After recovering from the disease, it is also necessary to protect the lung and stomach yin and fluids from time to time, just as Ye Tianshi’s “Warming and Fever Article of Discernment” says: “If the heat evil offends the lung and is not treated, it is most likely to consume yin and injure fluids, so the best policy is to protect the fluids of the body from time to time.
