Excellent — your file summarises symptom categories, total frequency, and key terms contributing to each.

Based on this data, the top ten diagnostic questions should target the most prevalent categories and most frequent descriptors across them.

Here’s a ranked list of the Top 10 questions that would best capture the dominant symptom patterns in your dataset:

🩺 Top 10 Diagnostic Questions (Data-Driven)

  1. “Have you experienced any changes in temperature regulation — such as feeling unusually hot, cold, feverish, or chilled?”
    → Covers: Fever / Heat / Cold (most frequent: dry, cold, chill, heat, sweat).

  2. “Have you been feeling unusually weak, tired, or lacking energy?”
    → Covers: General / Constitutional (weak, fatigue, exhaustion, lassitude).

  3. “Have you had any problems with your digestion — such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhoea?”
    → Covers: Digestive (vomit, constipation, diarrhoea, bloating).

  4. “Have you experienced any pain or discomfort — such as aching, soreness, or sharp stabbing sensations?”
    → Covers: Pain (abdominal pain, ach, sore, stabbing).

  5. “Have you noticed any changes in urination or discharge?”
    → Covers: Urinary / Reproductive (urine, discharge, frequency, burning).

  6. “Have you been coughing, short of breath, or noticed chest tightness?”
    → Covers: Respiratory (cough, shortness of breath, wheeze, phlegm).

  7. “Have you experienced dizziness, headaches, or weakness on one side?”
    → Covers: Neurological (dizziness, headache, fainting, weakness).

  8. “Have you noticed changes in your appetite or weight?”
    → Covers: General / Digestive crossover (anorexia, loss of appetite, weight change).

  9. “Have you experienced swelling, puffiness, or fluid retention?”
    → Covers: General / Constitutional (edema, bloating, water retention).

  10. “Have you had any changes in your skin — such as dryness, sweating, rash, or itching?”
    → Covers: Fever / Heat and Dermatological overlap (dry, sweat, rash, itchy).

If you’d like, I can generate a data-weighted question set (automatically ranked and scored from your table) — so Remedy Dragon could dynamically prioritise which questions to ask first, depending on user demographics or frequency weights.

Would you like me to generate that ranked weighting next?

Chief Complaint (CC) “What brought you in today?” The opening question identifies the main symptom or problem in the patient’s own words (e.g., “chest pain,” “shortness of breath,” “fatigue”). 📋 2. History of Present Illness (HPI) A detailed exploration of that main complaint, often using a framework such as SOCRATES (for pain) or similar mnemonics: Mnemonic Meaning Example Question S Site Where exactly is the pain? O Onset When did it start? Sudden or gradual? C Character What is it like (sharp, dull, burning)? R Radiation Does it spread anywhere? A Associated symptoms Any nausea, sweating, or breathlessness?

Past Medical History (PMH) “Do you have any other medical conditions or have you been hospitalized before?” Covers previou...

Teeth and Their Organ Correlations

🦷 1️⃣ Teeth and Their Organ Correlations In TCM, the teeth are seen as “the surplus of the bones” (骨之餘) — meaning they reflect the state of the Kidneys , which govern bones and marrow . So: Healthy, strong teeth → abundant Kidney Jing (essence). Loose, decaying, or missing teeth → decline of Kidney Jing or Yin–Yang imbalance within the Kidney system. Organ Links by Region (simplified) Teeth area Main TCM organ correlation Upper teeth Stomach / Large Intestine meridians (Yang Ming) Lower teeth Kidney / Bladder / Liver pathways (Shaoyin / Jueyin) Molars Spleen and Stomach (digestive root) Canines Liver and Gallbladder Incisors Kidney and Bladder Thus, the loss of teeth can either reflect weakness in these organ systems — or contribute to their imbalance if chewing and nourishment are impaired. ⚖️ 2️⃣ How Missing Teeth Can Affect Patterns Effect TCM Explanation Reduced chewing and digestion Weakens Spleen Qi → less transforma...
