Comment: << review queue entry 24722 - submitted by 'chad' >>
In the traditional field, 症 is favored over 癥 based on two observations:
1) we currently already have 116 entries ending in zheng4, with 症|症 instead of 癥|症. There are only 14 with 癥|症, which are the ones represented here for changing.
2) Of those 116 entries, I looked at all the words with at least one other traditional character (so as to exclude identical simplified words) and compared 癥 vs 症. Google hits were generally 10x favoring 症. The only exception was 頑症, in which 頑癥 was more frequent. However, dictionaries are not consistent with this word, as some have only 頑症, and some only 頑癥.

Please note the change from 癥结 to 癥結, as it was an entry that was recently modified. I'm proposing the change based what exists in dictionaries, plus Google hits
