Patients with excessive liver fire can usually take coptis alkaloid tablets. Individuals with excessive liver fire commonly experience symptoms such as dry mouth and oral ulcers. Coptis alkaloid tablets are a type of medicine that clears heat and detoxifies the body, helping to regulate internal heat. Additionally, drinking more water can promote bodily detoxification and help alleviate symptoms. In terms of diet, it is important to avoid spicy, irritating foods and seafood.
