At present, for the prevention of the new coronavirus, only different preventive formulas have been introduced in different places. The tripartite triple drug mentioned in the diagnostic and treatment program is used for the treatment of the new coronavirus, not its prevention. For the prevention of novel coronavirus pneumonia, the current mainstay is still vaccination against the novel coronavirus as well as general prevention, such as washing hands frequently and wearing face masks. The disease can be treated with Chinese herbal medicines under the guidance of a doctor’s diagnosis. For example, patients with mild forms of the disease who are characterized by cold-dampness and lung depression can use the Cold-Dampness-Epidemic formula. If the diagnosis of ordinary patients belongs to the syndrome of epidemic and poison with dryness, the formula of promoting the lung, moistening the dryness and detoxifying the poison can be used. For patients with severe disease, if the diagnosis belongs to the syndrome of epidemic and toxicity closing the lungs, the formula of transforming dampness and destroying toxins can be used. These medications should be taken under the supervision of a doctor, and the above formulas are only for treatment, and there is no clear evidence that they can be used to prevent new coronavirus pneumonia. If you are not feeling well, you should go to a regular medical institution in time and do not take medication without authorization. Note: The terms “new coronary pneumonia and new coronary virus pneumonia” mentioned in this article have been renamed to “new coronary virus infection” on December 26, 2022, as announced by the National Health Commission.
