The waist and back ache. After the chills cease, both exterior and interior become hot, accompanied by severe headache as if splitting, and thirst for cold drinks. Alternatively, phlegm accumulates in the chest causing fullness and nausea; or heat precedes chills, or chills precede heat; or there is more chills than heat, or less chills than heat; or equal amounts of chills and heat; or only heat without chills, or only chills without heat; or attacks occur every other day, daily, or every three to five days.
