One should not attempt totreat this disease with Chinese medicine alone. Two or moreWestern drugs are typically administered at a time to avoidbacterial resistance. Unfortunately, these drugs are hard onthe liver and, therefore, lab test monitoring of liver functionsmust be carried out on a regular basis during the course oftreatment. When Chinese medicine is used in tandem withWestern drug therapy, Chinese medicinals and/or acupuncturecan be used to help relieve any adverse reactions.
