Sangso Syndrome is characterized by a red and fissured tongue along with severe dryness in the oral cavity, commonly occurring in those with a Yang type constitution. This condition can primarily be caused by inflammation of the oral mucosa or internal heat, making proper management necessary. Pharmacists may use treatment or adjunctive agents to alleviate these symptoms and improve discomfort in the mouth. Medications that help maintain oral health and improve symptoms are used in the treatment of Sangso Syndrome.
