Key points for diagnosis
(1) The onset of the disease is acute, with the premonitory symptoms like sneeze, cough, etc. before the onset. Or it occurs suddenly at night, with the manifestations of rale in the throat, dyspnea, even inability to lie in a horizontal position, dysphoria and restlessness.

(2) The disease is often induced by climatic changes, catching cold or contacting some anaphylactogenic substances.

(3) The patient may have the history of infantile eczema or family history of allergy.

(4) Ausculation of the lung discovers wheeze spreading the lungs and prolonged expiration.

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.
