Patient's question:
I used to have a slight stroke, but after treatment, my condition improved. However, some aftereffects remained. My friend said he also has aftereffects from a stroke and has been drinking Strong Kidney Wine, which has made him feel better and improved his physical condition. Is it effective for stroke aftereffects to drink Tong Mai Qiang Shen Wine?Doctor's answer:
Tong Mai Qiang Shen Jiu is not a medicine and does not have the effect of treating diseases. It is not advisable to blindly trust or rely on folk remedies or secret prescriptions for treating diseases, as this may worsen the condition and delay the improvement of symptoms. For patients with cerebral infarction, it is necessary to promptly go to the local hospital's neurology department to have their blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar levels, and heart and blood vessel diseases, as well as cerebral edema, checked carefully. After diagnosis, medication should be taken according to the doctor's advice, including anticoagulant drugs, to work together in combating the condition. This is to prevent the blood vessels from becoming blocked again.
