Patient's question:
1] I often wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning and it's almost every day like this. Every time I wake up, I feel bitter in my mouth, and after washing my face, I find that my saliva is cloudy.2] I often feel discomfort in my stomach, as if something isn't digesting properly.
Doctor's answer:
Bitter taste in the mouth, cloudy saliva, and damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder, as well as liver-fire invading the stomach, can be regulated by clearing liver and gallbladder damp-heat and soothing the stomach. It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the internal medicine department of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. They can prescribe herbal medicine tailored to your overall symptoms and tongue and pulse conditions for targeted treatment.In daily life, pay attention to reducing the intake of spicy, greasy, and extremely cold foods. Avoid foods that may trigger reactions, such as seafood, coriander, scallions, garlic, lamb, and dog meat. Maintain a regular and balanced diet with three meals a day at fixed times and quantities.
