Patient's question:
My father-in-law has been suffering from bronchitis for several years. He has tried many methods, but none have been particularly effective. Now he wants to try Chinese medicine. What Chinese herbal medicines can help treat bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
Bronchitis is a chronic illness. Generally, it cannot be cured. Preventive measures should be taken in daily life, such as exercising more, not smoking, drinking plenty of water, and regularly training, resting, and having dinner. It is best to avoid catching a cold. If the condition improves, you can take many antibiotics and then immediately seek medical treatment from a local professional healthcare institution. It is also common to steep herbs like licorice and honeysuckle in water for drinking. This can help alleviate the symptoms.
