They are mainly used for sores, canker sores and swellings, dancers, plague, mumps, sore throat, dysentery, cancer and other acute febrile diseases. Modern research has confirmed that Chinese herbal medicines for clearing heat and detoxification have antibacterial, antiviral, antitoxin, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and immune function regulation effects. In addition, the clinical use of heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of various infectious diseases has been common, and certain efficacy has been achieved. Therefore, there are often people equate the Chinese patent medicine and antibiotics, and call it “Chinese medicine antibiotics”. In fact, this understanding is one-sided. The first thing is, although the Chinese patent medicine to clear the heat and detoxification has different degrees of anti-pathogenic effect, but it is not the same concept with antibiotics. For some infections with mild symptoms, such as bacterial infections and viral infections in the early stage, the main clinical manifestation is heat toxicity, direct use of heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese patent medicines can not only improve the symptoms, but also some heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese patent medicines have synergistic effects with antibiotics, and the combined application can enhance the antibacterial effect, alleviate bacterial resistance and reduce antibiotic abuse. Secondly, although the heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese patent medicines have certain antibacterial effect, but the effect is moderate and the antibacterial ability and antibacterial spectrum is far from being compared with antibiotics. For serious infections, if you use a single fever and detoxification Chinese medicine, the efficacy is difficult to ensure, but it will cause the condition to be prolonged and even aggravated. Therefore, if the condition does not improve after 3 days of medication, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further consultation and treatment. In addition, Chinese medicine emphasizes “treating with evidence”, and Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying toxins is suitable for headache and fever, thirst and sore throat, furuncle and carbuncle, dysentery and pus, and eczema caused by external wind-heat or internal heat poisoning; it is not suitable for cold, slight fever, headache and nasal congestion, sneezing, clear nose, coughing, coughing up white sputum, not sweating, not wanting to drink water, etc. It is not suitable for those who are cold, have headache, nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, coughing, coughing up white phlegm, not sweating, and do not want to drink water. The use of Chinese herbal medicines to clear heat and detoxify the body is contraindicated. The use of Chinese herbal medicines to clear heat and detoxify the body is bitter and cold, which can damage the spleen and stomach and cause loss of appetite, abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea. In addition, research has confirmed that Chinese patent medicines containing niu huang and gypsum are not to be used in combination with tetracycline and neomycin. These pCms include Niuhuang detoxification tablets, Niuhuang anti-inflammatory pills, Fangfengtongsheng pills, Zixuetan and so on. These Chinese medicines contain calcium, magnesium, iron and other metal ions, and when combined with tetracyclines, they will form complexes that are difficult to absorb, thus reducing their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The combination of Niuhuang detoxification tablet and neomycin, the component of Niuhuang detoxification tablet, arsenic sulfide, can produce toxic substances such as sulfate hydride in the gastrointestinal tract with the sulfate of neomycin, which is not good for health. In conclusion, heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese medicines cannot completely replace antibiotics, therefore, we should not abuse them at will and, if necessary, we are advised to seek the help of a doctor. 1.
