How to deal with severe heatiness (excessive internal heat)
Disease description:
I woke up today with a hoarse voice and unable to speak. It also hurts when I swallow food. I feel this case of "heatiness" is quite severe. I'd like to ask, what should I do if heatiness is very severe?

When symptoms of "heatiness" are severe, the following measures can be taken:
1. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, use medications with heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, such as Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets, Yin Qiao San, or Compound Honeysuckle Granules. These medicines help dispel wind-heat and alleviate symptoms of heatiness.
2. Dietary adjustment: Choose light, cooling foods such as snow pears, white radish, and crab. Avoid spicy, greasy, and heat-inducing foods like longan, red dates, beef, and lamb. Maintain adequate fluid intake to support the body's natural detoxification process.
3. Daily care: Maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid staying up late or overexertion. Engage in moderate physical activities such as walking or yoga to promote metabolism. Maintain a positive mindset and avoid excessive emotional excitement or stress.
By applying these measures, severe heatiness symptoms can be effectively relieved, aiding the body's recovery to a healthy state. Patients with concerns should seek medical advice promptly.
