TCM Diagnosis for Chronic Tonsillitis

Key points for diagnosis
(1) The patient has a history of repeated acute onset, without obvious subjective symptoms in normal times. Sometimes, mild symptoms may exist such as pharyngodynia, dry throat, local foreign body sensation, local burning sensation, irritable cough and foul breath. In the case of excessive tonsillar hypertrophy, there may exist dysfunctions of respiration, swallowing and speech resonance. Prolonged and repeated stimulation of chronic inflammation may cause general symptoms like low fever, headache, fatigue and aching pain of limbs.

(2) Local examination may show chronic congestion of the tonsil and the palatoglossal arch, unsmooth tonsillar surface and scars adhering to the surrounding tissues.There exists yellow-white secretion like caseous substance in crypts which can be discharged when the palatoglossal arch is pressed. Submaxillary lymphadenectasis exists in most cases.

In TCM, a disease or a symptom might be caused by one pathogenic factor, even two or three pathogenic factors. When diagnosing a disease or a symptom, TCM doctors must follow the principle of "Syndrome Dfferentiation", and then "Suit the Remedy to the Case". In order to gain a more definite and valuable diagnosis, it's important and necessary for the doctor to learn the detailed health information of the patient, including his/her disease duration, age, sex, height, weight, family history, urine, stool, diet, sleep, sweat, energy, mood (emotion), as well as the tongue conditions and the palm conditions, etc. If you would want our expert to create a TCM diagnosis, you're welcome to contact us.
