Patient's question:
Previously, sometimes in the morning when going to bed, there would be peeling in the mouth. Now, it happens both during the day and at night. It's very dry, and there's also bad breath. I had an allergic reaction to some IV drip at the hospital. Not long ago, I'm not sure, but it would cause some kind of lower back pain?Doctor's answer:
Hello, dry mouth and bad breath are related to your stomach heat rising. Peeling is due to blood heat. You can take some Baihu Tang appropriately, mainly to clear stomach heat and nourish yin. Additionally, you can drink a decoction of equal amounts of white mulberry root, reed root, and white peony root as a substitute for tea to nourish blood, clear heat, and promote diuresis. Avoid spicy foods. It's not scary to have bad breath; patients should believe they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of relieving the condition and recovering are very high.
