the boy was brought to us to take Tuina massage. His tempreture was 38.2C. His
swollen cheek in left looked like a egg of goose but not red. He couldn't speak
due to pain. After inquiring we learned he had taken a lot of mutton and some
crab in the early day.In TCM, mutton adds fire and crabs bring wind, wind and
fire stir up each other. It's advisable to clear away heat and subdue swelling.
