摘要

本例為一位氣喘患者，患病史已三十年，長年需使用支氣管擴張劑，並搭配拍痰及蒸氣治療。患者曾因肺炎感染導致肺部塌陷住院，出院後仍有喘鳴、呼吸急促、胸悶、咳嗽、痰液多而黏稠等症狀。中醫認為患者因痰多導致呼吸困難，痰為肺系發炎的產物，改善發炎情況以宣肺瀉熱、化痰定喘為主。經過四個月治療後，患者肺功能有明顯改善，對支氣管擴張劑的需求也相應減低。

A 61-year-old woman with a history of asthma had suffered from wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, cough, and sticky sputum for over 30 years. She needed to use bronchodilators, chest percussion, and steam inhalation for the purpose of relieving these symptoms. Based on the concept of Traditional Chinese medicine, patients have difficulty breathing due to excessive sputum, which is the product of lung inflammation. Therefore, the main method of improving inflammation is to remove heat from the lungs. After four months of treatment, the patient's lung function has been significantly improved, and the demand for bronchodilators has also been reduced.
