Patient's question:
There are many small red spots on the tongue, and it is thicker than usual. At the Ninth People's Hospital, it was diagnosed as a lymphatic-vascular malformation. Last July, laser treatment was performed on that area, but now red spots have still grown there. There is a lot of drool when sleeping, and the drool is water red.Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is due to damp-heat in the body. If symptoms, pulse, and other diagnostic methods are combined for a comprehensive assessment, the syndrome differentiation can be clearly identified. Once the syndrome is accurately diagnosed, TCM can achieve significant therapeutic effects. You can consult a local TCM practitioner for an evaluation. Based on an accurate syndrome differentiation, treatment using TCM methods will yield clear results with a lower likelihood of recurrence.
