Patient's question:
Hello, I have prostatitis due to kidney deficiency or mental anxiety. When I'm alone and thinking, the sides of my tongue become extremely itchy, and I keep grinding my teeth. Recently, the grinding has started to hurt. Since a Saturday during the summer vacation, when I bought a meat floss bread while training, the symptoms began then. Later, I bought it again, but the symptoms didn't worsen. During moments of intense tension while thinking, the itching becomes unbearable.Doctor's answer:
After reading the description, it is mentioned that the pain on the sides of the tongue may be due to a lack of vitamins, especially vitamin C. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, it is possible to have an excess of liver fire, and other symptoms may fall within the category of neurosis. Additionally, pay attention to your diet. Drink chrysanthemum tea daily, and consume more vegetables and fruits that help reduce liver fire (such as grapefruits, pears, lilies, bitter gourds, lotus roots, and cabbage). Green bean soup or green bean porridge is also very effective for cooling and calming the mind. I hope the above suggestions are helpful to you! Avoid smoking and alcohol. I wish patients with prostatitis can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
