Let's talk about the health things of Lichun
In China, tuberculosis is a common respiratory infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. According to the World Health Organization, about 1 in 3 percent of the global population has been infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but not all of them will develop active tuberculosis. When the body's immunity is weakened, Mycobacterium tuberculosis may multiply and lead to the development of tuberculosis. This article will introduce the four signs of tuberculosis, as well as the protocols of traditional Chinese and Western medicine**.
1. Four signs of tuberculosis.
1.Cough: prolonged, usually dry or with a small amount of white mucus sputum. Coughing worsens at night or early in the morning.
2.Sputum cough: The amount of sputum gradually increases, the initial stage is white mucus sputum, and as the course of the disease progresses, there may be blood in the sputum, yellow purulent sputum, etc.
3.Weight loss: Patients experience significant weight loss in a short period of time due to symptoms such as fever and loss of appetite caused by tuberculosis.
4.Low-grade fever: patients with tuberculosis often have fever in the afternoon or evening, with a temperature of 375℃~38.5, a small number of patients may have a high fever.
Second, the Western medicine ** program.
1.Anti-tuberculosis drugs**: are currently the main means of tuberculosis. Commonly used anti-tuberculosis drugs include isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, etc. Patients should follow the doctor's guidance and take the medication regularly, throughout and in sufficient amounts.
2.Support**: Includes nutritional support, rest, correction of water and electrolyte imbalances, etc., to help improve the patient's immunity and promote recovery.
3.Symptomatic**: If the symptoms such as fever and cough are severe, antipyretics, cough suppressants and other symptomatic symptoms can be used**.
4.Surgery**: For some patients who are more seriously ill and do not respond well to drugs, surgery may be used**.
3. Traditional Chinese medicine ** program.
1.TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment: Pulmonary tuberculosis belongs to the category of "tuberculosis" in TCM, and TCM** mainly conducts syndrome differentiation and treatment according to the manifestations of the disease. Common syndrome types include lung yin deficiency, yin deficiency and fire prosperity, qi and yin depletion, etc.
2.Traditional Chinese Medicine**: According to the results of syndrome differentiation, the corresponding Chinese medicine prescription is selected. For example, Yuehua pills can be added or subtracted for lung yin deficiency syndrome, lily solid gold decoction can be added or subtracted for yin deficiency and fire prosperity syndrome, and fidelity decoction can be added or subtracted for qi yin depletion syndrome.
3.Acupuncture**: Acupuncture can be performed at acupuncture points such as lung meridians, kidney meridians, and spleen meridians to regulate qi and blood and enhance immunity.
4.Dietary therapy: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dietary conditioning is of great significance to tuberculosis patients. You can choose foods that have the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing the lungs, nourishing blood and qi, such as white fungus, lily, lotus seeds, honey, etc.
4. Preventive measures.
1.Strengthen publicity and education: raise people's awareness of tuberculosis and enhance their awareness of disease prevention.
2.Early diagnosis: If a suspected case is detected, a sputum smear should be performed in a timely manner, and as soon as possible after the diagnosis**.
3.Control of transmission: People with tuberculosis should isolate** and avoid close contact with family members, relatives and friends.
4.Enhance immunity: Maintain good lifestyle habits, strengthen exercise, and improve your own immunity.
In conclusion, tuberculosis is a preventable and treatable disease. Once symptoms such as cough, sputum production, weight loss, and low-grade fever appear, you should seek medical attention in time, and strictly follow the doctor's instructions after diagnosis**. At the same time, maintaining a good attitude and facing the disease positively is also an important factor. I wish the majority of tuberculosis patients a speedy **!
