Patient's question:
I had a car accident once, which resulted in intracranial injury. I've had surgery more than half a month ago, but still find swelling present and difficult to eliminate. Currently, I'm not very clear-headed and don't know how to get rid of the swelling?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to seek a thorough diagnosis and differentiation from a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practitioner, using a combination of herbal medicine and acupuncture for the best comprehensive regulation. It needs to be reminded that it is quite difficult to find a TCM practitioner who truly diagnoses and treats from a TCM perspective at the moment. Even those TCM hospitals with a nameplate have already been Westernized, as vested interests make it hard for them to treat from a traditional TCM perspective. It is better to go to the grassroots level and seek out the hidden old TCM practitioners in the countryside.
