Comparative analysis between the Long Covid symptoms and the diagnosis of traditional medicine

Abstract

Background: Some people who have been recovered from COVID-19 but are still experiencing some symptoms, known as post-Covid condition. It is important to identify the causes of symptoms in post Covid. The greatest evidence-based opportunity to diagnose and treat post-COVID condition is traditional medicine, which has been around for centuries, and it is important to discover and use the huge resources of traditional medicine in addition to its innovative content. Aim: To compare the Long Covid symptoms with the diagnosis of traditional medicine for the possibility of treating Materials and Methods: Source materials were collected from WHO information, Scopus listed journals as well as commentaries of the “four medical tantras” and its major explanation sources. All collected data were analyzed by comparing and contrasting sourced method, verification method, and summarizing method Results: According to the results of a study on the post-COVID condition, many symptoms were experienced but new study from the University of Oxford and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) investigated long-COVID in over 270,000 people recovering from COVID-19 infection, using data from the US-based TriNetX electronic health record network. It is can be followed that the study reported common long-COVID symptoms, occurring 90-180 days after COVID-19 was diagnosed, comprise: 1. Abnormal breathing–8%, 2. Abdominal symptoms–8%, 3. Anxiety/depression–15%, 4. Chest/throat pain–6%, 5.Cognitive problems (‘brain fog’)– 4%, 6. Fatigue–6%, 7. Headache–5%, 8. Myalgia (muscle pain)–1.5%. It is possible can be followed. “Method of comparison by text studies and source study”, clarifying their diversified features of “Method of Inquiry lists” and “Method of integrated conclusion” for brief comparative study. These symptoms, which occur most frequently post Covid condition, are consistent with the latent fever, chronic fever, turbid fever. In addition, as for the above-mentioned traditional diseases, it is may proof that chronic diseases caused by unripened fever, which is treated with a mild form of acute Covid-19. The principles of treatment of traditional diseases, which are considered in conjunction with long Covid symptoms, are clear, the treatment is unique as well as there is a wide choice of prescriptions and treatments. Furthermore, many other symptoms of long Covid symptoms can be treated in combination. Conclusion: These symptoms, which occur most frequently post Covid condition, may can be explained by the qualities of wind and phlegm, as well as in connection with the loss of root wind and phlegm functions.
