What are the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in treating lung cancer? Three home care measures for lung cancer

The current serious air pollution also increases the incidence of lung cancer. Lung cancer treatment mainly includes two categories: Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, but traditional Chinese medicine only plays an auxiliary role in lung cancer. Experts emphasize that lung cancer patients also need home care, such as carefully observing the changes in the patient's condition, providing appropriate care, and properly treating the symptoms.

Due to factors such as air pollution and smoking, the incidence of lung cancer has been rising. Currently, many hospitals have launched projects to treat lung cancer with traditional Chinese medicine, but it should be pointed out that traditional Chinese medicine can only play an auxiliary role in the treatment of lung cancer for the time being. In order for lung cancer patients to recover, they also need to do a good job of home care.

The advantage of TCM in treating lung cancer is that it can regulate the body, but the disadvantage is that it takes a long time to take effect. Experts emphasize that the recovery of lung cancer patients is closely related to Western medicine, TCM, and family care. Now I will introduce some key points of family care for you, and I hope you can follow and implement them.

1. Carefully observe the patient's condition

Family members should carefully observe whether the patient has symptoms such as coughing, sputum, hemoptysis, or chest pain, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and fever. If any abnormalities are found, they need to contact a doctor in time and undergo timely examination and treatment.

In addition, attention should be paid to whether any side effects occur when the patient takes the medicine. Family members can also make some simple records to provide reference for treatment.

2. Take proper care

Lung cancer patients are advised to avoid going to public places and ventilate the room regularly to avoid upper respiratory tract infection. In addition, their diet should be closely monitored and they should eat more high-calorie, high-protein, high-fiber and easily digestible food. They must avoid smoking and drinking.

3. Take proper care of the symptoms

Family members should also treat the symptoms. If breathing difficulties occur, oxygen should be given in time. If pain occurs, medication should be given to relieve pain. At the same time, the patient should be comforted and stabilized in a timely manner. If suffocation occurs, emergency measures should be taken in time, or the patient should be sent to the hospital.

In short, the principle of home care is to relieve the pain of lung cancer patients and improve their quality of life. Everyone should remember that the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine on lung cancer is limited, but it cannot be completely denied. The specific treatment plan needs to be determined according to the patient's condition. If lung cancer patients want to recover, scientific home care is essential.
