Breathing very hot is considered to be related to phlegm-heat internalization, wind-heat offending the lungs, and yin deficiency and lung dryness (the body’s yin deficiency, resulting in lung dryness not being nourished), and so on. It can also be seen in patients with fever.
1. Phlegm-heat internalization: When the spleen and stomach do not transport and transform, phlegm and turbidity will be generated internally, and then addicted to spicy and stimulating food or long illness, phlegm and heat, etc. will lead to phlegm-heat internalization, which will affect the normal respiratory function of the lungs, resulting in very hot breath.
2. Wind-heat offending the lungs: when wind-heat and evil qi invade the lungs, it will make the lungs not be able to carry out the normal purging and declaring, which will result in coughing, shortness of breath and sore throat. The presence of heat in wind-heat and evil qi can also lead to very hot breathing.
3. Yin deficiency and lung dryness: when lung yin is insufficient, it will also affect the normal function of the lungs. The symptoms of shortness of breath and the deficiency of yin will lead to internal dryness, which will also cause hot breath.
It is recommended that patients with very hot breath go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to treat the symptoms.
