First, what to do when you encounter “dry” symptoms? First of all, there is no need to be nervous. Many experts on the Internet have warned about the method of early diagnosis, which is beneficial to patients, but there are also many inconveniences in operation. I often see many patients with dry mouth or dry eyes in the clinic, who have spent a lot of energy on registration and examination, but in the end, it is still not clear that it is dry syndrome! Since they can’t be diagnosed, they often don’t know what to do below! In fact, from a large number of clinical observations, our diagnosis and treatment concept or diagnosis and treatment level is somewhat backward. Don’t only think of dry syndrome when you encounter dryness symptoms, many subhealth states have dryness symptoms, which I call “pseudo-dryness symptoms”. First of all, you can find a general practitioner (or internal medicine), and they can make a preliminary judgment based on their experience. For the “pseudo-dryness symptoms”, they can often be solved with simple medication and life guidance. For those with high suspicion, proceed further. Second, how to suspect and confirm the diagnosis? Dry mouth and eyes are the most common symptoms, while skin, nerves, joints, lymph, blood, liver, kidney, pancreas, etc. can also be involved, and there are many websites with popular knowledge of Western medicine in this regard. I just want to remind you that we can’t diagnose it ourselves! Must go to a reliable hospital (usually a tertiary hospital rheumatology department) by a specialist to determine the diagnosis. Otherwise, delayed treatment is not good, wrong diagnosis is wrong treatment is even worse. Do not believe the advertising slogans. Third, how to choose the treatment? I am afraid that for those who are seriously ill, it is inevitable to combine Chinese and Western medicine, and if necessary, hormones are used to control the disease. But the majority of patients are not so heavy, I know that Chinese medicine has the advantage. The advantage of Chinese medicine is “not treating dryness as dryness”, but adopting the discriminative treatment idea of “treating the same disease differently” and “treating different diseases with the same treatment”, and conditioning the whole body, which is clinically proven to have very good effect. It is clinically proven that the effect is very good. Especially for those middle-aged and elderly patients who suffer from many kinds of diseases at the same time. For the “false dryness symptom”, it can generally return to normal in a week or two. For example, there is a 70-year-old patient who has been suffering from dryness for three years, rheumatoid for 15 years, hypertension for 30 years, renal insufficiency and high aminotransferase (drug-based), and has been taking various drugs such as oral antihypertensive, anti-rheumatic and immune regulating drugs. He has been taking oral hypotensive, anti-rheumatic and immune regulating drugs, and currently has no appropriate treatment plan. The main principle: treating both the symptoms and the root cause, supporting the righteousness and eliminating the evil; legislation: invigorating blood, warming the kidney, tonifying qi and lowering turbidity.
