Lung consumption and lung flaccidity were two different diseases. Although they both occurred in the lungs, there were some differences that could be used to differentiate them. Lung flaccidity was a disease caused by many chronic diseases in the lung. It was mainly manifested as coughing, spitting, and saliva. On the other hand, the symptoms of phthisis were cough, hemoptysis, hot flashes, night sweats, and so on. It was contagious. Lung flaccidity could be the later transformation of lung consumption, but lung consumption was not equal to lung flaccidity. The two had different degrees of cause and effect. Therefore, by observing the symptoms and understanding the medical history, it was possible to differentiate between consumption and lung flaccidity.
The treatment methods for phthisis mainly included medication and Chinese medicine treatment. Drug therapy was the most commonly used method for consumption, usually using a combination of anti-inflammatory drugs. Commonly used drugs included isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamid, and ethambutal. The treatment time was usually six months or longer, depending on the patient's condition and the doctor's recommendation. Traditional Chinese medicine adopted the method of diagnosis and treatment based on different symptoms. Different drugs were used for treatment according to different types of symptoms. The common Chinese medicines were Yuehua Pills, Baihe Gujin Soup, Shenling Baizhu Powder, etc. These medicines had the effects of nourishing yin and nourishing the lung, clearing heat, killing insects, nourishing yin and reducing fire. In short, the treatment of consumption needed to choose the appropriate treatment method according to the patient's specific conditions and strictly follow the doctor's recommendations.
The duck prescription for treating lung cancer was a method to treat lung cancer, and it had special effects for lung cancer. According to the information provided, the duck prescription could treat lung cancer, but the effect on other extra-lung cancer was not obvious. However, the specific treatment method and drug ingredients were not provided. Therefore, he could not provide any more detailed information.
The main reasons for the difficulty in treating ancient phthisis were as follows: First, the lack of modern antibiotics in ancient times made it difficult to effectively suppress and kill the bacteria, making it difficult to cure phthisis. Secondly, the medical facilities in ancient times were not perfect, and they could not provide advanced diagnosis and treatment methods, which limited the treatment effect of consumption. In addition, the treatment methods of ancient Chinese medicine mainly used Chinese medicine to regulate the lungs and body functions. Although it could alleviate and improve the quality of life, it could not cure the disease. Ancient environmental conditions may also affect the effectiveness of the treatment of consumption, such as air pollution and poor hygiene. In general, there were many reasons why it was difficult to treat phthisis in ancient times, including the lack of modern medicine and technology, inadequate medical facilities, and environmental factors.
Chinese medicine treatment methods mainly included clearing the lungs, nourishing yin and nourishing the lungs, clearing heat and killing insects, reducing phlegm and cough, stopping bleeding, and regulating the body's immunity. Commonly used Chinese medicine included Yuehua Pill, Shenling Baizhu Powder, Butian Dazao Pill, Baihe Gujin Soup, Qinghao Biejia Powder, etc. The key to treating phthisis in traditional Chinese medicine was to differentiate the symptoms and treat it according to the patient's constitution and the different stages of the disease. At present, most of the clinical treatment was based on the combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Western medicine was used to suppress the bacteria, while Chinese medicine was used to reduce side effects, protect liver and kidney function, and improve related symptoms. However, the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in treating consumption was much worse than that of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. Therefore, Chinese medicine treatment of consumption still faced some difficulties and needed further research and development.
There were many types of lung diseases. The common ones included chronic obstruction lung disease, bronchiectasis, lung cancer, and so on. These diseases would cause different symptoms, such as chest tightness, wheezing, breathing difficulties, coughing, expectoration, hemoptysis, fear of cold, high fever, chest pain, and so on. For patients with respiratory diseases, relevant examinations were needed in time to confirm the diagnosis, and corresponding treatment was given according to the diagnosis.
The treatment criteria for lung cancer were based on symptoms, imaging, and phlegm tests for acid fast bacilliform bacteria. The symptoms included cough, expectoration, hot flashes, night sweats, etc. If the symptoms disappeared after standardized treatment, it meant that the patient was cured. The main purpose of imaging was to observe the image at the beginning and after the treatment. If there were any signs such as fibers, calcium, proliferations, nodes, and thickened pleura, it could also indicate that the lung was cured. Sputum examination of the acid fast bacili was an effective basis for the diagnosis of lung cancer. If the acid fast bacili in the phlegm turned negative after standardized treatment, and no acid fast bacili was found after multiple examinations, it could also indicate that the lung cancer was cured. Therefore, the criteria for the treatment of lung cancer included clinical symptoms, imaging, and examination of phlegm for acid fast bacilliform bacteria. The whole treatment process was 6-8 months, and the whole treatment process for drug-resistant lung cancer was 18-24 months. Most of the patients with lung cancer could be cured as long as they received standard anti-tumor treatment. However, if the treatment was not standardized, it would lead to treatment failure or even become drug-resistant malaria. The cure rate was low, the treatment cost was high, and the social harm was great. The course of treatment for relapsed lung cancer was significantly longer. Initial treatment usually took about half a year, while relapsed lung cancer took one year or even one and a half years. The adverse drug reactions would also increase, and the damage to the liver and kidney would also increase.
There were two main reasons for the onset of consumption. On the one hand, it was due to the infection of the worm, and on the other hand, it was due to the weakening of his Morality. The infection of the worm was the external cause of the onset of the disease, while the weakness of vital qi was the internal cause. The infection of the worms was an indispensable factor in the onset of the disease, and the weakness of the vital energy was the basis for the invasion of the worms and the onset of the disease. The parasite was highly contagious and could even cause the extermination of a clan. The ancient medical books mentioned that the two causes of diseases were the consumption of worms and the weakening of vital energy. They could be caused by each other. Modern medicine believed that phthisis was an infectious disease caused by the infection of the fungus. When the fungus enters the human body, it will cause chronic wasting inflammation, causing the patient to lose weight, cough, cough, or hemoptysis. In order to prevent the spread of consumption, it was necessary to control the source of infection and carry out corresponding treatment.
The symptoms of getting lung cancer included persistent coughing and expectoration. The coughing lasted for more than two weeks, and the phlegm might be bloodshot. The patient may have a low fever, sweating at night, fever in the afternoon, chest pain, fatigue, weight loss, and difficulty breathing. In addition, the patient may feel fatigue, loss of appetite, and even menstrual imbalance or amputation. If these symptoms appeared, it should be highly suspected that he was suffering from malaria and seek medical attention in time.
There were two main reasons for the onset of consumption. The first was the infection with the phthisis worm, which was also known as the fungus. This bacteria could invade the human lungs and cause chronic infectious diseases. The second was the weakness of vital energy, which meant that the human body's immunity was weak. Weakness of vital qi was the basis of the onset of phthisis, and also the main internal cause of the invasion and onset of phthisis. The infection of the worm was an indispensable external cause of the onset of the disease, and the deficiency of vital energy was the basis of the onset of the disease and the main internal cause of the invasion of the worm and the onset of the disease. In addition, the weakness of vital energy could also be caused by congenital deficiency, acquired excessive desire, and long-term illness. The causes of consumption were complicated and required comprehensive treatment and preventive measures.
The causes of lung lumps include smoking or dust, infection, autoimmunity, benign lung tumors, malignant lung tumors, and so on. Smoking or dust can cause an immune inflammation reaction, forming a granuloma. Nodules can also be caused by infections such as malaria, aspergillosa, and cryptococci. Immune diseases such as rheumatism, necrotizing, and sarcoidosis can also lead to the formation of noduli. Benign tumors of the lung, such as tumors, hamartomas, and cavernous tumors, may also cause these tumors. Lung cancer, such as lung adenomas or metastasizing malignant tumors, can also cause lung nodes to appear.
