Bacteria in the throat

Throat fungus is the name of a disease in traditional Chinese medicine theory. It is a malignant tumor.

About throat bacteria

The bacteria in the throat are group A hemolytic streptococci, which are conditionally pathogenic. The colonies grown on the blood agar plate are small, round, smooth, grayish white, with neat edges, translucent, flat at first and then collapsed in the center, forming an umbilical shape. There is a 1 to 2 mm wide grass-green hemolytic ring around the colony, which is called type A hemolysis or α hemolysis.

Causes of Throat Fungus

1. Lung heat stagnation and phlegm-heat stagnation

The patient has phlegm heat and is invaded by external evil. The internal and external evil heat accumulate in the lungs, and the fire poison goes up through the meridians to burn the throat. The phlegm heat is combined and accumulates in the throat to form a lump.

2. Excessive heat in the spleen and stomach, internal fire poison

Due to improper diet, long-term addiction to smoking and drinking, and excessive consumption of spicy, roasted, fatty, and greasy foods, heat accumulates in the spleen and stomach, and fire poison is trapped inside the body, which is intertwined in the throat, blocking the blood vessels and forming lumps. If there is heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach, and dampness and turbidity cannot be transformed, dampness and heat will combine to block the throat and form a lump.

3. Liver Qi stagnation, Qi stagnation and blood stasis

Due to emotional frustration, worry and anger, liver qi is stagnant, qi flow is not smooth, and qi stagnation lasts for a long time, qi and blood stagnate in the meridians and gather into lumps.

Care methods

During the treatment process, both attack and supplementation can be used, or attack first and then supplement, or use poison to fight poison, or promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, or use bitter herbs to expel heat and toxins. All of these should be selected as appropriate and applied flexibly. This disease is a syndrome of excess of evil, and death is often caused by exhaustion of Qi and blood. Emphasis should be placed on strengthening the spleen and nourishing the essence, replenishing Qi and blood, in order to achieve the goal of strengthening the body and eliminating evil.
