We report the case of a 27-year-old male with recurrent oral ulcer for about 13 years who visited our hospital last year seeking alternative treatment. After being treated with the method of'enriching yin and clearing heat' (yang yin qing re) for 3 months, the healing time and the recurrent frequency of the oral ulcer improved. However, complete cure remained unattained. Recently, the patient visited our outpatient department again, with the chief complaint of serious pain due to an oral ulcer. Besides the oral ulcer, the patient also had a history of coldintolerance, pallor and cyanosis in distal fingers, especially after exposure to cold. Other symptoms included usual upper abdominal fullness, occasional gastric juice regurgitation, chronic recurrent headache, deep and string-like pulsation, light redness of tongue, and thin, white tongue fur. The diagnosis was 'recurrent aphthous ulcer combined with Raynaud's phenomenon' or in terms of 'pattern identification' in Chinese medicine as 'counterflow cold of reverting Yin' and 'liver cold seeping into the stomach'. The patient was treated with 'Tangkuei Counterflow Cold Decoction' (dang-gui si ni tang) combined with 'CenterRectifying Decoction' (li zhang tang) for 2 weeks, After that time the oral ulcer healed completely. The headache got better following treatments with 'Tangkuei Counterflow Cold Decoction' (dang-gui si ni tang) and 'Evodia Decoction' for 2 weeks. A recent follow-up indicated that the patient had been free of the recurrence of either oral ulcer or Raynaud's phenomenon for 7 months. |
