Patient's question:
Drink a lot of water, but when going to bed, feel dry mouth, bad breath, and dry tongue. When washing face, bleeding gums. Urine is yellow. Previously, the hospital conducted a thorough examination and found hemorrhoids, not severe, occasional blood in urine. After taking medicine, there hasn't been any blood in urine for over a month. Stool is darker. During this period, only light food has been consumed. What traditional Chinese medicine can be effective for treatment? What should be done?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 nourish fluids. For those with yang deficiency and insufficient body fluids, treatment should focus on nourishing yin and generating fluids, using formulas such as Liuwei Dihuang Wan, Zengye Tang, and Wuzhi Yin. For those with qi deficiency and yang weakness, treatment should focus on boosting qi and warming yang, using formulas such as Qiwei Baizhu San, Xiao Jianzhong Tang, and Jingui Shenqi Wan. It is also important to carefully check for diabetes. Additionally, be mindful that snoring during naps, rapid breathing due to lung diseases, or mouth breathing caused by rhinitis may also contribute to the condition.Halitosis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' recommendations for appropriate treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
