Can pneumonia be treated with traditional Chinese medicine

Whether pneumonia can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine should be judged according to the specific circumstances.

For mild pneumonia, it can generally be treated with traditional Chinese medicine that can clear away heat and phlegm, relieve cold and relieve lung cough, which can help alleviate symptoms and promote body recovery. But if it is severe pneumonia, it is not possible to simply take traditional Chinese medicine treatment at this time, otherwise it is easy to delay the disease. Antibiotics, glucocorticoids, gamma globulin and other western medicines should be used according to medical advice to promote inflammation regression.

In addition, pneumonia patients should pay attention to eating less fried, smoked, grilled and spicy foods, and eating more foods rich in protein and vitamins, which will help shorten the course of disease.
