Symptoms of yin deficiency with lung dryness include dry mouth and thirst, little tongue coating, red and dry tongue with scanty body fluid, dry cough without phlegm or with minimal sticky sputum, dry stools, decreased urine output, tidal fever throughout the body, insomnia with frequent dreams, dry skin, and weight loss. Treatment may involve using drugs that nourish yin and moisten dryness, or prescriptions such as Qingfei Jiuzao Tang (Clear Lung and Rescue Dryness Decoction) to alleviate symptoms of yin deficiency with lung dryness. Additionally, a light and balanced diet is recommended.
