Chapter 508: Excitement Period
When Ye Chen looked at him carefully, he had already seen his situation, and he had also remembered the middle-aged man in front of him, where had he seen it.
It was at that pet store that Ye Chen remembered that he and Gao Meilin went to buy the Persian cat, but he didn't expect that the middle-aged man and the bewitching young woman also wanted to buy the Persian cat.
The last time Ye Chen saw him, the basic symptoms of rabies had already come out, but it was not so obvious that ordinary people couldn't see it. Now his symptoms can only be guessed if someone sees them.
According to the stage of rabies attack, it is divided into three stages, the early stage belongs to the prodromal phase or invasion stage, before the appearance of excitement, most patients have low-grade fever, loss of appetite, nausea, headache, fatigue, malaise, etc., similar to a "cold".
This is followed by fear and restlessness, sensitivity to sound, light, wind, pain, etc., and a feeling of tightness in the throat. The more diagnostic early symptoms are paresthesia in and around the wound, numbness, itching, pain and ant walking sensation, which are caused by the stimulation of neurons during the reproduction of the virus, which lasts for 2~4 days.
Then in the middle stage of rabies attack, called the excitatory phase, the patient gradually enters a state of high excitement, which is highlighted as extreme phobia, hydrophobia, fear of wind, episodic pharyngeal muscle spasm, dyspnea, difficulty urinating and defecating, and excessive sweating and salivation.
Finally, in the late stage, called the paralysis phase, the spasticity stops and the patient gradually quiets down, but flaccid paralysis occurs, especially limb paralysis.
Eye muscles, facial muscles, and masticatory muscles can also be affected, and the symptoms are strabismus, eye movement disorders, jaw dropping, mouth inability to close, and lack of facial expression.
If the patient is not cured of rabies during the paralysis period, it will not take long for him to die. During these three periods, the short period is a maximum of six to ten days, which means that the patient will die almost ten days after being bitten by a mad dog and infected with the rabies virus.
The longest time belongs to the more fortunate kind, even if you are infected with the rabies virus, because the incubation period of the virus is relatively long, the onset time is not so fast, and it may take several years to appear.
Obviously, the situation of the middle-aged man Wu Hongwen in front of him is the lucky one. Now I see that his symptoms obviously belong to the middle of the rabies attack during the euphoria period, and he looks different from normal people. However, he still recognized Ye Chen, and as for the rest, he was already similar to those patients who were seriously ill.
Ye Chen had just entered the inside, and hurriedly asked the nurse to close the doors and windows, so that the outside sunlight could not shine in, let alone turn on the lights, when there was no wind blowing in from outside, and he was not illuminated by the sun, let alone touched by the water, Wu Hongwen's situation, which had always seemed to be cringe, seemed better.
Western medicine believes that 100% of patients who suffer from rabies will die. Therefore, in this case, only in the case of being bitten by a dog, the epidemic will not occur immediately. However, now Wu Hongwen's situation is obviously hopeless in the eyes of Western medicine doctors.
"I already told you last time that I asked you to come to Dean Liao immediately, why did you only come here now?" Ye Chen asked strangely.
"Doctor Ye, I was really checked by the hospital, and the examination found that it was indeed rabies, but after the doctor gave me an anti-epidemic injection, there were no more rabies symptoms, I thought it was better, but I didn't expect that it has not been a month now, and I found that the situation has not improved, and now when I got up, I hurriedly asked my wife and daughter to send it here. ”
When Ye Chen heard Wu Hongwen's words, he understood it. At the beginning, in the pet store, Ye Chen also inadvertently discovered his condition, and asked him to go to the hospital for an examination, which naturally reassured him, and confirmed his symptoms before treatment.
He was fine, he went to check it himself, and found that he really had rabies. However, in that case, he just went to get vaccinated, and it was obvious that he was superstitious about it.
Many times, when you are bitten by a dog, at the beginning, it is indeed beneficial to get an epidemic prevention shot, and it has a great effect. However, Wu Hongwen's situation is obviously different from the situation of other people who have been bitten by dogs.
If it is someone else, who has just been bitten by a dog, to prevent rabies, it is certain that on the same day, even after being bitten by a dog, go for an epidemic vaccination. However, Wu Hongwen's situation has been going on for several years, he was bitten by a dog back then, and the rabies virus is only now in his body, and it is also useless to take those epidemic prevention injections.
Of course, the only treatment for Western medicine doctors, in this case, can only give him an anti-epidemic shot, or I don't know what will happen?
Ye Chen looked at Wu Hongwen's wife and daughter again, his wife was a middle-aged woman who looked average, and his daughter was also like that, she should be in her twenties.
What makes Ye Chen sigh now is that when Wu Hongwen used money in a romantic manner, the charming young woman accompanied him, but now that he is so sick, he is accompanied by his wife and daughter.
When Ye Chen looked at Wu Hongwen, Liao Wenen and Ding Gui were also watching there, just now they didn't know, what was Wu Hongwen's condition?
Because Wu Hongwen has this symptom, because the symptoms of tetanus and rabies attack are very similar, if ordinary people don't identify them carefully, they really can't recognize it, and now when Ye Chen and Wu Hongwen say it, Liao Wenen naturally knows.
If it is at other times, when this situation is encountered, Liao Wenen also has a prescription for treating rabies, and as for the curing effect, it may only be 50%. However, now that Ye Chen is here, he naturally asked Ye Chen to save the other party.
"Ye Chen, you can treat him!" Liao Wenen said.
After Ye Chen nodded, he looked at Wu Hongwen and said, "Since you have found us now, it means that you are very worried about your own situation." So, if you want to cure your illness, the only way to do it is to listen to me. ”
When Wu Hongwen nodded desperately in the dark, Ye Chen began to check his tongue and pulse, and when he looked at the tongue, he had to hold a small flashlight.
After reading these again, Ye Chen already had a bottom in his heart. In the past, Ye Chen had not treated a patient with rabies, because he had not encountered it before. However, it has been read in TCM books, and there are also records of cases in this area.
Therefore, referring to the records of those Chinese medicine books, and according to Ye Chen's current dialectic, it is natural that he can prescribe medicine to him. Compared to the last time Jinshi was in the situation.
Jin Shi was infected with tetanus virus, and it was still very strict, and the doctors in that hospital felt that he was not saved, so Ye Chen prescribed the prescription and asked him to drink it according to the prescription, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Jin Shi to recover.
Compared with the anti-epidemic injection of Western medicine, in terms of efficacy, at the beginning, it may not be so obvious. However, unlike Western medicine, basically, when you have a rabies attack, you will die 100% of the time.
"Dr. Ye, how is my husband?" asked Wu Hongwen's wife.
"Madam, don't worry, since I am willing to treat him, it means that he will be saved!" Ye Chen said that sentence, naturally he was very confident.
Perhaps to others, he seems a little arrogant. However, since Ye Chen could treat patients, there have been more than hundreds of cases now.
Ye Chen has encountered seriously ill patients, relatively ordinary patients, or those patients with incurable diseases, who have also encountered them, and in the end, they were also 100% cured.
