Chapter 1034: A Very Serious Illness
"When I arrived in Beijing, I inquired, and I didn't know which one to go to in so many hospitals in Beijing. Later, some people said that our hospital is good, although it is a private hospital, but the doctors are skilled and specialize in treating incurable diseases, so I brought my child here. The man continued.
Guo Xiang nodded and carefully looked at the various test reports attached to the child's medical record.
After looking at it for a while, he raised his head, "He should be EBV." ”
"What is EBV?" The man looked dazed.
"It's Epstein-Barr virus, V is virus." Guo Xiang saw that the man looked like that, and he really hadn't learned, "It's a kind of human herpes virus, mononucleosis." ”
The man was still at a loss, he had never heard of it, not to mention that he hadn't heard of it, and the doctors in the provincial hospital probably hadn't heard of it.
"Infection with this virus generally has symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, swollen lymph nodes, hepatosplenomegaly, and rash. Some may also present with neurological symptoms. The recovery period is long, usually two to four weeks. ”
"And there is no specific medicine for this disease, just prescribe the right medicine. However, this disease has self-healing properties, even if it is not treated, it can be cured in a month. Guo Xiang said.
However, the average parent is very anxious when he sees his child with a high fever, not to mention a month, but a day, where dare to let him burn for a month, and it is strange if he does not burn out.
"The reason why your child has had a fever for so long is because he has been injected with human albumin, which will cause the body temperature to rise and maintain a high fever. However, if you have this disease once, you will have antibodies, and you will not get it again in the future. ”
"Is that curable? Wait for himself? Or do you want to hang water? The man asked.
"There's no need to hang water, now there has been a little change, I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take back to the child to eat." Guo Xiang said, write a prescription.
As he wrote, he said: "This disease is usually transmitted through saliva, so you should practice good personal hygiene and do not spit. ”
The man's face flushed, how could there be such hygiene habits in the countryside.
"Also, don't feed mouth-to-mouth, especially some old ladies in the countryside like to chew rotten rice to feed their children, which is very unhygienic and easily infected, pay more attention!" Guo Xiang lowered his head and said.
"Hey!" The man hurriedly responded, he is a doctor, naturally he knows that this is unhygienic, but there are many people in the countryside and he is used to it, he didn't expect it to be so serious, his youngest son is now fed by his mother like this, it seems that he will let his mother not do this when he goes home.
"Can we go back to our hometown?" The man asked again.
Guo Xiang thought for a while, "It's better to wait for three days, it should be fine in three days, otherwise it won't be good to get sick again on the train after all the journey." ”
"Hmm!" The man nodded, then he stayed in a small hotel for three days, and he always had to look good before leaving.
After three days, the child's fever subsided, and the child, who had been burning for almost two months, finally recovered.
The man took the child to the follow-up examination, Guo Xiang checked it and smiled, "It should be fine, you can go home!" ”
"Thank you, thank you so much!" The man was grateful and admired.
The doctors in the capital are different, don't even check and look at the previous test sheets, and then see if you are really ashamed, where can you be called a doctor, it is better to go home and farm.
Seeing off the father and son, the phone on the table rang, and Guo Xiang picked up the phone.
"Dean Guo, I'm here in the hematology department, and there is a patient here who is a little special, can you come and have a look?" Dr. Zhao from the Department of Hematology said.
"Okay, I'll come right over!" Guo Xiang said and hung up the phone.
When I arrived at the hematology department, there were three people inside, in addition to Dr. Zhao, there were two people, a woman in her thirties and a woman in her fifties.
Dr. Zhao stood up and introduced to the patient, "This is the director of our hospital, she is a skilled doctor, you can tell her well." ”
The two looked at Guo Xiang in surprise, they didn't expect the dean to be so young.
Guo Xiang nodded to the two, "What's the situation?" ”
"That's right, Dean Guo, my mother somehow got a strange disease, touch it lightly, or accidentally scratch it, and the skin immediately becomes red and purple oozing blood, which is very scary."
"We saw it in our provincial hospital, and some doctors said it was purpura, and some said it was kidney disease and dialysis. But after taking a lot of medicine, the disease did not get better, and my mother's health was getting worse and worse, and she was about to collapse! The patient's daughter said.
"Is there anything else uncomfortable?" Guo Xiang took over the patient's previous medical records.
"It's just that I have a bad appetite, I always feel nauseous and want to vomit, my stomach hurts, I get tired easily, and I can't sleep well." The old woman said.
"And my mother has lost a lot of weight during this time, and her spirit is also very bad." Patient's daughter added.
Guo Xiang heard the old woman's speech a little slurred, looked at her, her face was not good, and there was obvious purple epilepsy on the skin around her eye sockets.
"Open your mouth and I'll see!" Guo Xiang said.
The old woman opened her mouth, and saw that her tongue was fat, white and thick, and her tongue was about to block the whole mouth.
Guo Xiang frowned, "Does your mother snore when she sleeps?" ”
"How do you know?" The patient's daughter was surprised.
"I suspect it's a disease, but I'm not sure yet." Guo Xiang said to Dr. Zhao, "But it's not purple madness, go to me!" ”
"Good!" Dr. Zhao nodded and gave the medical records to Guo Xiang.
"Come with me!" Guo Xiang said to the two.
The two of them were naturally willing to see Dean Guo personally help them see them, and she seemed to know what kind of disease should be worse than this Dr. Zhao.
The two followed Guo Xiang to her general outpatient clinic, "Sit down!" Guo Xiang pointed to the chair in front of him.
"It takes a lot of tests to confirm the diagnosis, blood draw, urine test, B ultrasound or CT, and there may be problems in all aspects of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys." Guo Xiang said.
"Huh? That...... Isn't it expensive? The patient's daughter was a little unhappy, she heard that private hospitals are very expensive to do tests, and if there are so many tests, how much will it cost.
"Because your mother is very sick." Guo Xiang said, looking at the old woman, "Do you have difficulty swallowing when eating?" Still feeling sick in your stomach and feeling like indigestion? Is there sometimes blood on toilet tissues? ”
The old woman nodded repeatedly, "yes, yes, how do you know?" ”
These details didn't even go into such detail about her daughter.
"Look at her tongue, it's so big, when she sleeps, her tongue falls back and blocks her airway, so she snores, she has difficulty breathing, you see, her lips and gums are thickened, it wasn't before, right?" Guo Xiang asked the patient's daughter.
She shook her head, she hadn't paid attention to it before, but it was true that her mother didn't snore.
"So to do so many tests, if I want to get a diagnosis, I have to do these tests." Guo Xiang said.
