In our daily life, we will often see that many people take antibiotics after catching a cold, and many of my colleagues will come to me for advice on which type of antibiotics are more appropriate to take after they have fallen ill. In fact, 90% of colds are caused by viral infections, and taking antibiotics is often ineffective and can aggravate the condition if the patient is weak. I have also come across some patients who have been aggravated by taking antibiotics after catching a cold, so here are three cases for you. The first case is a colleague, a middle-aged woman, this patient is Saturday night after attending a banquet external wind chill, nasal runny nose, body temperature of 37 degrees 5, Sunday morning noon each take cefdinir 2 tablets, Monday symptoms aggravated, I volunteered to see her, then the symptoms are more than runny, body aches and pains, slight panic, very able to eat. The pulse was fine, the right side of the gateway was slightly strong, and the tongue was yellow and thick and slightly greasy. The patient is usually a deficient person, thin and white, her spleen and stomach are not good, and after she felt wind and cold, she took antibiotics, which are cold, resulting in panic in the pericardium, and the heat in the stomach, and the ability to eat. The patient still had soreness all over her body, indicating that the superficial evil had not completely fallen in, but the superficial cold had partially entered into the interior and turned into heat, so she was given Cushion and Asthma Pill, which is actually a medicine based on the main ingredient of Mao Xing Shi Gan Tang, which relieves the superficial and clears the interior heat. The second case, a patient of my teacher, was noted down when I was copying the prescription with him. An elderly woman, 75 years old, with pneumonia, had been taking antibiotics (cephalosporins) for 3 weeks, and her lung shadow cleared up, but she developed shortness of breath and chest tightness, fatigue, body aches and pains, sometimes panic attacks, nausea, and nausea. This is the symptom caused by the overuse of antibiotics. After the teacher treated the patient with the method of supporting the righteousness and dispelling the evil in the late stage of the fever, the patient quickly improved. The third case is my own. When I was a resident, I was on ward duty. I had a cold, a fever, a rising temperature, and a slightly elevated blood count, so I treated myself with penicillin infusion, and ended up with a heart attack and frequent premature ventricular beats on the ECG monitor. Now that I think about it, it was a simple viral cold, so I could use Chinese medicine to bring out the evil qi, but unfortunately at that time, I didn’t understand this and didn’t treat it in the right way. The heavy workload of a resident doctor had already made me physically weak and my positive qi was insufficient, and I used the infusion method to put cold antibiotics into my body, which led to the internal trapping of the evil qi table, and the evil qi forced the pericardium internally, which aggravated my condition. The three cases are finished. In fact, not only do not abuse antibiotics for colds, there are many diseases that should not be treated with random antibiotics, such as chronic pharyngitis. Then some people ask, why my cold can only get better with an antibiotic infusion, and why so many people get better with antibiotic infusion symptoms without side effects such as heartburn? I would say that if you have a bacterial infection, applying antibiotics for symptom improvement is a reasonable use of medication. If you have a viral infection, then the antibiotic infusion does not really play the role that antibiotics should play, according to Chinese medicine, antibiotics are bitter cold drugs, cold can clear heat, so for some patients with real heat in the body, the positive energy does not fail, the antibiotic infusion is to play the role of clearing heat, this is the so-called “effective”. If you take the right herbal medicine to clear the heat and detoxify the body, you can also achieve this effect. The result of this is that the evil Qi will be trapped inside the body, leading to an aggravation of the disease. If you are taking antibiotics and you are not experiencing these conditions, it means that you are in relatively good health, and in the words of the people, you have a base and are still tough. However, if you take it many times and for a long time, you will definitely have a situation where your righteousness is damaged. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. Thanks to antibiotics. The main reason for this is that it is a silly reason for the people to lose antibiotics when they have a cold and fever. If you look into it, you will find that it is really not true. Today, we want to clarify the root of the problem and tell you: don’t abuse antibiotics to treat colds; if we are weak, the application of antibiotics will be counterproductive and aggravate our condition; what kind of medication should be used to treat colds, and how to distinguish between viral and bacterial infections? When is the right time to apply antibiotics? We need to seek help from our doctors in time.
