Patient's question:
Yesterday I drank lemon water all day and felt extremely thirsty with a sore throat. Is it because I didn't drink enough water? I mixed two slices of lemon with maybe 100ml of water. After searching on Baidu, I found that almost no one has this problem.Doctor's answer:
Dry mouth is often caused by yin deficiency and insufficient body fluids, or qi deficiency and yang weakness, leading to the inability to retain fluids. For those with yang deficiency and insufficient fluids, treatment should focus on nourishing yin and generating fluids, using formulas such as Liuwei Dihuang Wan, Zengye Tang, and Wuzhi Yin.Medical advice: For qi deficiency and yang weakness, treatment should focus on tonifying qi and warming yang, using formulas such as Qiwei Baihuo San, Xiao Jianzhong Tang, and Jingui Shenqi Wan. Additionally, it is important to check for diabetes. Also, snoring during sleep, rapid breathing due to lung diseases, or mouth breathing caused by rhinitis may also contribute to this condition.
