Analysis of Etiology and Pathology
[Analysis 1]: The symptoms of flying throat wind: This disease occurs on the upper palate and is also known as hanging carbuncle. It is shaped like a purple plum. There is discomfort in breathing, difficulty in eating, and unbearable dull pain. This is caused by the accumulated heat in the Spleen Meridian.
