Chapter 734: Laryngeal paralysis

Because of Zhou Ning's special physique, Ye Chen knew that compared to other children, he was more likely to get sick. Unexpectedly, less than two months have passed, and I started to get sick again.

When Ye Chen took Zhou Ning from Gao Meilin's hands, he looked at Zhou Ning, who was still hoarse and crying, looked at Gao Meilin on the side and asked, "When did Zhou Ning have such a situation?"

Judging from Zhou Ning's situation, it should have been a short time ago, Gao Meilin said: "Maybe it was last night, when I finished lunch and breastfed today, he was still fine, Aunt Mei said that he only began to have this symptom in the afternoon." ”

Ye Chen hurriedly carried Zhou Ning back to the second floor of the main building of the villa, in fact, it has now entered late autumn, and the temperature changes greatly during the day and night, not to mention children, even adults, if they don't pay attention, they are also easy to get sick.

While she was cooking dinner, Aunt Fang, who was wearing an apron, came up and asked, "Doctor Ye, how is Zhou Ning?"

"This belongs to pediatric laryngeal paralysis, and it should be fine after drinking two doses of medicine, you don't have to worry. Ye Chen said.

Laryngeal paralysis, a term for the throat disease of otorhinolaryngology in traditional Chinese medicine, is a throat disease with redness, swelling and pain in the pharynx, or dryness, foreign body sensation, and itchy throat discomfort as the main symptoms.

In Western medicine, it is called upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngitis, etc.

The term laryngeal paralysis was first seen in the Neijing, such as "Su Wen: Yin and Yang Treatise": "One yin and one yang knot, called laryngeal paralysis", which has a wide range of meanings, and probably includes a variety of acute and chronic inflammation of the throat characterized by redness, swelling and pain in the throat.

Later generations of Chinese medicine practitioners gradually detailed the classification of diseases, distinguishing "laryngeal paralysis" as an independent disease, such as the "laryngeal heart method": "Where redness and swelling are invisible for paralysis, tangible is moth", but in general, the concept of "laryngeal paralysis" in ancient medical books has always been more general.

The concept of "laryngeal paralysis" in modern Chinese medicine laryngology has been gradually unified, which refers specifically to acute and chronic pharyngitis, and according to the different etiology and pathogenesis, acute pharyngitis can also be called "wind-heat laryngeal paralysis" or "wind-cold laryngeal paralysis".

The formation of this disease is mostly due to careless living, lung defense is not solid, resulting in wind-heat evil poison invasion, from the mouth and nose directly to the throat, resulting in pharyngeal redness, swelling and pain and wind-heat laryngeal paralysis.

If it is due to mistreatment or normal lung and stomach heat, the evil heat will spread and the lung and stomach will become seriously ill. For those who are weak and cold, the evil of wind and cold is committed in the skin, in the lungs, and in the throat, then it can be expressed as wind cold throat paralysis.

Onset is acute, with dryness, burning, pain, and odyphagia in the pharynx at first. The sore throat when swallowing saliva is worse than eating, and the systemic symptoms are generally mild, but the course varies depending on age, immunity, and virulence of viruses and bacteria, and there may be fever, headache, loss of appetite, and aching limbs.

When the uvula is swollen, the pain in swallowing is more pronounced, the speech is often nasal, and mucus accumulates in the laryngopharynx, which is easy to cause coughing. Cough worsens as the infection spreads to the larynx, hoarseness occurs, and hearing loss occurs when inflammation spreads to the eustachian tube.

When Ye Chen examined Zhou Ning, he found that his voice was hoarse, there was phlegm in his throat, wheezing, nasal congestion, some abdominal distention, and no fever.

This should be because the temperature changed greatly last night, which made Zhou Ning weak and unadaptable, so that he was infected with throat paralysis.

This disease, for adults, may just be uncomfortable. However, for Zhou Ning, it is more than that, Zhou Ning is still young, he has only been born for more than five months, less than half a year, and besides, now he feels uncomfortable, so he has been crying.

As for the children's chaihu powder prepared by Aunt Fang, if it is a general small cold, it may be fine, but now Zhou Ning's situation is not possible, and the effect of drinking it is not great.

When Ye Chen saw Zhou Ning crying, he saw his tongue, and now he also saw his fingerprints faint. As for the rest, there is no problem with nature.

After asking Gao Meilin to find him a blank piece of paper, Ye Chen asked Gao Meilin to hug Zhou Ning, and Ye Chen quickly wrote on the blank paper: "Zhou, 5 months old, hoarse and crying all day. ”

"Initial diagnosis: due to the change of seasons, the temperature of day and night changes greatly, hoarseness, phlegm in the throat, wheezing, nasal congestion, some abdominal distention, no fever, and some redness in the throat. Examination: two stools, pale red tongue, pale moss, pale fingerprints. ”

"He was diagnosed with laryngeal paralysis. Traditional Chinese medicine dialectic: This is caused by external wind-heat poison and evil, wind-heat steaming and clearing the way, then hoarseness, dry throat, wind-heat evil, lungs are not clear, then coughing, phlegm in the throat. Treatment: Clear heat and throat, promote lung and open voice. ”

"Prescription: 2 grams of shoot dry, 2 grams of ephedra, 2 grams of almonds, 3 grams of olives, 5 grams of white silkworm, 2 grams of bellflower, 3 grams of nepeta, 3 grams of peppermint, 3 grams of coria seeds, 5 grams of large fritillary, 2 grams of orange peel, 3 grams of licorice, 2 grams of radix radix, 6 grams of radix radix. 3 doses, decoction with water, 1 dose per day. ”

Ye Chen hurriedly finished writing, found that there was no other problem, stood up, naturally went out to buy medicine for Zhou Ning and came back, when he went out, Ah Wu and Ah Er followed, Ye Chen did not stop them, let them get into the car, Ye Chen came to a nearby pharmacy, bought medicine, and when he came back, passing by the roadside barbecue restaurant, Ye Chen bought a roasted sausage for the two puppies.

The fragrant sausage, when the two puppies ate it, they were naturally very happy, and when they finished eating a few bites and found that there was nothing greasy on their paws, let them get into the car, and Ye Chen drove back to Gao Meilin's villa.

After handing over the medicinal herbs to Aunt Fang and letting her decoct the medicine, she has now made a rich dinner, and the three of them have dinner together, and when they saw Zhou Ning drink the half bowl of medicinal soup, Ye Chen said goodbye to Gao Meilin.

"Haven't you finished your military training, so go back to school soon?" Gao Meilin asked strangely.

"Today is the end of military training, but tomorrow morning there will be a class meeting, and I may have to go to Nanjing to see a big man at that time. Seeing that Ye Chen was so busy, Gao Meilin naturally didn't say anything more.

Now, Ye Chen said to the two of them, when they went outside, they naturally didn't let Ah Wu and Ah Er follow, and when they got into the car, Ye Chen did not go back in the direction of the Eastern University City, but went in the direction of the Han family's medicinal herb shop.

It has been nearly a month since he had just returned to Shanghai to see that Second Master Han, so Ye Chen naturally wanted to go over to see how he was doing?

Originally, Ye Chen could pass in a few more days, but he didn't know what the schedule would be when he arrived, so he stopped by while he was ready to go back to school now.

Ye Chen naturally remembered what he had said to Little Starling last time, and when he deliberately passed by a bird and insect pet store, he bought a lot of moving bread worms, and then went to Han's medicinal herb shop.

Ye Chen also didn't know if the Han's medicinal herb shop was closed, but he knew that if he went over and closed over there, he might have already rested, and he could only find time to come over at that time.
