Recently, I've constantly felt chest tightness and pain, and sometimes the phlegm I cough up contains streaks of blood. I visited a doctor who diagnosed it as "lung dryness." I would like to know what symptoms are associated with lung dryness.

Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Patients with dry lungs typically experience symptoms such as chest tightness and pain, and blood in the sputum. Dry lungs can also easily lead to dry skin. When suffering from dry lungs, patients may use medications or traditional Chinese medicine for treatment and regulation. Patients can regularly consume foods that moisten the lungs; however, if they still experience significant dryness, this is often due to excessive internal heat (lung fire) in the body.
