How to treat coronavirus infectious diseases
Recently, the treatment options for coronavirus infectious diseases (such as COVID-19 and its variants) have once again become a focus of global attention. With the deepening of medical research and the accumulation of clinical experience, treatment methods are constantly optimized. The following is a compilation of hot topics and hot content across the Internet in the past 10 days, combined with structured data to present you the latest treatment progress.
1. Current mainstream treatment methods
According to the latest guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) and national centers for disease control and prevention, the treatment of coronavirus infectious diseases mainly includes the following methods:
| Treatment | Applicable stage | Effect evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| Antiviral drugs (such as Paxlovid) | Mild to moderate early symptoms | Can reduce the risk of severe illness by 89% |
| monoclonal antibodies | high risk groups | Weakened effect on some variants |
| Glucocorticoids (such as dexamethasone) | Severely ill patients | Reduce mortality by 20-30% |
| Oxygen therapy and respiratory support | Severely ill patients | Improve blood oxygen saturation |
2. Latest research progress
1.Oral drug research: A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that the new oral antiviral drug MK-4482 can reduce viral load by 50% in clinical trials.
2.Vaccine booster effect: Data from many countries show that the protection against Omicron variants after booster vaccination can reach 70-75%, significantly reducing the severe disease rate.
| Vaccine type | Neutralizing antibody levels to Omicron | severe protection rate |
|---|---|---|
| mRNA vaccine (2 doses) | lower | about 50% |
| mRNA vaccine (3 doses) | higher | 75-80% |
| Inactivated vaccine (3 doses) | medium | 60-70% |
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment Plan
In the latest diagnosis and treatment plan released by China’s National Health Commission, traditional Chinese medicine treatment still occupies an important position:
| Certificate type | Recommended prescriptions | Main functions |
|---|---|---|
| Damp poison stagnates the lungs | Qingfei Detoxification Decoction | Xuanfei, clearing away evil spirits, clearing away heat and reducing dampness |
| Cold and dampness blocking lungs | Huoxiang Zhengqi powder addition and subtraction | Dispel cold, remove dampness, clear lungs and eliminate evil |
| Epidemic virus and dryness | Yinqiao San and Baihu Decoction | Clear away heat, detoxify, relieve lung and moisturize dryness |
4. Prevention and rehabilitation suggestions
1.Precautions: In addition to vaccination, wearing a mask correctly can still reduce the risk of infection by more than 70%. Washing hands frequently and maintaining social distance are equally important.
2.Rehabilitation management: About 30% of recovered patients will develop sequelae. Common symptoms and countermeasures:
| sequelae symptoms | duration | Improvement method |
|---|---|---|
| fatigue | 2-6 months | progressive exercise rehabilitation |
| difficulty breathing | 1-3 months | Breathing training |
| cognitive impairment | 1-12 months | cognitive training |
5. Expert opinions
Academician Zhong Nanshan recently said: "Although the virulence of Omicron has weakened, its transmissibility has increased and it still poses a threat to the elderly and patients with underlying diseases. Early antiviral treatment and vaccination are still the key to prevention and control."
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasized: "The world should ensure equitable access to antiviral drugs and at the same time strengthen the monitoring of mutant strains."
Conclusion
The treatment of coronavirus infectious diseases has formed a comprehensive multi-disciplinary and multi-method system. As research deepens, more effective treatment options will continue to emerge. The public should maintain scientific awareness, follow professional medical advice, and jointly respond to the challenges of the epidemic.
