Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology cover diseases of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, and mouth. Among these, eye and ear-nose-throat diseases are commonly treated with TCM diagnosis and therapy in TCM practice. However, oral diseases are mostly treated with Western medicine or a combination of TCM and Western medicine. To highlight the characteristics of TCM and the precautions in TCM diagnosis and treatment, this book does not include oral diseases. This book strives to be concise and practical, based on clinical realities, discussing common ophthalmic and otolaryngological diseases encountered in practice. It enables clinicians to clearly determine the depth and progression of diseases, as well as potential life-threatening conditions hidden within them, ensuring accurate diagnosis, avoiding misdiagnosis or inadequate treatment, and improving therapeutic outcomes. At the same time, it strengthens awareness of self-protection, reduces unnecessary medical disputes and accidents, and alleviates patients' suffering. TCM ophthalmology and otolaryngology encompass complex diseases with a wide scope. This book is written from the perspective of clinical practice for practicing physicians.
