Sore throat belongs to real fire, the real of deficiency, and is mostly seen in coughing after a cold, caused by eating a spicy and stimulating diet. If a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis is thin, has a long disease duration, has poor nutritional status, and has a sore throat, especially at night, Chinese medicine considers it to be a deficiency fire, which is caused by the deficiency of lung and kidney yin, the delusional movement of phase fire, and the upward rush to the throat. To treat sore throat, it is necessary to distinguish between real fire and deficiency fire. For real fire, the main treatment is to clear heat and detoxify the lungs, clear heat and resolve phlegm, while for deficiency fire, it is necessary to nourish yin and moisten the lungs, nourish water and lower fire, such as Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan. Therefore, in addition to the age and duration of the disease, it is also necessary to carefully identify common infectious lesions in the lungs and tuberculosis lesions. Common infections are mostly real fires, while tuberculosis infections are mostly deficiency fires, and the treatments are different.
