Answers:
Never make the mistake of jumping to a diagnosis based on a single symptom! This applies in western medicine and it goes double for Traditional Chinese Medicine.

You have to look at the totality of the symptoms. Check tongue. Check pulses. Zoom out a little and look at the whole case. If you do that, it's much easier to differentiate between a yin deficiency and a yang deficiency. Look for the classic, hallmark differences.
