Question
Should I choose Chinese or Western medicine for my infant’s asthmatic bronchitis? Will the disease be less likely to recur if I take Chinese medicine? I currently have two expert prescriptions, one for Western medicine and one for Chinese medicine. However, the last time I used Western medicine’s anti-inflammatory drugs, my baby’s stomach and intestines were damaged, and it took half a day to recover. Therefore, I want to switch to Chinese medicine, but I’m worried that my baby won’t take it. So, I would like to ask which esteemed doctor can resolve my confusion! Thank you very much!
Answer
Western medicine can be used to treat asthma bronchitis, but it is important to avoid damaging the stomach and intestines. It is recommended to use Cordyceps soup, which has the effect of “tonifying the lung and kidney, stopping bleeding and expectorating,” which can improve the condition.
