Many patients with chronic illnesses often seek medical treatment from a variety of sources, which is due to the difficulty of treating chronic illnesses. Doctors have different clinical areas and specialize in certain types of diseases. Therefore, patients should find a doctor who has expertise in their own disease and can be trusted when treating their disease. Wang Ruiqi, Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College Patients should first listen carefully to the doctor’s analysis of the condition and treatment recommendations, and actively cooperate with the doctor to complete the implementation of various treatments. At the same time, it is also important to look at the effect of treatment. The effect of treatment is sometimes the key to decide whether to continue the treatment by this method, which is equally important for doctors and patients. The so-called therapeutic effect refers to the different degrees of reduction or change in the symptomatic manifestations of the disease through treatment, which includes changes in the cycle of attacks, duration, degree of manifestation and other aspects. In the author’s many years of experience in clinical treatment with Chinese medicine, for general diseases, most of the effects of Chinese medicine treatment will be seen within one or two days. Individual diseases can appear within a few minutes or hours. Even for difficult and stubborn diseases, the therapeutic response will mostly appear in about 3-5 days. For non-specific diseases, if a treatment does not work within a week, as a doctor you should consider adjusting the treatment. The patient should always tell the doctor how he feels. In this way, the disease can be recovered as soon as possible.
