颊疡胃经积热生，初如红粟渐榴形，脓出肿消易敛愈，脓稀难敛漏因成。
\r颊疡图\p04-34a47.bmp\r
【注】此证生于耳下颊车骨间，由阳明胃经积热而生。始发如粟，色红渐大如榴，
初起宜犀角升麻汤清解之。若失治，或过敷寒药，以致肌冷凝结，坚硬难消难溃者，宜
升阳散火汤宣发之。将溃，宜托里消毒散。脓熟针之，脓出肿退，疮口易敛者则愈。或
牙关紧急不开，或旁肿不消，脓水清稀，因而成漏，复被寒侵疮孔，致生多骨，经年缠
绵难愈者，服桂附地黄丸，外用豆豉饼垫灸艾壮，初用九壮，以知热痒为止，每日灸之
以朽骨脱出，脓渐少而肌渐平为度。兼用红升丹，捻入疮口内，万应膏盖贴，每日一易。
患者当慎起居，戒腥发等物，渐渐收功。

Jia Yang (abscess of the cheek) arises from accumulated heat in the Stomach Meridian. Initially, it resembles a red millet grain, gradually enlarging to resemble a pomegranate. If pus is discharged and swelling subsides, healing occurs easily; if the pus is thin and difficult to consolidate, a fistula may form.
[Note] This condition occurs between the bone below the ear at the Jiache point, caused by accumulated heat in the Yangming Stomach Meridian. It begins like a millet grain, red in color, gradually enlarging to the size of a pomegranate. At the initial stage, Xijiao Shengma Tang (Rhino Horn and Cimicifuga Decoction) should be used to clear heat and resolve the exterior. If treatment is delayed, or if cold medicines are over-applied, causing muscle coldness and coagulation, resulting in hardness that is difficult to dissipate or suppurate, Shengyang Sanhuo Tang (Raising Yang and Dispersing Fire Decoction) should be used to vent the stagnant fire. When about to suppurate, Tuoli Xiaodu San (Supporting the Interior and Detoxifying Powder) is appropriate. Once the pus is ripe, it should be punctured with a needle. If the swelling recedes after pus discharge and the wound closes easily, the patient will recover. If there is trismus (lockjaw) preventing mouth opening, or persistent swelling on the side, with thin purulent discharge leading to fistula formation, compounded by cold pathogen invading the wound hole causing exostosis (multiple dead bones), resulting in a chronic, lingering condition difficult to heal for years, Guifu Dihuang Wan (Cinnamon Twig and Aconite Rehmannia Pill) should be taken. Externally, apply moxibustion using a Fermented Soybean Cake (Douchi Bing) as a cushion. Start with nine moxa cones, stopping when warmth and itching are felt. Perform moxibustion daily until the necrotic bone falls out, pus decreases gradually, and tissue levels out. Concurrently, use Hongsheng Dan (Red Ascending Cinnabar) rolled into strips and inserted into the wound, covered with Wanying Gao (All-Effect Ointment), changing once daily. The patient should maintain careful daily routines and avoid pungent, fishy, and "fa" (stimulating/allergic-triggering) foods to gradually achieve recovery.
