Is it ok to take Chinese medicine and get anti-inflammatory injections?

In modern life, when we encounter diseases, we often look for corresponding treatment methods from traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. Generally speaking, Western medicine has a wider range of applications, but the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be ignored, because the Chinese medicine provided by traditional Chinese medicine has mild medicinal properties, small side effects, and has a certain protective effect on the body. There are also many people who use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to treat diseases, but attention should be paid to the compatibility of these two treatment systems, otherwise it will cause adverse harm to the body. For example, is it okay to take Chinese medicine and get anti-inflammatory injections? Let’s take a look at the relevant explanations below.

1. Generally, there is no effect. For some diseases, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine may have better effects. Check the instructions for the anti-inflammatory injection to see if there are any contraindications. In this case, you should pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, overwork and getting irritated, keep the area clean, take warm baths frequently, and change your underwear frequently. Pay attention to increasing exercise appropriately to promote metabolism and improve body immunity.

2. It is best not to take other medicines while taking Chinese medicine. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. If you take tonic Chinese medicine, the efficacy of the medicine will be reduced. It is best to wait until you finish drinking the Chinese medicine before taking the anti-inflammatory medicine, or you can take the anti-inflammatory medicine first and then take the Chinese medicine. Just avoid taking them at the same time. Pay attention to rest at ordinary times, pay attention to dietary taboos when taking Chinese medicine, and eat less raw, cold, spicy, greasy and fishy foods.

3. Chinese medicine and Western medicine can normally be taken together, but in order to avoid affecting their medicinal properties, it is best to take them separately, one after a meal and the other before a meal, and the time of taking can be about one hour apart. Most Chinese medicines will choose Chinese herbal medicines, which have little effect on the human body and almost no contraindications. Some anti-inflammatory drugs are taken to prevent the interaction between the two drugs. It can mainly play a role in soothing the liver and activating blood circulation, regulating endocrine and other functions. The medicines needed are mainly anti-inflammatory drugs, but do not take them for a long time, as they will cause drug resistance.
