Three Herbs for Throat Paralysis

There is no such thing as three herbs for treating laryngeal paralysis (redness, swelling and pain in the pharynx, or dryness, foreign body sensation, or itchy discomfort in the pharynx and difficulty in swallowing) clinically, and the commonly used medicines for this disease include Diao Feng Qing Hei Tang (疏风清热汤), Qing Yu Li Diaphragm Tang (清咽利膈汤), and Nourishing Yin and Clearing Lungs (养阴清肺 (to get rid of lung heat by nourishing the lungs and fluids) Tang). The main causes of laryngeal paralysis in Chinese medicine are external attack, excess heat in the lungs and stomach (the heat in the lungs and stomach is very heavy), and deficiency of yin in the lungs and kidneys, etc. The medicines chosen to treat the different causes are different. 1. Generally speaking, if there is an attack of external evils, with symptoms such as fever, chills (fear of cold), headache, cough with yellowish sputum, red tongue, thin yellow moss, and floating pulse, the treatment of wind-expelling and heat-clearing medicines, such as Wind-Expelling and Heat-Clearing Soup, is often needed. 2. If there is heat in the lungs and stomach, which is characterized by fever, thirst, foul breath, dry stools, and short and red urine (small amount of urine, dark yellow in color), medicines for clearing heat in the lungs and stomach, such as Clearing Throat and Lifting the Diaphragm Soup, can be chosen for the treatment. 3. If the lungs and kidneys are deficient in yin, with symptoms such as heat in the hands and feet, hot flashes (a burst of heat), night sweating (abnormal sweating after going to sleep, but sweating stops after waking up), red cheekbones (reddish color of cheekbones), insomnia, and red tongue with little moss, etc., you can choose medicines to nourish yin and lower the fire, for example, Nourishing Yin and Clearing the Lung Soup. The adverse effects of the above medications are not clear, if you need to use the medication, it is recommended to consult a doctor before using the medication.
