A patient came to the hospital to see me for treatment last month. The patient complained of dry mouth bitter mouth bad breath for several months. I went to other hospitals to check it and there was no problem. Western medicine didn’t work, so I came to see a Chinese doctor. Hearing what he said, I told him to stick out his tongue for me to see, and then I asked him to stretch out his hand to get his pulse,
finally I told him clearly: his tongue was crimson, dry and cracked, and he was diagnosed with yin deficiency and fire. , only the Chinese medicine that nourishes yin can be effective. I prescribed Ophiopogon japonicus, Shengdi , Trichosanthes, Dendrobium, Asparagus, Anemarrhena, Prunella vulgaris, and asked him to boil water and drink twice a day.
The patient came to follow-up the day before yesterday and said that his dry mouth and bad breath had improved, and asked me to prescribe a few more medicines for him.
