Once the patient has respiratory symptoms such as fever and cough, the doctor recommends that he should go to a regular medical institution for treatment in time, and the medical institution will conduct testing as needed to confirm the condition and give the correct way. According to the doctor, the Dalong Street Community Health Center provides patients with a number of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy projects, and acupoint application and ultra-short wave** are effective methods for acute upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis and other diseases. Acupuncture points are applied according to the patient's symptoms, and the ultra-short wave** can be anti-inflammatory, phlegm, and expectorant. In addition, those who cough up yellow phlegm can soak mulberry leaves and chrysanthemums to clear heat and dissolve phlegm, and those who have a dry cough can stew Chuanbei and Sydney pear soup to moisten the lungs and relieve cough.
