Key points for diagnosis
(1) The main symptoms include yellowish and whitish ulcers on the gingiva, cheeks, palate, local burning pain and salivation.

(2) If the disease is due to exogenous pathogenic factors, it may be accompanied by fever and submaxillary lymphadenectasis.

(3) The attack of disease is often connected with fever or maladjustment of the diet.

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.
