3. Bu Pi Yi Chang Wan (Spleen-Strengthening and Intestine-Benefiting Pills)

Bu Pi Yi Chang Wan is typically composed of herbs such as Astragalus (Huang Qi), Cinnamon bark (Rou Gui), and Magnolia bark (Mu Xiang). It has the effect of warming the middle burner and strengthening the spleen, enhancing gastrointestinal function, stopping diarrhea, and relieving pain. It helps alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms caused by spleen deficiency, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, and intestinal rumbling.

It strengthens the spleen and boosts qi, harmonizes the stomach, and stops diarrhea. This formula comprehensively regulates spleen and stomach functions and enhances digestive and absorptive capacity. It is commonly used to treat symptoms caused by spleen and stomach weakness, such as indigestion, epigastric fullness and discomfort, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and loose stools.

5. Shen Ling Bai Zhu San

Shen Ling Bai Zhu San mainly consists of ingredients such as Ginseng, Poria (Fu Ling), Chinese yam (Shan Yao), lotus seeds (Lian Zi), and Licorice (Gan Cao). It tonifies the spleen and stomach, benefits lung qi, and enhances overall bodily function.

Can breastfeeding mothers eat roast duck after getting vaccinated?
If the mother has no discomfort such as fever, fatigue, or nausea after vaccination, and the roast duck is fresh, thoroughly cooked, and meets hygiene standards, consuming a small amount generally will not interact with vaccine components nor affect the immune response induced by the vaccine. Moreover, roast duck can provide nutrients such as protein, and as long as intake is not excessive, it usually will not have adverse effects on breastfeeding.

Can I consume water infused with Dendrobium and Salvia after getting vaccinated?
Dendrobium and Salvia are common medicinal food substances. Their extracts from soaking in water mainly contain plant-derived active compounds, and currently there is no evidence indicating interactions between these compounds and vaccine components. If there are no post-vaccination symptoms such as fever, fatigue, or rash, and if the individual has previously consumed Dendrobium-Salvia infusion without experiencing allergies or gastrointestinal discomfort, moderate consumption is acceptable and can exert its normal regulatory effects without the need for deliberate avoidance.

After being scratched by a small hamster and receiving an injection, can I take fever-reducing medicine if I develop a fever?
If the fever exceeds 38.5°C, or is accompanied by significant discomfort such as headache, muscle aches, and fatigue, taking antipyretic medications (such as acetaminophen tablets or ibuprofen suspension) can help relieve symptoms and prevent potential adverse effects of high fever on the body. Antipyretics do not interact with vaccines administered after scratches or wounds, nor do they interfere with the vaccine's ability to induce an immune response; therefore, there is no need to worry about drug interactions.

What is interferon used for in anaerobic bacteria?
Interferon does not directly exert bactericidal effects against anaerobic bacteria. It is primarily used as an adjunctive therapy for conditions associated with anaerobic infections, with the main goal of enhancing the body's own anti-infective capacity and supporting overall treatment efficacy. It should be clearly understood that interferon serves only as an auxiliary treatment method and absolutely cannot replace the central role of antibiotics. Its use must strictly follow established medication guidelines.

What does elevated C-reactive protein after chemotherapy mean?
Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) after chemotherapy is mainly associated with infection, tissue damage, inflammatory response, tumor progression, and drug side effects. If CRP levels continue to rise or are accompanied by symptoms such as fever and fatigue, prompt medical evaluation is necessary. Chemotherapy suppresses immune system function, making patients more susceptible to bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, which triggers the body's defense mechanisms.

Is a single adenovirus vaccine shot administered nine months ago still effective?
Nine months ago, received one dose of adenovirus vaccine. After adenovirus vaccination, the body produces specific antibodies, which in most cases can persist for a relatively long time. Since nine months has not exceeded the typical protection period, the vaccine can still provide certain protective effects against the adenovirus types covered by the vaccine, reducing both the risk of infection and the severity of symptoms if infected.

Can I take oxytetracycline 10 days after receiving the vaccine?
Can you take oxytetracycline 10 days after vaccination? This should be determined based on your physical condition and medical needs.

However, if vaccine-related reactions persist or there is no valid reason for using the medication, taking it blindly is not recommended. When taking oxytetracycline, strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage and avoid adjusting the dose without guidance. Maintain a light diet, and avoid alcohol and spicy or irritating foods during treatment.

Can I go hiking after getting vaccinated?
Whether you can go hiking after vaccination depends on your physical condition. If you feel well and have sufficient energy after receiving the vaccine, moderate hiking is acceptable.

After vaccination, pay close attention to any changes in your body and avoid strenuous exercise in the short term.
