Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. Could you please tell me what's wrong with my hands and arms being swollen all day?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your current situation, prevention of infection is sufficient. You can apply some gentian violet or tincture of iodine. The diet should be light and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Drink plenty of water and get more sun exposure.Your condition may be due to qi deficiency and spontaneous sweating, with weak exterior defense and continuous leakage of sweat. You can use high doses of Astragalus root decoction to invigorate qi, strengthen the exterior, and stop sweating. Adding Job's tears can also enhance the effect of stopping sweat.
