Abstract
Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a self-limiting thyroid disease. At present, Western medicine mainly relies on the use of glucocorticoids and a variety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of SAT. Although the condition has been alleviated to a certain extent, its efficacy still needs to be further improved. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment of SAT. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this paper analyzed the understanding of traditional Chinese medicine in the etiology, pathogenesis and syndrome differentiation of SAT in recent years, and also reviewed the application of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of swelling with SAT, providing new insights and strategies for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of SAT.
