Patient's question:
Is Dr. Duan suffering from hepatitis B, which might indicate excessive dampness in the body? I often experience constipation, and my nose is always yellow and dry every day. Currently, I am drinking white wormwood tea every day. Is this beneficial? Hello, Dr. Duan, is there any method you can recommend to first remove the damp-heat from the body?Doctor's answer:
According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, a small portion of hepatitis B patients have damp-heat. It can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine methods such as clearing heat, detoxifying, promoting diuresis, activating blood circulation, and removing blood stasis, which may yield some therapeutic effects. However, these herbal medicines should not be overused, as prolonged use can weaken the immune system. For patients, if the hepatitis B condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of hepatitis B. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a good mood. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can assist everyone.
