How to treat whooping cough in Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Because the treatment process of whooping cough is very long, we can choose to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat whooping cough. There are many benefits to using traditional Chinese medicine to treat whooping cough. The main reason is that traditional Chinese medicine has no toxic side effects and no drug resistance. The following editor will introduce some methods of treating whooping cough with traditional Chinese medicine in detail for your reference.

1. Take 3 grams of Stemona officinalis 3 times a day, decocted in water. Modern research has shown that the root of Stemona radix mainly contains stemonae, which can reduce the excitability of the respiratory center and inhibit the cough reflex, thus having an antitussive effect. In vitro experiments showed that the decoction and wine extract of Stemona tuber have inhibitory effects on various pathogenic bacteria such as Bordetella pertussis.

2. Cut 2-3 garlic heads into slices and fry with 120g sugar. Take it within one day for children over 3 years old and within 2 days for children under 2 years old.

3. Take 6-12g of Polygonum multiflorum and 1.5-3g of licorice, decocted in water and taken orally.

4. Verbena, 15-30 grams per day, decocted in water.

5. Bile, whose active ingredient is sodium cholate, inhibits Bordetella pertussis, reduces or eliminates the excitability of the middle lung, relieves bronchial smooth muscle spasms, and relieves spasmodic coughs. Commonly used dry bile powders are pig, cattle, sheep and chicken bile, 0.3-0.5 grams each time, twice a day; half a chicken bile per year, up to 3 pieces, 1-2 times a day. Baikeling tablets are made from chicken and pig bile. Children under 1 year old should take 1 tablet each time. Children over 10 years old should take 10 to 15 tablets each time, 3 times a day.

6. Heron Pills, 2 times a day, 1 pill each time.

7. Whooping cough syrup (consisting of Stemona, Bletilla striata, Ephedra, Licorice and Phragmites australis), twice a day, 10 ml each time for children aged 1 to 3 years, 15 ml each time for children aged 3 to 6 years, and 20 ml for children over 16 years old.

8. Take 30g each of fresh reed root and imperata root and 15g of wax gourd seeds, decocted in water and taken once a day.

Note: Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can help relieve phlegm and cough. Patients can also use antibiotics for treatment. At the same time, special attention should be paid to keeping the indoor air circulating and the room quiet, because this disease is easily contagious. This is good for the patient's condition.

Because whooping cough is a disease that seriously threatens children's lives, if we find that a child has this disease, we must attract the attention of the family members. The editor has given a clear explanation of the specific treatment of whooping cough above. I hope that the editor’s introduction above will be helpful to you. The editor reminds parents to pay more attention to the care of their children.
