The patient suffers from abdominal fullness, frequent asthma and coughing, red face, body heat, and a sensation of a lump in the throat and pharynx. This is termed "Excess Heat of the Large Intestine."
Formula for treating Excess Heat of the Large Intestine, characterized by abdominal distension and obstruction, and oral ulcers:
