lingering/subnormal disease

[Guest guest]

 

 

This is a query about lingering disease.

 

The patient is already emaciated, and loses even more weight due to any simple

ailment (eg. common cold/sore throat), with subnormal temperature (~99 deg or

less).

 

Modern medicine really doses not care unless it exceeds 99 deg, so I would

appreciate any traditional views.

 

Thanks

 Hi Steve. Can you give any more details?  e.g.  age, sex, CM diagnostics,

clinical presentation, your impressions, or medical history. Unaccounted for

weight loss is a big flag. Thanks Fran.

Hi,Steve

 

Sounds like an deficiency cold patterns associated with spleen and kidney yang

deficiency. In order to get a tcm opinion, you need to provide the following

data:

 

age,

gender,menustral conditions required for female under 50

medical history,

appetite,

sleep quality,

conditon of urination (volume, color) and defecation (habit,shape, duration),

tongue fur & color,

pulse image if you are tcm doc,

eating habits and diet are extra,

laboratory results are extra,

 

The prinicple treatment is to open up his/her appetite, which I think should not

be too difficult; unless.....

 

Hope that helps
