Patient's question:
The base of the tongue is thick and white, sometimes with bad breath. It feels slightly yellowish. There is a slight tooth mark on the edge of the tongue tip. Occasionally, I experience dry heaves (excluding pregnancy). Eating a bit more makes my stomach slightly uncomfortable, but drinking some water makes it better after a while. About half a month ago, I had stomach pain after not eating for too long, but it went away after eating. At that time, I took eight doses of traditional Chinese medicine to regulate my stomach and dispel dampness. I feel the same whether I take the medicine or not. Also, in the past one and a half months, I’ve been losing a lot of hair, which I noticed while washing my hair. What illness could this be? Is it a problem with the spleen, stomach, or kidneys?Doctor's answer:
Considering you are experiencing a series of symptoms due to spleen deficiency and dampness excess. Based on your description, it is recommended that you pay attention to rest and avoid cold exposure, consume light and warm foods, and complement the treatment with oral Shenling Bai Zhu Powder. Additionally, for patients with halitosis during the treatment period, their dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
