National Health Commission： At present, the epidemic acute respiratory diseases are all caused by known pathogens.

　　At the press conference held in National Health Commission in early December, Mi Feng, a spokesperson for National Health Commission, said that according to the monitoring, all the current acute respiratory diseases are caused by known pathogens, and all of them have corresponding mature treatment methods, and no new infectious diseases caused by new viruses and bacteria have been found.

　　At the press conference, the role of traditional Chinese medicine and the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine were emphasized. The reporter was informed that the recent sales of influenza prevention and treatment drugs, including Chinese patent medicines, continued to increase.

　　National Health Commission: We should give full play to the role of traditional Chinese medicine and combine traditional Chinese and western medicine.

　　Mi Feng said that it is necessary to further increase the supply of medical services, promote the opening of pediatric clinics in Chinese medicine hospitals, maternal and child health hospitals and other medical institutions at all levels, and separate noon, night and weekend clinics according to the number of patients, extend service hours, expand inpatient beds, and continuously optimize the treatment and treatment procedures such as registration, inspection and payment, so as to facilitate the people to seek medical treatment. It is necessary to do a good job in graded diagnosis and treatment, unblock referral channels, adjust personnel across disciplines and hospitals, ensure the supply of medical materials, promote Internet medical care, and maximize the ability to receive medical treatment. It is very effective to prevent the spread of respiratory diseases to give full play to the role of traditional Chinese medicine, ensure the supply and vaccination services of influenza and other vaccines, vaccinate key groups such as the elderly and children as soon as possible, reduce the risk of illness, and insist on wearing masks, washing hands frequently and ventilation frequently. It is necessary to do personal protection, do not go to work or go to school with illness, and adhere to good personal hygiene habits and healthy lifestyles.

　　The reporter noted that the conference emphasized that it is necessary to give full play to the role of traditional Chinese medicine, integrate traditional Chinese and western medicine, popularize the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine in preventing and treating common respiratory diseases in winter, and improve the prevention and treatment effect. At the same time, in order to ensure the people’s demand for medical treatment, relieve the pressure of pediatric consultation during the high-incidence period of influenza, and give full play to the characteristics and functions of traditional Chinese medicine scientifically, effectively, safely and steadily, the Beijing Municipal Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine organized an expert group on traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and treat influenza, and formulated the "Beijing Winter Influenza Prevention and Treatment Plan of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2023 (Trial)".

　　In this regard, a Chinese medicine expert in Guangzhou told reporters that taking children in special groups as an example, children’s physical functions are not fully developed, their immune functions are poor, their resistance is weak, and they are vulnerable to influenza virus attack and infection. At the same time, children are more sensitive to drugs, and cold drugs are harmful to vital energy, which is prone to adverse reactions to varying degrees. Therefore, when treating influenza, it is especially necessary to pay attention to choosing mild and less irritating drugs for children to protect human health.

　　The sales of Chinese patent medicines increased rapidly, and the search for drugs related to upper respiratory diseases increased.

　　Recently, many citizens have increased their awareness of self-protection and are actively purchasing all kinds of cold medicines for emergencies. "At present, the supply of anti-inflammatory drugs and various drugs in stores is sufficient, and citizens can buy them as needed. There is no need to take drugs. Because some anti-inflammatory drugs are OTC, it is recommended to use them under the advice of doctors or pharmacists, and prescription drugs need to be purchased by prescription. It is worth noting that recently, a variety of respiratory infectious diseases have been high, and different treatments for pathogens are different. The public needs to go to the hospital for diagnosis to prescribe the right medicine. " Yang Weimei, manager of Longjin East Road, Dashenlin, suggested that residents should seek medical treatment in time if they have symptoms such as persistent cough, shortness of breath and dyspnea, instead of buying medicine and taking medicine themselves.

There are not a few Chinese patent medicine pediatric products on the shelves of pharmacies.

　　Some chain pharmacy staff told reporters that the sales of cold medicines have increased significantly recently, and Bupleurum chinense in Baiyun Mountain was once out of stock. According to the data of some online pharmacies, the sales of this kind of Chinese patent medicine have increased very rapidly. In a chain pharmacy in Guangzhou, children’s Baiyun Mountain Banlangen granules were placed in a conspicuous position on the shelves. "Recently, many products on the market, including children’s Banlangen granules, have seen a significant increase in sales." Baiyun Mountain and Huangzhong Medicine revealed that there are not a few children suffering from influenza recently, so on the one hand, it is to adjust production capacity to ensure market supply, on the other hand, it is to include the donation of protective products such as Baiyun Mountain Banlangen granules for children in the public welfare plan for preventing influenza in winter.

　　In addition, the statistics of Dingdang Kuai Medicine show that the search volume of drugs related to upper respiratory diseases in some areas in recent 30 days is more than ten times than before, among which the drugs for treating mycoplasma pneumoniae and the drugs for treating influenza have the fastest growth, and the drugs for relieving colds and fever, such as ibuprofen and Ganmao Qingre Granules, drugs for clearing away heat and toxic materials, such as Budilan Xiaoyan Tablets, and drugs for relieving cough and resolving phlegm, such as ambroxol hydrochloride and fresh bamboo juice, have also increased significantly.

　　Some experts said that in the face of prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases in winter, on the one hand, the public can prepare some antipyretic and analgesic drugs for symptoms such as fever; On the other hand, under the guidance of doctors, some broad-spectrum antiviral drugs can be properly prepared to meet the needs of the whole family, old and young.
