Burning mouth syndrome belongs to the category of tongue pain in Chinese medicine, and the duration of Chinese medicine treatment ranges from one week to several weeks, depending on the individual’s situation and the severity of the condition.
Tongue pain in traditional Chinese medicine is thought to be caused by emotional depression and fire, over-eating spicy food, and inflammation of the heart fire, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine treatments include traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture treatment, and so on.
If the fire is caused by emotional depression, symptoms such as emotional upset, burning pain in the abdomen and ribs, you can choose gentian diarrhea liver soup, diarrhea green pill, and so on. If it is due to over-eating of spicy food, resulting in inflammation of stomach fire, symptoms such as bad breath and constipation, thirst and cold drinks, etc., can choose Niuhuang Qingtu Pill. If the inflammation is caused by fire in the heart, such as sores on the tip of the tongue, short and red urine (small amount of urine, dark yellow in color), and heartburn and insomnia, then Guanchisan can be chosen.
The above medicines should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and should not be used on one’s own.
