External application therapy

Chinese medicine "Bianyanxiao" (formerly known as "Bianyanxiao") external application therapy, Bianyanxiao usage effect and self-test:

1. Observing the changes in tonsil color is a very important indicator of whether the use of tonsil elimination is effective. Because of recurrent tonsillitis, even if it is not an acute attack, the color of the tonsils is red. During the application of the medicine, you will observe that the color of the tonsils becomes lighter and lighter. After a certain course of treatment, when the color of the tonsils becomes the same as that of the oral mucosa, it means that the lesions have been cleared and you can stop taking the medication.

2. Observing the changes in tonsil size is a secondary indicator of whether the tonsil patch is effective. Because chronic inflammation stimulates the tonsils to continue to proliferate and edema, tonsillitis will cause varying degrees of swelling. Applying tonsil drops externally can make the edema caused by inflammation disappear. The proliferated part cannot shrink immediately and will gradually shrink after the lesions are cleared.

2. Observing the changes in tonsil symptoms is a reference indicator for whether the tonsil patch is effective. If you have a poor mental state, poor appetite, and snore when you sleep before applying the medicine, the symptoms will gradually ease and disappear after applying the medicine.
