Patient's question:
Acne on the face, bad breath, yellow urine, took many heat-clearing drugs with no effect, eyes difficult to open in the morning without eye discharge, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
This may be caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach. First, appropriate diet is recommended, including drinking more water, consuming more vegetables and fruits, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Digestive supplements of vitamin C and B, along with the use of antibiotics to suppress infection, should be considered. Additionally, Chinese herbal medicines such as coix seed (), poria (), baical root (), cinnabar (), Forsythia (), dandelion (), and plantain () can be used in combination. For patients with halitosis, while seeking proper medical treatment, dietary therapy can be used as supplementary treatment. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or overeating in daily diet and never indulge in binge eating.
