People often ask me: I have a sore throat and I’m on fire, what is the best medicine to take? I have to repeatedly explain: a sore throat is not always a fire! Tianjin First Central Hospital, Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Weidong This is not the case, the old sister has a sore throat, she ate some watermelon throat tablets, but her throat does not hurt, but she can not breathe at night. I went over to take a look, the tip of the tongue is not red, it is not fire, it is cold. Take a few tablets of Tong Xuan Li Lung tablets and drink! The good guys, a strong sneeze, the cold are dispersed out, the gas also breathed. The sore throat is not a fire! The tip of the tongue is red and the tongue is yellow, it is fire or heat; a cold may also be a sore throat, the tip of the tongue is not red.
