Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. I'd like to know how effective traditional Chinese medicine treatment is for chronic bronchitis.Doctor's answer:
Chronic emphysema does not currently have a specific treatment method, especially it is necessary to carefully check whether an acute infection has recurred. If there is bacterial inflammation, antibiotics need to be used for anti-inflammatory treatment in the early stage. At the same time, it can also be combined with traditional Chinese medicine or herbal medicine. It is necessary to integrate the patient's constitution and need to confirm the constitution through TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment before confirming whether it is possible to combine Chinese and Western medicine.
