Feeling hot after taking Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine is actually a very common treatment method for diseases, but patients must pay attention that they should go to a regular Chinese medicine hospital to obtain the Chinese medicine treatment prescription and follow the doctor's instructions to make it. If you feel feverish after taking Chinese medicine, it may be caused by improper use of the medicine. You should seek medical attention in time to check the cause.

1. If you always sweat and feel hot after taking Chinese medicine, it may be caused by improper use of the medicine. Patients must take medicines under the guidance of a doctor and must not buy medicines at some Chinese medicine stores on their own. This may lead to some unexpected situations caused by improper use of the medicine, which must be taken seriously.

2. If you always sweat and feel hot after taking Chinese medicine, it may be caused by excessive dosage. So you must stop taking it at this time. Can you drink Chinese medicine blindly? Because it may cause some harm to the body. Only taking it correctly can achieve the best effect.

3. It may be normal to sweat and feel hot all over after taking Chinese medicine. If the patient drinks some traditional Chinese medicine for nourishing the body, the medicinal effect of the medicine will take effect, causing the patient to sweat and feel hot all over. So there is no need to worry too much, as this is a normal phenomenon.

Note:

Everyone must protect their bodies in daily life and pay attention to their physical health at all times. If there is any abnormality in the body, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Also, please note that you must take the medication under the guidance of a doctor.

What should not be taken with Chinese medicine?

Strong tea

Generally, do not drink strong tea when taking Chinese medicine, because tea contains tannic acid. Strong tea contains more tannic acid. Taking it with Chinese medicine will affect the body's absorption of the active ingredients in the medicine and reduce its efficacy.

radish

It is not advisable to eat raw radish when taking Chinese medicine (except for taking qi-regulating and phlegm-resolving medicine), because radish has the effects of digesting food and breaking up qi. Eating radish will weaken the tonic effect, reduce the efficacy of the medicine and fail to achieve the therapeutic purpose.

Spicy food

Hot and spicy foods are mostly warm in nature, and can consume qi and stimulate fire. If you are taking Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and eliminating toxins, nourishing yin and increasing fluid, cooling blood and nourishing yin, or during the treatment of febrile diseases such as carbuncles, ulcers and toxins, you should avoid spicy food.

Cold food

Raw and cold foods can easily irritate the gastrointestinal tract and affect the gastrointestinal absorption of drugs.

Fishy food

Generally, Chinese medicines have aromatic smells and contain a large amount of volatile oils, which are used to exert their therapeutic effects. These aromatic substances are incompatible with fishy smells. Such as the fishy smell of fish, shrimp, and seafood, and the mutton smell of cattle and mutton. For patients with allergic dermatitis, they must avoid eating fishy and smelly foods while taking Chinese medicine.

Greasy food

Greasy food is sticky in nature, promotes dampness and phlegm, causes loose bowels and gas, and is difficult to digest and absorb. Moreover, mixing greasy food with medicine can hinder the gastrointestinal absorption of the effective ingredients of the medicine, thereby reducing the efficacy.

Don't put sugar in Chinese medicine

Adding sugar to Chinese medicine will reduce its efficacy. First of all, eating too much sugar will increase heat. If the patient has symptoms of damp-heat retention such as abdominal distension, fullness, and thick and greasy tongue coating, it is generally forbidden to add sugar to avoid adverse reactions. People with phlegm should not take it.

Secondly, white sugar is cool in nature and brown sugar is warm in nature. If white sugar is added to warm medicines, or brown sugar is added to cold medicines, the medicinal properties will be weakened, hindering the full absorption of the medicinal effects and affecting the efficacy.
