Answer
It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine decoctions for treatment, as traditional Chinese medicine is effective against both bacteria and viruses and does not have issues with drug resistance. The treatment effect is superior to that of Western medicine taken orally or administered intravenously. Based on my clinical experience, the treatment effect of traditional Chinese medicine is far superior to that of Western medicine, and it is recommended to seek a qualified TCM practitioner for diagnosis and treatment.
