Question
Dry and hot lips, painful to the point of being unbearable, have tried traditional Chinese medicine and anti-inflammatory medications but have not seen improvement, seeking medical assistance.
Answer
Dry and hot lips may be caused by spleen heat, improper diet, poor sleep quality, and emotional issues. It is recommended to check for conditions such as diabetes, stomach heat, or vitamin deficiencies, and pay attention to a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and ensuring adequate sleep. You can try eating porridge made with lily bulbs, wolfberries, Job’s tears, yam, and glutinous rice.
