When experiencing excessive internal heat in the gastrointestinal system, the following measures can be taken to alleviate symptoms:
1. Adjust diet: Avoid consuming spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as mung beans, bitter melon, and lily bulbs, which have properties to clear heat and reduce internal fire.
2. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of warm water, which helps relieve symptoms of dry mouth and throat and constipation caused by internal heat.
3. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, take medications such as Niuhuang Qingwei Pills or Huoxiang Qingwei Granules to clear heat, reduce fire, and improve gastrointestinal symptoms.
4. Improve lifestyle: Maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late and overexertion, and engage in appropriate physical activity to enhance immune function.
