Advanced Diagnosis Final Flashcards
What are the causes of facial pain
- Meridian obstruction due to phlegm carried by wind heat
- Meridian obstruction due to phlegm carried by wind cold
- Liver stagnation with fire transformation
- Qi/blood deficiency with blood stasis
SYNDROME: Sudden attack of burning or sharp facial pain around the side of the nose, lips, or lower part of the face, touching it causes intense pain. It is unilateral and aggravated by heat and alleviated by cold. Face turns red when in pain. Other symptoms include sweating, fever, dry mouth, dark urine.
