Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Which part of the body is best to apply the asthma patch?Doctor's answer:
The asthma patches sold in pharmacies are generally applied to the Tian (CV22), Dingchuan (BL11), and Tanzhong (CV6) acupoints. Asthma patches can temporarily provide some relief for wheezing, but they do not cure the condition. Therefore, if asthma recurs, timely antiviral or antiallergic treatment should be administered. During asthma flare-ups, it is important to keep the child's airways clear, ensure fresh air circulation, and maintain a moderate and comfortable temperature. Active participation in physical exercise is encouraged to regulate physical and mental health, as well as to maintain good personal hygiene.
