Building a healthier future, together.
Xinguan and typhoid fever are two different diseases. The etiology of Xinguan is to feel the qi of "epidemic disease", and the basic pathogenesis is "dampness, heat, toxin and blood stasis", which is mainly symptomatic treatment; the etiology of typhoid fever is exogenous wind-cold pathogen, and the basic pathogenesis is cold pathogen binding exterior, and Yingwei is out of harmony, so the treatment method should be selected according to the condition. New crown virus (SARS-CoV-2) was named COVID-19 by WHO, belonging to the category of "epidemic disease" in traditional Chinese medicine. Its core etiology is to feel the qi of "epidemic disease", and the basic pathogenesis is" dampness, heat, poison and blood stasis". From the point of view of TCM, Xinguan and febrile diseases are two different diseases, their etiology, pathogenesis, symptoms and treatment methods are different. In terms of treatment, there is also a big difference between Xinguan and typhoid fever. Xinguan is mainly symptomatic treatment, such as antipyretic, cough, phlegm, etc.; typhoid fever needs to choose different treatment methods according to the severity of the disease, such as pungent and warm solution of the exterior, pungent and cool solution of the exterior, clearing away heat and detoxification, etc. It is important to note that although COVID-19 and typhoid fever are two different diseases, they may coexist or interact in some cases. For example, during COVID-19 outbreaks, some patients may be infected with both COVID-19 and typhoid bacilli, causing symptoms to worsen. Therefore, in the course of treatment, comprehensive treatment is required according to the specific situation to improve the treatment effect. In short, new crown and typhoid fever are two different diseases, their etiology, pathogenesis, symptoms and treatment methods are different.
