Question
The patient experienced a fever and cough on August 4, 2009, and after taking medication and receiving intravenous treatment, the symptoms did not alleviate quickly. Inquire about the methods of treating chronic laryngitis with traditional Chinese medicine.
Answer
Chronic laryngitis is difficult to cure completely. It is recommended to use the fruit of the monk fruit to make tea. Take one monk fruit, chop it up, and brew it in boiling water for 10 minutes before drinking. Take this tea 1 to 2 times a day, each time using one fruit. Additionally, you can choose to take prepared Chinese medicine such as Lianyan Ling (Throat Soothing), Shuishaoshen (Herba Sarcandrae), Baoan San (Security Powder), etc. Moreover, you can also brew tea for drinking by chopping up and infusing with boiling water herbs such as Shuanghua (Plum Blossom), Maidong (Ophiopogon japonicus), Pangaoda (Senna leaves), and raw Gancao (Licorice root). Alternatively, you can use Qingyan Drink, which includes ingredients like Wumei meat, raw Gancao, Shashen (Radix Adenophorae), Maidong, Jiegeng (Platycodon grandiflorus), and Yuan Shen (Panax ginseng) in equal parts. Take this drink three times a day, each time about 15 grams, brewed with boiling water.
