2. Sore throat and red throat are acute pharyngitis or acute tonsillitis or red and swollen tonsils from the perspective of Western medicine.
3. The tip of the tongue is red.
4. Because the lungs and the large intestine are in the same place, the heat in the lungs will definitely affect the large intestine, and dry stool is also an indicator of lung heat.
02. How does lung fire come about?
1. First of all, the first point is directly related to the quality of heat dissipation in our skin, because the lungs of traditional Chinese medicine are open to the skin. It's a lot of problems on your skin, which are probably caused by lung fire. Sometimes people with lung fire have a lot of small acne on their bodies.
2. There are more and more people with lung fire now, because we have too good thermal insulation conditions now, and there are few opportunities to contact wind and cold, which leads to the accumulation of lung heat.
3. The reason why modern people have a lot of lung fire is that there is a wrong concept in the parenting process, parents always wear a lot for their children, excessive heat preservation increases body temperature, heat can not be dissipated, and stasis is easy to form lung heat. There is also something to do with being overly concerned about yourself.

Modern colds are basically cold and fire, it may be a little wind chill, but it is all hot in nature. This is a particularly common feature of a cold.
Many people drink ginger soup when they have a cold, but now it is especially necessary to be cautious.
Because in the past, people may not have had so much heat, and they were basically just cold or freezing. Ginger soup can drive the cold out. Now when I drink ginger soup, the cold is driven out, but my throat is immediately aggravated because ginger is hot.
