Is it effective for tuberculosis to take Chinese medicine?

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease in the lungs caused by the invasion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis into human body under certain conditions.

Once tuberculosis is diagnosed, it should be treated in time, and its treatment principles are five principles: early, regular, whole course, moderate, combined and standardized treatment.

The whole treatment plan is divided into two stages: intensive period and consolidation period, with oral anti-tuberculosis drugs as the main treatment (unless multidrug-resistant tuberculosis sometimes needs intramuscular injection or intravenous administration), so the treatment of tuberculosis is mainly western medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine can be used as auxiliary treatment.

Therefore, in general, it is not easy to cure tuberculosis by Chinese medicine alone.

If you have tuberculosis, you should pay attention to the following aspects: 1. In order to prevent infection to others, we must do a good job of self-isolation, wear masks in public places, and try to isolate ourselves from family members at home to prevent infection to others. 2. In terms of nutrition, we should pay more attention to rest, rest more, eat more nutritious food and eat less spicy and irritating food. 3, we must strictly abide by the doctor's advice, improve compliance, in order to control tuberculosis as soon as possible, but also to prevent recurrence.

Preventive measures for pulmonary tuberculosis:

First, develop good hygiene habits and avoid infecting others.

Second, the infection period should be treated in isolation in the hospital, go to public places as little as possible, and often open the window for ventilation.

Third, quit smoking and drinking. Smoking will aggravate symptoms such as cough, expectoration and hemoptysis. Drinking alcohol will increase the burden on the liver. Alcohol can also dilate blood vessels and cause hemoptysis.

Tuberculosis is a long-term chronic consumptive disease, usually accompanied by malnutrition. Therefore, the diet of tuberculosis patients should pay attention to supplement enough calories and nutrients, and advocate a diet with high protein, high calories and high vitamins. You can eat more meat, fish and eggs rich in protein, as well as fruits and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins and cellulose.
