Prophylaxis is not recommended
Zhang Wei said that Chinese medicine regards the new crown as an “epidemic disease”. The history of the development of Chinese medicine is the history of the fight against epidemic diseases. The history of the treatment of epidemic diseases has a long history in the Chinese nation. Compared with other epidemics in Chinese history, the new crown is more contagious, has greater influence, and has far-reaching social influence. Chinese medicine emphasizes prevention first.
Many citizens wonder whether people who have not been infected can avoid infection through preventive medicines. In this regard, Zhang Wei explained that Chinese medicine pays attention to the differentiation and treatment of the syndrome. Some people will be very cold (cold) when they get sick, and some people will be very hot (thermization).
Zhang Wei said that if you are infected with the new coronavirus and there is no suitable Chinese medicinal materials at home, you can actually use some alternative medicine and food methods for auxiliary treatment. For example, green onion, ginger and brown sugar water can be drunk when shivering and sweating occurs in the initial stage. At this stage, scraping, warming the abdomen, and drinking warm porridge can also help shorten the course of the disease; stewed fruit is also effective, and the pear is a very good food to nourish the lungs. Stewing for a while is good for the lungs. Oranges are neutral and fresh, and have the effect of eliminating the heat and nourish the lungs. Dry and warm food, such as durian and mango, should not be eaten during the period of prevention and illness.
Chinese medicine conditioning “recovery after recovery”

For example, fatigue and shortness of breath are manifestations of qi deficiency. , People with back pain and sweating can take Liuwei Dihuang pills and other invigorating kidney and Qi.
Zhang Wei reminded “Yangkang” that although the proportion of secondary infection in a short period of time is very low, if immunity is low, there is still the possibility of re-infection. Watch out for the common cold for the first two months after recovery. She suggested that the elderly and people with underlying diseases should do low-intensity, moderate exercises such as Baduanjin and Tai Chi to help them recover as soon as possible while actively treating the underlying diseases.
