Dr. Li Jingli
Treatment methods for pertussis include etiological treatment, symptomatic treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and vaccination. Among these, etiological treatment is key, involving the use of medications to inhibit the growth and reproduction of Bordetella pertussis, thereby alleviating the illness. Symptomatic treatment addresses specific symptoms with appropriate measures. TCM treatment utilizes herbal medicines to relieve symptoms. Vaccination is an effective preventive measure; by administering the pertussis vaccine, population immunity can be enhanced and the incidence of pertussis reduced.
