As winter turns to spring, some patients with chronic respiratory diseases will experience changes in their condition due to various reasons, which can easily be mistaken for COVID-19. How should we distinguish between COVID-19 and chronic lung diseases?

First of all, there is a history of epidemiological contact, especially a history of close contact, after contact with these symptoms of fever, cough, fatigue, then at the time of examination,

sometimes you will find that the lymphocytes are reduced. A CT scan of the lungs will show some new ground-glass shadows of the lungs, some of which are flaky, so this one is highly suspicious.

Patients with pulmonary primary disease in this category, in this season, because of cold and other reasons, symptoms have worsened. For example, white sputum becomes yellow sputum,

thin sputum becomes thick sputum, wheezing and breathing difficulties are also aggravated. So symptoms like this are generally on the basis of the primary disease, and there are bacterial infections will appear.

The real identification is whether there is a history of contact, which is very important. If these elderly people who have the primary disease have stayed at home and have never been exposed to it, there is no need to worry too much.

How can the general public protect themselves? In particular, how should vulnerable people with low immunity and chronic diseases be protected?

So in terms of infectious diseases, the first is to find the source of infection and manage the source of infection; Second, cut off its transmission. Third, protect vulnerable populations.

For the general public, this new coronavirus is universally susceptible, and since it is universally susceptible, then do not say that I am well and I am not afraid. There is no saying that he will not be infected if he is strong,and the probability of infection at this time may be worse than that of weak body.

Therefore, in terms of prevention, the first thing is to avoid the source of infection. Chinese medicine in the "Inner classic" inside recorded "healthy qi, evil can not be done,

to avoid its poison gas." That is to say, if the general public, if they want to protect themselves, first of all, they want to increase their resistance, which means that the right qi is stored in the body, and evil cannot be done.

The second is to avoid the poison gas, which means that if I do not come into contact with this pathogen, I will not get sick. When it comes to prevention in Chinese medicine, avoidance is the most important thing.

Chinese medicine is very particular about the treatment of disease theory, it is divided into disease prevention first, both feeling to prevent eruption, 瘥 after the prevention of three cases.

The first disease prevention refers to people with chronic diseases, the elderly and the infirm, and the healthy qi deficiency, so when the disease comes, they can increase their resistance by supporting the right.

The second is the sense of preventing eruption, that is, contact with this toxic evil, then it is like a seed placed in the soil, just began to sprout, through the prevention of traditional Chinese medicine to kill it in the bud.

Preventive drugs like this are not righting drugs, but drugs used for treatment, such as heat-clearing and detoxification drugs, which are OK for this stage. As long as I am in contact with the toxic evil, then I prevent it from germinating by eating some heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs.

Finally, defensive return. Prevent the recurrence of the disease after the patient is discharged from the hospital.

Traditional Chinese medicine also has a saying at this time, to prevent overwork and fatigue, to prevent spicy and greasy diet, which is some of the theories of traditional Chinese medicine through the treatment of disease, to achieve some methods of prevention.

At present, what are the effective treatments that can speed up the healing of patients? What important role has traditional Chinese medicine played? What are your suggestions for improving the cure rate?

In the words of traditional Chinese medicine, the theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment, then there is a theory called the treatment of different diseases. First of all, different diseases, showing the same symptoms, I use the same treatment.

From ancient times to modern times, there is a lot of experience in the treatment of plague, so through these methods, through this method of treating different diseases together, combined with the historical experience in the treatment of plague,

our method is effective. Because of the role of traditional Chinese medicine, on the one hand, some heat-clearing and detoxification drugs have a certain effect on inhibiting the virus, on the other hand,

from the clinical point of view, in the treatment of influenza virus infection, we found that in addition to its antiviral effect, for the treatment of immune damage, traditional Chinese medicine heat-clearing and detoxification drugs are also very effective.
