yang pathogenie—sudden and spiked high fever, seen with diarrehea —-symptons–overly bundled kids too–
damp
sticky discharge–tonify SP and drain damp in SP, nasal discharge
lingering pathogenie factor
very thick phlegm - persistent. When an illness is left untreated or inappropriate treatment the disease is prevented from running its natural course—partially treated disease left behind from original disease (the echo)
