Hello! I have underlying condition with my throat for four years now. Every morning for years starts with coughing and spitting mucus. Couple years ago had very bad condition with knife sharp pain in the throat, sanded throat feeling and pain in the ear. Had a change to be in Chicago to Chinese herbalist who gave me mix of teas. Boiled and used for few weeks, but helped with only sharp pain in the throat and sanded feeling. Had three courses of them. Didn’t help for cough. Recently was in Chicago again to another Chinese doctor who gave BAN XIA HOU PO & XIAO CHAI HU. These pills helped for two weeks only. Had no cough, no mucus for first time in a long time. Ordered online the same pills and didn’t help even for two weeks. He said my spleen and liver functions are weak. My mouth is extremely dry, developed cavities on all of my front teeth in few month, but still have dry cough with mucus every morning, heaviness in the throat and pain in one ear. I had diabetes, that I healed myself with Xiao Ke pills, so I associated mouth dryness with what’s left from diabetes, but never with spleen weakness.
My question would be what direction should I head now finally to treat my throat? Tired of everyday coughing for four years and feeling of constant sickness.
Currently live in Georgia, heavily humid area. Chicago’s four month winters are not for me. Thank you for any idea where should I go now.
