Plum nucleus qi (similar to pharyngeal allodynia) does not have a time of day when it is serious, and its severity is more related to the patient’s mood swings. Plum nucleus qi is a generalized term for a foreign body sensation in the pharynx that cannot be coughed up or swallowed. Chinese medicine believes that plum nucleus qi is caused by excessive emotional fluctuations, or emotional depression, phlegm and qi stagnation. This disease is often seen in chronic pharyngitis, neurosis and other diseases. Treatment is suitable for regulating qi, relieving depression and resolving phlegm. The disease is mostly caused by phlegm-qi stagnation, and representative treatment formulas include Half-summer and Thick-stemmed Park Soup (mainly composed of Half-summer, Thick-stemmed Park, Ginger, Poria, and Perilla). In addition, patients who are suffering from liver depression can also be treated with the addition and subtraction of Free and Easy San (mainly composed of licorice, angelica, chaihu, poria, peony, mint, etc.). When treating this disease, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital, under the guidance of a professional physician, and choose the treatment according to one’s own situation.
