Cautions:
External carbuncle is a commonly encountered clinical disease and is often caused by infection due to injury in the four limbs. Therefore, it is necessary to intensify protection in work and treat traumatic injury promptly for decreasing the recurrent rate of this disease. The neck carbuncle is related to pathogenic wind and heat. In the treatment, it is advisable not to overuse the herbal drugs in bitter and cold nature, in order to avoid a rigor status caused by failure of external elimination of pathogenic factors, if hindered by cold herbs. After a suppurative mass is formed, the duration of illness can linger. Sometimes, it is needed to use herbal drugs that can warm the meridians and disperse cold, for obtaining complete cure after local suppuration. For severe condition, it is advisable to use antibiotics in combination.
