There are dozens of Chinese patent medicines commonly used in otorhinolaryngology, such as commercially available six-flavored dihuang pills, Huang’s ringing pill belongs to nourish yin and tonify the kidney and phlegm dispersal category, the hospital’s own production of Shunshikang capsule belongs to the category of qi tonification and strengthening of the spleen, Tiebifu particles belong to the category of tonifying the kidney and nourishing the blood and clearing the upper and lower levels of the subdepartment, and Tiebikang capsule belongs to the category of spleen tonification and tonification of the kidneys, which are subject to the attention of dietary contraindications during the period of taking the medicine. The specific scientific reasoning can be summarized as follows: In order to maximize the therapeutic effect of the drug, as far as possible to avoid adverse reactions, traditional Chinese medicine is very concerned about the dietary contraindications when taking Chinese medicine. Our daily consumption of fish, meat, poultry, eggs, vegetables, fruits and oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea have their own properties and nutritional value, to maintain the normal function of the body and the state of equilibrium, the occurrence of disease, development and regression, the therapeutic effect of the drug and the adverse effects, may have a greater or lesser certain effects. From a scientific point of view, the main dietary taboos can be summarized as follows: 1, avoid cold. Raw and cold food properties cold, not easy to digest. This kind of food is easy to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, interfere with the gastrointestinal absorption of drugs. Therefore, in the treatment of “cold” in Chinese medicine, such as warming the meridians and collaterals, dispel cold and dampness medicine, or spleen and stomach medicine, must avoid cold food. 2, avoid greasy. Greasy food properties viscous, help dampness and phlegm, slippery bowel stagnation, not easy to digest and absorb, and greasy food and drug mixing can hinder the gastrointestinal absorption rate of the active ingredients of the drug, and reduce the efficacy. During the period of taking Chinese medicine, especially before and after taking medicine within 1 hour, such as eating meat and greasy food, is bound to affect the absorption of Chinese medicine. Some patients are weak spleen and stomach, phlegm and dampness, dyspepsia, some suffer from hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, high blood viscosity and obesity and other diseases, should avoid eating animal fats and other greasy things. 3, avoid fishy and stinky. Chinese medicine has an aromatic odor, especially aromatic dampness, aromatic gas medicine, contains a large number of volatile oil, rely on to play a therapeutic role, this kind of aromatic substances and fishy smell is most incompatible. If you take Chinese medicine does not avoid fishy, often affect the efficacy of the medicine. Such as fish, shrimp, seafood fishy, cattle and sheep stink. Therefore, allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, sores, eczema, urticaria and other patients, taking traditional Chinese medicine should avoid eating fishy things, eat less chicken, sheep, pork, crab, goose and other fishy spicy stimulation of the hair. This kind of food contains heterogeneous protein, part of the idiosyncratic constitution patients are very easy to induce allergic reactions, is likely to cause the adverse consequences of aggravation. 4, avoid spicy. Spicy food is warm and hot, consume gas and fire. Taking heat and toxin, yin increase fluid, cool blood and nourish yin and other traditional Chinese medicine or carbuncle ulcers and sores and other hot diseases during the treatment, should be avoided spicy food. Such as onions, garlic, pepper, mutton, dog meat and other spicy hot products, such as food, may offset the effect of traditional Chinese medicine, some are also prone to induce inflammation, yin moving blood (bleeding). 5, avoid radish. Taking Chinese medicine should not eat raw radish (except for the service of qi and phlegm medicine), because radish has elimination of food, broken gas and other effects, especially when taking ginseng, ginseng, astragalus and other nourishing traditional Chinese medicine, eat radish will weaken the tonic effect of these drugs, reduce the efficacy of the medicine, significantly affecting the therapeutic effect. 6, avoid strong tea. Tea is rich in tannic acid, so the tannic acid content of strong tea is very high, and Chinese medicine with or before and after taking medicines within 1 hour of drinking, are likely to affect the body’s absorption of the active ingredients of Chinese medicine, reduce the efficacy of drugs.
