The *Ge Shi Fang* (Prescriptions by Master Ge) treats sudden dislocation of the mandibular joint due to yawning, resulting in inability to close the mouth: Have someone use both hands to pull the patient's chin, temporarily push it back into place, and then quickly withdraw the thumb; otherwise, the thumb may be bitten.
The *Qian Jin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats inability to close the mouth: Mix melted beeswax (honey, or honey dregs) with water and apply it topically.
The *De Zhen Chang Fang* (Standard Prescriptions of De Zhen) treats inability to close the mouth: Moxibustion at Tonggu (BL-29), located half cun lateral to the upper gate (likely referring to a specific anatomical landmark in context).
Another prescription: Moxibustion at Yifeng (TE-17), located in the depression behind the ear, where pressure sensation radiates into the ear.
The *Bing Yuan Lun* (Treatise on the Origins and Manifestations of All Diseases) states: Deficiency of the Heart and Spleen allows Wind-Heat pathogenic factors to invade. Following the meridians to the tongue, the heat lingers and accumulates, causing Qi and Blood to become congested and stagnant, thus leading to tongue swelling.
The *Qian Jin Fang* treats tongue swelling filling the mouth: Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), 12 pieces. Wash with vinegar (Cu), boil until 8 ge remains, hold in the mouth for a long time, then spit out; this brings relief.
It also states: To treat sudden tongue swelling, rising like an inflated pig bladder and filling the mouth while blocking the throat: Urgently scrape both sides of the tongue with fingers to release the fluid, which will cure it. Alternatively, incise with a knife blade.
Another prescription: Crush the swelling with fingers to release the fluid, or incise with a knife and apply Chuang Gao (Ulcer Ointment).
Another prescription: Mix Fu Di Hei Mo (Black powder from the bottom of a cauldron) with vinegar, apply thickly to the upper and lower surfaces of the tongue. Reapply as needed until it subsides within moments. If the fluid is released first, applying Chuang Gao afterwards yields better results.
Another prescription: Patients often do not recognize this condition, and misdiagnosis can worsen it, leading to rapid death. Examine under the tongue; there may be a "Jin Chong" (Lockjaw Worm) visible, resembling a mole cricket or a silkworm lying down. Carefully inspect for head and tail. The head is slightly white. Burn an iron nail red-hot and cauterize the head of the worm until cooked, causing it to dissolve spontaneously.
The *Ge Shi Fang* treats sudden tongue swelling rising like an inflated pig bladder, filling the mouth and blocking the throat, with breath nearly obstructed; failure to treat promptly leads to death: Directly use fingers... [text missing] ...release blood... cured cases.
Another prescription: Decoct Gancao Tang (Licorice Decoction) strongly, gargle for a short while.
