Chapter 243: Scared the Uncle!
Subsequently, Lin Yi and the others immediately called the police.
At the same time, Lin Yi arranged an emergency treatment plan for the little girl, but it was not a big problem!
Back in the consultation room, a middle-aged man in his fifties walked in.
"Doctor, my chest hurts terribly. It's been two days, and I've had almost a circle of small blisters, doctor, will I die? ”
Lin Yi was suddenly surprised!
He hasn't seen this disease yet, why does he say that he will die?
Seeing Lin Yi's surprise, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained in a panic: "The old man in the community said that I am a loinclothed snake, and if it is full of circles, I will die." ”
"Look at these little blisters on my chest, they're going to be full of circles in a moment, am I dying?"
Looking at the man's panicked expression, Lin Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
Where did you hear all this folk saying?
What loincloth snake grows in a circle, and the person hangs?
There is no scientific basis for this!
Lin Yi looked at the middle-aged man with a frightened expression and lifted his shirt.
"Come, I'll check it for you first, don't move to die or live, how can people die so easily!"
After listening to Lin Yi's words, the man's fear was reduced.
He took advantage of the situation and lifted his shirt completely.
"Doctor, give me a good examination, what is my disease? The old people in the community scared me to death! ”
As he spoke, the man stretched out his right hand and touched a row of small blisters on his back, and then said worriedly:
"Doctor, look at these little blisters, and they're growing fast, and they're half a circle now."
"Is this thing really going to grow all over me?"
Lin Yi looked at the small blister that the man said.
It's actually herpes.
It grows along the nerve line along the tenth intercostal space of the chest, and it is already more than half overgrown.
So Lin Yi carefully examined him and confirmed that this was shingles.
Herpes zoster is an acute infectious skin disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus.
Chickenpox occurs when children who are not immune to the virus are infected.
Some patients become carriers of the virus without developing symptoms.
Because the virus is neurophilic, after infection, it can latent in the neurons of the posterior roots of spinal nerves and ganglia for a long time.
When the immune system is low or tired, infected, or cold, the virus can grow and multiply again.
and move along the nerve fibers to the skin, causing the invaded nerve and skin, producing intense inflammation.
Herpes is generally unilateral and neurosegmental, consisting of clusters of herpes and pain.
The older you get, the worse your neuralgia becomes.
The disease is more common in adults and is usually more common over 50 years old.
The incidence increases significantly with age.
Herpes zoster is a folk saying that it is a loincloth.
Moreover, some old people will use false rumors to say that the waist snake is a fatal disease.
This middle-aged man also listened to the old man's words, so he felt that he was seriously ill.
Lin Yi put down the man's clothes and asked, "Did you have chest pain first, or did you find this rash first?" ”
The man thought for a while before saying, "It should have been the chest pain first, and I didn't care about it at first, thinking it was encountered while working." ”
"Unexpectedly, after a few days, a row of small blisters appeared in the painful area, and then the pain became worse and worse."
"Originally, I wanted to come to the hospital first, but who knew that when I was walking under the community, I talked to the old people in the community, and when they saw my situation, they said that it was a snake wrapped around the waist."
"He also said that if he was full of circles, he would die. They also told me what home remedies to treat, but I didn't believe what they said, so I came to our hospital. ”
After Lin Yi listened, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"You don't have to worry, your disease is called shingles. It is caused by a viral infection. Folk commonly known as the loincloth snake. ”
"But there is no saying that if the herpes grows all over the circle, people will die, these are all false rumors, don't believe it."
"You can rest assured that the disease is not life-threatening."
"Shingles is a self-limiting disease, you don't have to worry about it, it cures on its own."
"Of course, the older you get, the more painful it gets, and the more this herpes comes out."
As soon as he heard that it would not be life-threatening, the man's expression finally relaxed.
But then he asked:
"You say my blisters are coming out more and more, is this an infectious disease?"
Lin Yi shook his head at him and said:
"It's not an infectious disease, but it can be contagious, and when the blisters come out to a certain extent, they will no longer come out, and then they will slowly heal themselves."
"The most serious disease of this disease is neuralgia, and you can see that it generally grows along the nerves."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, the man immediately asked:
"Doctor, how should I treat this? I really can't stand the pain, it affects my work a little, and it's not good to rest at night. ”
Lin Yi took the man's medical card, and then prescribed him several medicines.
While knocking on the computer, he said: "You don't have any special medicine for this disease, I prescribed you gabapentin capsules, and then ibuprofen capsules." ”
"If the pain is severe, you can take ibuprofen appropriately to relieve the pain."
"If the pain is tolerated, try not to take painkillers."
"Don't eat spicy and irritating foods in the near future, don't drink alcohol, eat lightly, exercise properly, maintain immunity, and slowly get better."
Lin Yi finished prescribing the medicine and handed the medical card to the man.
And he admonished:
"But there is a sequelae of shingles, and even after some people have herpes cured, neuralgia will remain for a long time, and the longest time may be as long as half a year."
"Of course, most shingles go away when the pain goes away."
The man was surprised:
"Wouldn't it be that this pain lasts for half a year? Isn't that torturous? ”
林易 says:
"It's just that a small part will remain for so long, and most of them can be cured, I'm just letting you know, have a mental preparation, in case the shingles disappear, and there is pain, this is the sequelae."
"You can continue to take gabapentin capsules, it can reduce the pain."
After Lin Yi's detailed explanation, the man learned about the disease.
After thanking Lin Yi, he went to get the medicine.
In fact, diseases like shingles mainly occur in the elderly.
This is especially true for the elderly with primary diseases such as diabetes.
These patients have a weakened immune system, which is why they are susceptible to shingles.
Shingles is not scary, the most annoying thing is severe neuralgia.
Some elderly people can't even stand this neuralgia and have suicidal thoughts.
