Deficiency
Lung Yin Deficiency

Lung and kidney yin deficiency
It is common for older patients, or people who stay up late and sleep late to hurt their yin.
This kind of pharyngitis produces itchy throat symptoms not only limited to the throat, but also from the throat gradually up to the nasopharynx, the upper gums to the nasal cavity.
