At the beginning of symptoms such as chills, throat discomfort, dry mouth, and mild cough, immediately using the methods of traditional Chinese medicine, can reduce the temperature of fever, and reduce throat pain, muscle soreness, headache, and other symptoms.

According to the symptoms of this Omicron infection, most people at the early stage of infection belong to the cold evil invading the body, with the following symptoms:

Ephedra soup is used. The reference prescription is as follows:

Roasted ephedra 6g, cassia branch 12g, almonds 12g, Moxibustion licorice 6g. This prescription to drink, generally, one or two pay can sweat, and relieve symptoms.

(2) Dietary therapy method

At the beginning of the disease and after illness, the use of dietary therapy can also help to cool sweat and reduce symptoms. It’s also more important. The method I use is:

White radish (with skin) 300g, cut into slices, three pieces of ginger, a section of green onion about 3cm, add about 600-800ml of water, boil and simmer for 30 minutes after strain, add brown sugar seasoning and drink, 150-200ml adults each time, children each 50-100ml. Drink three times a day. It helps to reduce the temperature of the fever and helps to cool down sweating. It also has the effect of relieving cough, expectorating phlegm, and relieving sore throat. Later if the throat has phlegm or a foreign body sensation, can add 5 grams of tangerine peel and boil together.

(3) Acupoint massage

One is to knead the Dazhui, the five fingers together, slightly lower the head and the fingertips into the Dazhui point, clockwise and counterclockwise respectively 32 times.

The second is the point of Tiantu point, this point in the middle of the throat at the bottom of the concave, with the thumb point kneading, is still clockwise and counterclockwise kneading 32 times. The pain of day protrusion point knead is obvious, we feel an appropriate force on the line.

Four is to rub the heart of the foot, the hand first rub hot, and rub the center clockwise 64 times. Do this every 4-6 hours every day.

If you have a headache, you can add the foot of the Taichong point, with the thumb point rubbing method, in clockwise and counterclockwise directions 32 times.

The above acupoint massage method is relatively simple, morning, afternoon, and evening can be done once a day.

At the beginning of the infection, the general dry mouth is not too heavy, just drink the right amount of water.

Two. Fever period

Due to the invasion of the virus, the symptoms of fever are relatively fast, generally appearing on the same day, the temperature began to rise in the afternoon or evening, and the fever aggravated in the evening. There are individual differences in the time of fever. My child’s fever subsided after two days, while the adult fever subsided after only one day.

Physical cooling treatment of fever:

Fever as far as possible to use physical cooling, the method is estimated that everyone can do Baidu. Children and the elderly usually need to take antipyretic medicine if their fever exceeds 38.5℃. But this time my family and I had the highest fever of 38.5℃, because of the early drinking of radish water and acupoint massage, not very uncomfortable, did not take antipyretic medicine, the next day began to reduce fever, even if the child had a fever on the third day, but the highest is only 38.2℃.

Traditional Chinese medicine to feel pestilence pathogenic heat:

Symptoms: chills, fever, sore throat, headache, bulging eyes, dry mouth, irritability, red tongue, white or yellow moss. Big Green Dragon soup is used at this time. The reference prescription is as follows:

12 grams of cassia branch, 6 grams of processed ephedra, 12 grams of almonds, 30 grams of gypsum (fried first), 5 grams of ginger, 2 jujube, and 6 grams of processed licorice.

Sometimes phlegm sticks to the throat very uncomfortable, drinking radish water with tangerine peel after the throat symptoms will be significantly relieved.

Third, The recovery period

After the fever goes into the recovery period of the body, the mental state, appetite, and physical strength will begin to recover, but there will be symptoms of cough and spitting. If the fever period has a severe sore throat, after the sore throat is reduced, there will be symptoms of foreign body sensation blockage in the throat. At this time you can drink radish and tangerine peel, and Sichuan shellfish boil water, for cough and expectorant effect is better.
