gentian and Bitter Orange Decoction), Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction), and Yu Ping Feng San (Wind-Dispelling Powder).
