Zhong Nanshan said Lianhua Qingwen capsule was effective in treating novel coronavirus pneumonia. He said that an experimental result will be published in the near future to confirm that Lianhua Qingwen is effective and can help patients recover.
On May 4, the Ministry of foreign affairs and the health and Health Commission of China invited Zhong Nanshan, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, to connect with the video of overseas students to answer the question of "epidemic".
Zhong Nanshan said Lianhua Qingwen capsule was effective in treating novel coronavirus pneumonia. He said that an experimental result will be published in the near future to confirm that Lianhua Qingwen is effective and can help patients recover.
He introduced that the patients taking Lianhua Qingwen capsule improved their symptoms faster. From the CT images, they recovered faster than the control group. In addition, there was a significant difference in the temperature drop and the fever time was shortened.
Does novel coronavirus pneumonia have sequela? What is the effect on the lungs?
In the live broadcast, some foreign students asked: if you are out and unfortunately infected, is there any sequela? What is the effect on the lungs? Novel coronavirus pneumonia is not too harmful to lung, and sequela is not obvious.
Zhong Nanshan introduces, if go out unfortunately be infected, should notice: young people general antibody is stronger, if do not have many disease (such as heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, etc.), general recovery is faster, drink more water to take some medicine will recover.
He added that he had seen many patients, including the lungs, who were recovering well in general. Novel coronavirus pneumonia is better than SARS unless the critically ill patients will affect the hematopoietic system, affect bleeding, and affect the liver, kidney and lungs. After the restoration of novel coronavirus pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis is not too heavy, and it looks reversible.
More than 100 patients have been given lung function tests, which have not yet recovered to normal level, but the damage should not be too large, it will slowly recover, and the sequelae is not large. "Four mornings" is the key to avoid the vast majority of infections
Zhong Nanshan said that for China, the biggest feature is "four early", that is, early protection, early detection, early diagnosis and early isolation.
He said that the awareness of "early protection" is actually self-protection, the most important thing is self-protection, including keeping distance, wearing masks, etc.; early detection, going to see a doctor if you feel uncomfortable; early diagnosis; early isolation, which is actually the biggest difference between China and other countries. As soon as we reach the community, we call community joint prevention and control, the most important thing is to urge from all aspects , remind each other of help. We know that this disease is mainly infected by droplets and contact. As long as we avoid this disease, we can avoid the vast majority of infections.
