Choking on water is a condition in which the patient tends to choke on liquids that are highly liquid and cause violent coughing in the windpipe. If this symptom occurs frequently, it increases the chance of infection in the airways, which often has serious consequences for the frail elderly and patients. Choking on drinking water is a common clinical symptom, which occurs more frequently in stroke patients with central nervous system damage, and in the elderly because of decreased body coordination. Choking on water is also common in the treatment of tumors. Choking on drinking water may occur when the recurrent laryngeal nerve is damaged during surgery for lung cancer or when the recurrent laryngeal nerve is pressed by tumor progression. Due to the seriousness of the symptom, it even affects the diet and brings great pain to the patient. When I first encountered such patients in the clinic, I often felt that there was no way to start the treatment. Moreover, most western doctors had already told the patients that the damage to the nerve was irreversible, so there was no way to treat it. Therefore, many patients did not seek treatment even though their symptoms were obvious. After listening to the director’s lecture, I realized that although the symptoms were caused by the damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, Chinese herbal medicine was still effective for a considerable number of patients. After that, he tried to find the effective prescription in the clinic, and after a period of time, he achieved some efficacy in the treatment of patients, but there were still cases of ineffectiveness. Later, he found that acupuncture was really useful in oncology clinic. Once by chance, I communicated with Swiss acupuncturists and learned about Director Sun Jianhua’s choking points, which are very useful. The patients often feel like a hammer after treatment. The efficacy of the treatment was further improved. From the exploration process of the treatment of this symptom, I deeply feel. For the treatment of disease, as a doctor must not give up the confidence to explore. If you categorize it as untreatable, it is impossible to find a cure. If you don’t give up exploring, after continuous efforts, many seemingly difficult diseases will find a cure. Secondly, as TCM doctors, we actually have many weapons at our disposal, such as oral Chinese medicine, external application, acupuncture, functional exercises, etc. The efficacy of a particular method may only be a part of the effect of the combination of multiple methods of TCM. In the western medicine to promote a large number of multidisciplinary integrated treatment today, as a variety of methods have always been the concept of integrated treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, we have to develop ideas, so that each of the therapeutic methods left behind by our ancestors can give full play to its due role.
