What to do if you have swollen and painful gums due to cough

Oral inflammation is a very common symptom. In severe cases, it can cause sore throat and gums. If a cold is caused by internal heat, the patient will also have symptoms of coughing. When it comes to getting angry, some targeted medicines can relieve most of the uncomfortable symptoms. However, traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are different types of getting angry. What should we do if our cough and swollen gums are caused by getting angry? First of all, we need to know the root cause.

Some elderly people often suffer from "heat" symptoms such as red, swollen and sore eyes, swollen and painful throats, swollen and painful gums, painful mouth ulcers, and painful erosions on the tip of the tongue in the summer. In summer, "heat" can be cured by diet therapy, which often has unique therapeutic effects.

Precautionary Principle

Mental Adjustment

At ordinary times, you should pay attention to maintaining an optimistic mood, take a walk in places with fresh air frequently, expel the old and take in the new, so as to restrain the "spirit" and protect the lung qi from being invaded by dry evil.

Diet

Drink more water, porridge, and soy milk, and eat more lung-moisturizing foods such as lily, radish, and honey. You can also drink Chinese medicine formula tea such as Juqi Tea regularly for conditioning. Secondly, foods like water chestnuts, bananas, and loquats are also good moisturizing foods. At the same time, you can take some health supplements that are harmless to your body, such as duck meat. Chinese medicine believes that duck meat is cold in nature. In addition to replenishing the body, nourishing yin and nourishing the stomach, it can also disinfect heat, promote urination, and relieve sores and boils, which is rare in most warm meat and poultry. In addition, other cool meats include soft-shelled turtle, black fish, frog meat, crab, etc. Do not consume too much warm food or medicine, such as mutton, dog meat, ginseng, deer antler, etc., otherwise it will easily aggravate autumn dryness.

Strengthen your exercise

It is advisable to choose exercises that are easy, gentle and do not require much activity. Regularly participating in some physical fitness activities in the early morning and evening, such as long walking, jogging and other activities can regulate physical and mental health. Regularly participating in fitness activities in autumn can not only regulate the mind and nourish the lungs and improve the functions of internal organs, but also help enhance the immune function of various tissues and organs. The temperature difference between day and night is relatively large in autumn. Exercise can give the body a benign stimulation, keeping the human body temperature regulation mechanism constantly in a state of tension, which helps to improve people's ability to adapt to environmental changes and improve the function of the cardiovascular system, making it easier to adapt to climate changes after entering winter.
