Chapter 18: Growing Up
Xi Zishuai's mother asked with a little hesitation: "What therapy"?
"Cupping, lancet therapy," Zhou replied.
Xi Zishuai's mother was embarrassed and said: "Cupping is okay, but even if you prick blood, it sounds weird and scary, and it hurts."
Zhou Yao smiled back: "Herpangina can cause pain in the child's throat, and even swallowing when drinking water will make people feel painful. The Shaoshang acupoint is the last acupoint of the lung meridian, and after the blood is pricked, the evil qi of wind and heat can be discharged from there, and the child's sore throat symptoms are significantly relieved."
Xi Zishuai's mother nodded, and Zhou Jin added: "Of course, you are the child's guardian, if you don't agree, we will give up this therapy."
"I agree, as long as it's good for the child, Dr. Zhou, you can do it," said Xizishuai's mother.
Zhou Jin nodded, Wu Ningxin hurriedly took the disinfectant gel, after Zhou Jin disinfected, the nurse handed over the cotton swab dipped in iodine wine, and Zhou Jin disinfected it at Shaoshang's acupoint.
Wu Ningxin took a disposable lancet, and Zhou Yao took it and quickly stabbed Shaoshang's acupoint.
Xi Zishuai's mother closed her eyes in distress, and Xi Zishuai began to cry, but she did not cry like the rest of the patients.
He just sobbed, but without making a sound, tears fell out of his eyes and hung on his face, which made it even more distressing.
"Baby, if it hurts, don't bear it, cry if you want to, it doesn't hurt to cry", Zhou Yao said to him distressedly.
Xi Zishuai's mother also hurriedly coaxed Xi Zishuai, and Wu Ningxin wiped the blood with a disinfectant cotton ball.
"When I grow up, I want to be a police uncle, and the police uncle is the bravest and can't cry," said Xi Zishuai.
Xi Zishuai's mother turned her head and wiped her tears, and Zhou Yao pinched his cheeks sadly and swallowed her sadness and tears.
These children were originally angels who came to fly freely in the world, but they broke their wings and were able to walk the world normally. Be a cop... Alas, ideals can only be dreams.
Therefore, you must work hard to study cerebral palsy diseases, cure cerebral palsy diseases, let children walk normally, and make dreams come true!
"The blood changes color", Zhou Yao stopped his sadness and instructed Wu Ningxin, and Wu Ningxin agreed. Zhou Jin said to the nurse: "He will have a fever again, you make rounds every half an hour."
The nurse promised, "Got it".
Zhou Jin said to Xi Zishuai's mother: "It takes a process from the appearance of symptoms to the recovery of the disease. There will be repeated fever in the middle, you don't worry, as long as the child is in good spirits, try to let him recover on his own, and give his immune system a chance to adjust itself."
Xi Zishuai's mother nodded, and Zhou Jin left the ward.
Shaoshang acupoint, on the radial side (i.e., outside) of the distal part of the thumb of the hand, 0.1 inch from the angle of the nail. It is recorded in "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng": "The main throat is swollen and sore".
In clinical practice, cold, fever, sore throat, or even swallowing water, food and saliva, etc., feel pain, you can prick this acupoint to bleed, which can significantly relieve the pain symptoms.
However, if the evil qi is too heavy, after a while, you will feel pain again, and you can cooperate with cupping, acupuncture and other therapies.
As soon as Zhou Jin arrived at the office, the doctor on duty said to Zhou Jin: "Team leader, Director Yao has accepted a child with comprehensive developmental backwardness."
"Where?"
"Evaluation Room".
Zhou Jin said: "I'll take a look, I'll write this medical record, you write the daily inpatient medical record."
"Okay".
As soon as Zhou Jin entered the assessment room, he saw a black girl lying on her stomach in her mother's arms. Normal children are lively and active, and will not lie on their mother's shoulders so quietly.
There are two types of such conditions: one is intellectual disability and insufficient knowledge of the world. Evaluate the room for colorful toys and objects of various shapes, which the child does not consciously touch. The other is weakness, the child lies on the mother's shoulder and cannot stand upright, which is weakness. So, I could only be soft in my mother's arms.
In this case, since the child is fully developmentally backward, it is both. There is both backwardness in intellectual development and low muscle strength.
"How old are you?"
Zhou Jin came closer, asked the child's mother, and reached out to touch the muscles on the back of the girl's hand.
The touch of the muscles was soft and sparse, and Zhou Yao sighed secretly. I'm afraid it's going to be another long recovery process!
"One year old," replied the child's mother.
"What will the child do now? such as turning over, sitting alone, etc.," Zhou Yao said, holding the child into his arms and feeling the child's performance in his arms.
Holding this child is like holding a ball of hair. Moreover, the child only cried quietly in his arms, but did not struggle at all.
The child's mother thought for a moment and said, "You can't sit alone, you can sit on the back for a while." Turning over can be done, it's just slow, the rest won't".
Zhou Yao nodded and gently put the child on the assessment bed, the child felt unsafe and cried hoarsely, but his voice was still low.
Zhou Yao put his hand on the soles of his feet and examined the lower limbs of the crying child, but met with slight resistance.
This shows that although the child's muscle strength is low, it is not hopeless.
Zhou Yao asked the child's mother again: "Does she occasionally make 'baba' or 'mama' sounds in normal times?"
"No, not once".
Although Zhou Jin guessed, she still asked the child's mother with a glimmer of hope.
After Zhou Yao completed all the examinations and confirmed the diagnosis of the child, he said to the child's mother: "This child's recovery is relatively slow, and it will take a long time to recover to the extent that he can stand and walk alone." As for the basic world, such as colors, shapes, hot and cold, and so on, it is even more difficult. ”
With tears in her eyes, the child's mother said, "Director Yao has already told me, I still want to ask, can the child go to school to read and write in the future?"
Zhou Jin sighed secretly: Parents all over the world are in the same mood, they all hope that their son will become a dragon. It is difficult to say whether this child will have a basic understanding of the world in the future, let alone reading and literacy?
However, Zhou Yao didn't want to hit the mother of the child, so she still gave her some hope, so she said: "It depends on a miracle."
The mother understands that this means that it is difficult, but there is always a glimmer of hope, what if a miracle happens?
"According to the child's current symptoms, arrange exercise therapy, occupational therapy, massage therapy, head acupuncture therapy, body acupuncture therapy and basic cognitive training for the child. After a while, after the child has adjusted, add swimming and spa therapy to her. These therapies are subject to change over the course of treatment."
The child's mother nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Dr. Zhou."
Zhou returned to the office to write the patient's medical records. As soon as a page was written, the nurse who was taking care of Xi Zishuai came to me in a hurry and said, "Doctor Zhou, Xi Zishuai has a fever again."
