Extended data:
pathogenesis
The main pathogenesis of mumps is that pathogenic toxin blocks shaoyang meridians, qi and blood compete, and it is depressed under the ears and cheeks. Pathogenic toxin of warm wind enters from the mouth and nose muscles and invades the gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang. The gallbladder meridian starts from the outer canthus, passes through the front ear and then descends on both sides of the body, and ends at the fourth toe of both feet.
Shaoyang is affected by evil, and heat poison attacks both cheeks along meridians, fighting with qi and blood, and qi and blood stagnate, resulting in local swelling and pain. Heat turns into fire, which leads to persistent high fever, irritability and headache, disharmony of meridians, unfavorable viscera and difficulty in chewing.
