The above only introduces the general syndrome differentiation of damp-heat syndrome and its basic treatment principles and methods, but further discusses the main points of differentiation between syndrome types, matters needing attention in medication, and the differentiation of similar syndromes and suspected syndromes that many diseases are common in damp-heat syndrome, which are as follows: the main points of differentiation between syndrome types of damp-heat syndrome, matters needing attention in medication: 1, through the syndrome differentiation of three types of damp-heat syndrome, It is possible for doctors to initially distinguish between dampness and heat, so as to focus on the selection of heat-clearing drugs and dampness-clearing drugs accordingly: firstly, dampness is heavier than heat, and dampness-clearing drugs are the main ones, followed by heat-clearing drugs; With the development of the disease, dampness gradually turns into dryness and heat, and when heat is heavier than dampness, heat-clearing drugs should be given priority, followed by diuretics; If both damp and heat are abundant, clearing heat and promoting diuresis will be carried out simultaneously. The simplest but most effective way to distinguish between damp-heat and light-heat: first, look at tongue coating; Secondly, ask thirst. If the dampness is heavy and the heat is light, the tongue coating is white and greasy, and the mouth is pale and not thirsty; For those who pay equal attention to damp and heat, the tongue coating is yellow, thick and greasy, and they are thirsty and do not want to drink, or they like hot drinks when they are thirsty; The heat is heavier than dampness, the tongue coating is yellow and slightly greasy or yellow and dry, but not greasy, and the thirst is obvious and you want to drink. 2. Most of the heat-clearing drugs and diuretics are cold and cool, belonging to "feminine" drugs. They are dignified and sticky, and they are difficult to transport and affect the curative effect, and also affect the function of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, when using this kind of medicine, it should be combined with warm and dry products as appropriate, such as Cortex Magnolia Officinalis, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Radix Aucklandiae, Rhizoma Atractylodis, Rhizoma Pinelliae Preparata, Ramulus Cinnamomi and other "masculine" drugs (even if heat is heavier than dampness). So as to promote the ascending and descending of qi, facilitate the transport of drugs, and protect the function of the spleen and stomach, thus improving the curative effect.

3, the use of heat-clearing and diuretic drugs to promote urination will inevitably consume body fluids. Therefore, when using heat-clearing and dampness-removing methods, enough is enough. This method should be used with caution for patients with deficiency of yin and fluid, or with herbs for nourishing yin and promoting body fluid as appropriate. This method is not applicable to those who are not accompanied by dampness or dampness has turned into dryness and fire.
