A case of common cold syndrome complicated with greater yang and lesser yang disease with complains of abdominal fullness after fluid administration / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

We experienced a case with symptoms ranging between greater yang and lesser yang disease after fluid administration. A 62-year-old woman complained of abdominal fullness, systemic feebleness, dull headache and buzzing in the ear. As she had the symptoms of greater yang disease such as chillness, fever and headache, and those of lesser yang disease such as vertigo, bitter taste in the mouth, thirst and fullness beneath the heart, she was diagnosed as having the complication of greater yang and lesser yang disease. As a result, fluid administration was stopped and Shirei-to was administered. The following was found; eliminated systemic feebleness, restored appetite, improved fullness beneath the heart and loss of body weight. Saikokeishi-to was effective for nausea and sense of epigastric pressure. The patient recovered her vitality sufficiently to travel. For cold and pain of legs and loins, Toki-shigyaku-ka-goshuyu-shokyo-to was effective. Fluid administration is usually for alimentation and the treatment of dehydration, however, it should be indicated with caution for common cold syndrome.
