Chinese medicine believes that sore throat is mostly related to external wind-heat and heat in the lungs and stomach, and can be treated with acupoints such as Shaoshang, Yuzhi and Hegu.
1. Shaoshang: this point belongs to the hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, located in the finger, the thumb end of the radial side of the corner of the root of the fingernail 0.1 inches above the side. This point can be used for the treatment of sore throat, high fever, coma and epilepsy.
2. Fishbone: This point belongs to the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the hand and is located on the outer side of the hand, at the midpoint of the radial side of the 1st metacarpal bone, at the intersection of the red and white flesh (the junction between the heart of the hand and the back of the hand, and the heart of the foot and the back of the foot). This point can be used for the treatment of cough, hemoptysis, dry throat, sore throat and other diseases.
3. Hegu: This point belongs to the hand Yangming large intestine meridian, located on the back of the hand, the 2nd metacarpal bone radial midpoint. This point can be used for the treatment of eye redness and swelling pain, headache, sore throat, crooked mouth and eyes.
For patients with sore throat, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for consultation and treatment under the guidance of a specialized physician to identify the symptoms.
