Dr. Gan Liqiang
Female “fish-mouth” syndrome is a condition caused by heat-toxin affecting the Spleen meridian, characterized by ulceration on the lips, excessive salivation, and a mouth appearance resembling that of a fish. Treatment requires oral administration of heat-clearing and detoxifying medications—such as Shuanglian Jiedu Tang—under a physician’s guidance. During treatment, patients should avoid spicy and stimulating foods (e.g., chili peppers, garlic) and maintain adequate fluid intake.
