The current epidemic of new type A H1N1 influenza in China is severe, with the number of deaths climbing. For a while there was an atmosphere of panic in the society. As a result, there are advertisements for anti-flu A Chinese medicine in major pharmacies, and the much-anticipated Lianhua Qingpu capsule has become a sought-after item, with many pharmacies once sold out. Many families bought a lot of these drugs to stock up on in case of emergency. Is this the right thing to do? Obviously is not correct. Currently the only effective drugs against influenza A (H1N1) virus is the neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir and zanamivir. After accurate identification, the targeted application of proprietary Chinese medicines, Chinese herbal medicine in the treatment of anti-influenza A is beneficial. However, it is obviously incorrect to blindly stockpile these proprietary Chinese medicines as a panacea for influenza A, or even as a means of preventive application. The treatment of TCM should first be based on the diagnosis and treatment. For example, Lianhua Qing Fever Capsules, which is based on the Chinese medicine Ma Heng Shi Gan Tang with the addition of reduction, is effective in clearing the plague and detoxifying the lung and draining heat. It is used to treat patients with heat toxins attacking the lung (high fever, cough, sticky phlegm, thirst, sore throat, red eyes, red tongue with yellow coating and slippery pulse). But nowadays, many people take it as a universal cold remedy without fever and only sore throat or runny nose, or even apply it prophylactically without any symptoms is obviously not the right evidence, contrary to the principle of diagnosis and treatment in Chinese medicine, not only does it have no positive effect but also people with weak and cold constitution may have adverse reactions such as loss of appetite and diarrhea, so it is wrong. So how should we deal with the rampant flu? Wearing masks, washing hands regularly, ventilating more often and going to less populated places are relatively effective methods. This kind of mask is waterproof inside and outside and has a non-woven layer in the middle, which can effectively block about 92% of non-oil particles. When wearing it, pay attention to the colored side outward and the white side inward. After wearing it, shape the nose clip to fit the bridge of the nose and face. Wash your hands regularly, with flowing water according to the 6-step hand washing method is best. Winter cold, room ventilation is easy to be ignored, the amount of ventilation in general families to be able to blow the curtains of the wind continuous ventilation 15-20 minutes is appropriate. Also pay attention to minimize the number of people going to densely populated places, especially indoor unventilated crowded areas. Finally, if you suddenly develop a high fever with coughing and wheezing, breathing difficulties or even coughing pus and blood sputum, go to the hospital in time not to delay the condition.
