Bronchiectasis is a common and intractable chronic airway disease,and there are many difficulties in treatment,such as mucociliary clearance dysfunction,impaired lung function,and bacterial colonization.In response to the above problems,it is necessary to actively carry out the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and western medicine,deeply explore the characteristics and advantages of TCM,and form a whole-process management plan for bronchiectasis with integrated TCM and western medicine.There will be breakthroughs in the following aspects.First of all,phlegm-resolving methods of TCM,such as clearing the lung to resolve phlegm,moistening the lung to resolve phlegm,and softening the hardness to resolve phlegm,are deeply explored to improve the hypersecretion of mucus in the respiratory tract.Secondly,for the problem of decreased lung function in patients,it may be an important method to improve lung function by purifying the lung and relieving dyspnea based on eliminating phlegm and unblocking the airway.In addition,the methods of invigorating the spleen and clearing the lung should be adopted to improve the patient's immune function,reduce the number of acute attacks,and inhibit disease progression.For patients with respiratory failure,the methods of strengthening the spleen,invigorating the kidney,clearing the lung,and resolving phlegm are used to improve the quality of life and prognosis of patients.
