Recently, the number of patients with respiratory tract infections has gradually increased, and some cases have shown an aggravating trend, which has attracted widespread attention. As an experienced veteran TCM practitioner, I would like to remind everyone that after a respiratory infection, you should pay special attention to the following 3 manifestations, which may be a sign of an aggravation of the disease.
First of all, the persistent high fever does not go away. Respiratory tract infections are often accompanied by fever, but if the patient continues to have a persistent high fever that is difficult to go away after the appropriate amount, a high index of suspicion is required for the condition to worsen. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, high fever is regarded as a manifestation of deep heat poison and needs to be treated in time.
Secondly, the cough lasts too long. Respiratory infections are often accompanied by coughing, which is the body's natural defense mechanism. However, if the cough persists for too long, especially if the cough becomes severe or accompanied by difficulty breathing, it may mean that the condition is getting worse. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, cough that does not heal for a long time is often related to phlegm and heat stagnation, lung heat and lung dryness, etc., which need to be relieved by traditional Chinese medicine conditioning in time.
Finally, dyspnea worsens significantly. Normally, the respiratory system does not experience significant difficulty, but if the patient experiences significant worsening breathing after a respiratory infection, it may mean that the infection has spread to the lungs or other vital organs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the aggravation of dyspnea is often related to lung loss and qi blockage, and it is necessary to carry out TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment in time.
In short, in the process of respiratory tract infection, patients need to pay close attention to the changes in their own condition. If you have persistent high fever, prolonged cough and significantly worsening dyspnea, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and seek help from a professional TCM practitioner. Traditional Chinese medicine can prescribe the right medicine according to the specific condition of the patient, and use acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine and other comprehensive ** conditioning to restore the body's self-healing ability.
