Question
After 10 days of craniotomy, the patient’s brain edema has subsided, but they are suffering from severe pneumonia and have epilepsy prodromes. Additionally, the patient has diabetes. After treatment, their condition has worsened and is now life-threatening. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
For severe brain injury patients, complications such as pneumonia and brain edema may occur after surgery. In such cases, it is recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine treatment, as it can treat both internal and external issues. It not only eliminates surface symptoms but also regulates and restores the functions of the patient’s spleen, kidneys, lungs, and heart, achieving both symptomatic relief and root treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can complement each other’s strengths, providing comprehensive, systematic, scientific, and targeted therapy.
