Why does half of my tongue hurt?

The tongue is an important organ in the human body. Without the tongue, we cannot speak, chew or stir food, because the tongue is the strongest muscle in the human body. Without a tongue, we would lose our sense of taste and would not be able to experience the taste of various and colorful foods. The tongue is also a good way to observe a patient's physical health. Since the tongue has so many functions, why does it hurt if half of the tongue hurts?

The tongue is an important organ of the human body. There are many reasons why the tongue feels dry, astringent and sometimes painful: it can be caused by diseases of the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys and other organs. It is generally related to blood circulation disorders, especially cerebral ischemia. At the same time, cerebral vascular Doppler ultrasound or CT scan can be done to detect problems early and prevent them early. It can be diagnosed and treated by internal medicine. If the tongue of an elderly person is numb, it should be considered whether it is due to insufficient qi and blood or high blood viscosity. Observing the tongue coating is only one aspect of diagnosis, and the symptoms shown by the tongue coating may also be false.

But in this season, the most likely cause of pain on one side of the tongue is getting a fever. "Getting angry" is a folk slang, also known as "heat", which can be explained from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory and belongs to the category of heat syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the yin and yang of the human body are out of balance and the internal fire is strong, it will cause internal heat. Therefore, the so-called "fire" is used to describe certain hot symptoms in the body, and getting angry is the internal heat symptom that appears after the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body. Specific symptoms include red and swollen eyes, erosion at the corners of the mouth, yellow urine, toothache, sore throat, etc. "Getting angry" is more likely to occur in dry climates and continuous hot and humid weather. Getting angry has a deeper meaning, which refers to some broad symptoms of getting angry. For example, stomach fire can cause stomach pain, dry stool, etc., lung fire can cause hemoptysis, cough, yellow sputum, etc., liver fire can cause some irritability, insomnia, and breast pain in women.

There is fire in the human body. If there is no fire, life will stop. This is the so-called fire of life. Of course, the fire should also be kept within a certain range. For example, body temperature should be around 37 degrees. If the fire is too high, people will feel uncomfortable, and there will be many specific manifestations such as redness, swelling, heat, pain, and irritability.

In a sense, there is life with fire and death without fire. Normally speaking, fire is necessary within a certain range, and fire beyond the normal range is evil fire. Abnormal fire is divided into false fire and real fire. The yin and yang of a normal human body are balanced. For real fire, the yin is normal but the yang is too high, which appears as real fire. In another case, the Yang is less than normal, which makes the Yin appear too strong, thus appearing as false fire.

It turns out that the tiny tongue hides such great mysteries and can indicate so many diseases. If you want to cure tongue pain, from the perspective of getting angry, you should adjust your diet, don't eat irritating food, don't eat spicy and greasy food, you should drink more water, or honeysuckle dew, so that our tongue can recover and continue to work for us.
