Since the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is ongoing, one of central issues now is how to treat COVID-19 and related complications. Chinese medicine has been proved to fight against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) through multiple targets and pathways, regulate human immunity and improve symptoms in patients. This case is a 57-year-old female, diagnosed with COVID-19, suffered from repeated fever and increased bilateral pneumonia infiltration, and was transferred to our hospital due to her severe state. After admission, she was given JING SI HERBAL TEA LIQUID PACKETS which simultaneously contained chinese medicines of cold and heat nature, to dispel the cold-dampness pathogens. And we also prescribed the Zhen Wu Tang plus Wei Jing Tang, Zhen Wu Tang plus Gan Jie Tang, and Liu Jun Zi Tang plus Gan Jie Tang according to the patient’s syndrome and condition. These Chinese medicinal formulae can remove phlegm, discharge pus, relieve sore throat, disperse lung qi, and strengthen body resistance, further improve the patient’s pulmonary and cardiac system complications. After using combined therapy of Chinese and Western medicine, this patient was successfully removed from the endotracheal tube, weaned from the ventilator, and released from hospital quarantine. This article reports a clinical case of severe COVID-19 patient cured by integrative medicine and provides beneficial applications of Chinese medicine to treat COVID-19.
