In this paper, we review the research progress on TCM in the treatment of infection. The mechanism of action of TCM is reviewed and research and applications of TCM in the treatment of are demonstrated. Finally, we discuss problems confronting the use of TCM for the treatment of infection and propose possible solutions. In addition, the plans of TCM in treatment were also screened: Dampness-heat syndrome in the spleen and stomach, deficiency of spleen and stomach, and cold-heat complicated syndrome, and the effective components therein are studied. The antibacterial effect of TCM is relatively slow; for rapid improvement of the treatment effect of refractory gastritis, we provide an appropriate treatment regime combining TCM and Western medicine with immune-regulatory and synergistic antibacterial effects.
