Acute laryngitis can be divided into four grades according to the severity of the condition.

The child is pale and gray, has fallen into a coma, the breath sounds on lung auscultation are almost absent, the heart rhythm is irregular, and the heart sounds are dull and weak—the most critical fourth-degree manifestation.

Even in the emergency room of the hospital, this severe case should be immediately incised to open the trachea and open the airway, and then the symptomatic hormone drugs plus nebulization treatment should be used.

But this is on a train, and it is not possible to cut the trachea.

To make matters worse, the train had just passed Golmud, the last city along the way, and after that there was a vast no-man's land.

There is no hospital in this vast and magnificent land that can provide medical support for children.

The trains into Tibet are equipped with oxygen supply devices. Under each seat, there is a tube that can be inserted to inhale oxygen.

The child was already wearing an oxygen mask, but it didn't do much.

His lips were noticeably cyanotic and in very poor condition.

"That's what happened." Yuan Xiangqian frowned and said: "This time we are just out of the house, and we didn't bring first-aid medicines - I have already asked Xie Baoshu to go to the cabin crew to broadcast and ask if any passengers have brought corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone." ”

"But when I called you, I mainly wanted to ask, is there a way to quickly relieve the symptoms on the side of Chinese medicine?"

When he spoke, the mother holding the child burst into tears uncontrollably, choked so much that she couldn't even speak, and a pair of bloodshot eyes fell straight on Tao Le's face, and her face was full of pleading.

Tao Le took the child's hand, quickly checked the pulse, and looked at the tongue again.

The child has a fever, a red tongue, and a floating pulse.

After doing all this, she opened the child's hand again and examined it carefully.

For children under the age of five, because the skin is thin and delicate, the veins are easy to be exposed, and the fingerprints are more obvious, so traditional Chinese medicine often combines the changes of fingerprints to assist in palpation.

The child's fingerprints are bluish-purple and penetrate the back of the nail.

redness of fingerprints, main coldness; If it is purple, it is the main fever.

The index finger is divided into three segments, also known as the three levels, which represent the severity of the disease.

From the tiger's mouth to the finger end, the first section is the wind pass, the second section is the air pass, and the third section is the life pass.

The tattoo is in the wind, indicating that the condition is mild; The tattoo reaches the qi gate, showing that the disease and evil have entered, and the condition is more serious; Tattoos enter the life pass, showing that the disease is deep, and the disease is aggravated; Tattooed on the fingertips, known as a penetrating ejaculate, indicates a critical condition.

Tao Le did not hesitate any longer, and directly chose Tiantu, Shaoshang, Shangyang, Inner Court, Qize, Hegu and Quchi Acupoint.

These acupoints are often used for the treatment of acute laryngitis, and the effect itself is not bad, but it is not as immediate as the golden finger.

The milli needle pierced the Tiantu acupoint, and the interface of the golden finger popped out:

"Please select a treatment plan:

A. Treatment of acute viral pharyngitis. Number of heals required: 4 times, each increase in health by 8 points.

B. Treatment of complications (third-degree laryngeal obstruction). Number of heals required: 2 times, each increase in health by 7 points.

C. Treatment of functional dyspepsia. Heal 5 times, increasing health by 3 points each time.

In addition to the acute throat edema caused by the viral infection, the child also had functional dyspepsia.

But that's not the main problem. The immediate need to address the breathing difficulties caused by laryngeal obstruction is, of course, urgent.

“B”。 Tao Le made the choice.

"Started treatment of complications (laryngeal obstruction of the third degree). Countdown to 2 minutes. 119 seconds, 118 seconds."

Next, Tao Le acupuncture the other acupoints in turn, and left the needles.

At this time, the voice of the radio sounded in the train: "Dear passengers, there is a critical patient on the train now, and hydrocortisone, prednisone, methylprednisolone, or other glucocorticoids are urgently needed."

Before the broadcast ended, the child suddenly took a long breath, and the obvious depression (referred to as the three retraction signs) in the suprasternal fossa, supraclavicular fossa, and intercostal space (referred to as the three retractions) disappeared visibly due to upper respiratory airway obstruction.

The child's mother had not yet reacted, but Yuan Xiangqian and Xie Baoshu could see it clearly.

"Great, the acupuncture has worked!" Xie Baoshu said happily.

Yuan Xiangqian's tense face also showed a smile: "Xiao Tao, well done!" ”

With their words, the mother of the child, as well as the attendants and passengers who were watching, also breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you, doctor." The mother found her voice at this time: "Thank you for saving Xiaobao, otherwise, I really don't know what to do!" ”

Tao Le was not as optimistic as they were.

"It's only alleviated the symptoms, but it can't cure the root cause for the time being." Her expression was very serious: "Moreover, the altitude is not high now, so it will be difficult to say for a while." ”

Tao Le's words immediately made the atmosphere that had just relaxed a little more solemn.

Yuan Xiangqian sighed. He is a person who has worked in the snow area, and how can he not understand how unfriendly high altitude is for acute laryngitis.

Hypoxemia caused by high altitude can aggravate the condition of patients with laryngitis, and it is easy to cause other acute complications.

The train is still moving forward in a hurry. In a few hours, you will reach the Kunlun Pass and enter the uninhabited area of Hoh Xil.

At that time, the altitude will stabilize at more than 4,600 meters. After that, the Tanggula Mountains will reach an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, and even normal people will have all kinds of discomforts, let alone children who have become sick.

Tao Le has already used the golden finger on this kid today, and now it seems that there is no skill to be done.

The prompt sound of the golden finger sounded in her ears at the right time: "The treatment is completed, and the patient's health value is increased by 8 points." Acupuncture increases health by an additional 3 points, for a total of 11 health points. ”

"In this treatment, a total of 8 pathogens were absorbed, and the equivalent value was converted into life energy. The current Life Source Energy balance is 110359 points. Do you want to give back to the patient? Yes/No. ”

Tao Le's heart moved. She also remembers that the reinfusion of life energy can also improve the health value of patients.

"Yes." She chosen.

"Please enter the number of vital energy points for the reinfusion patient: ____ points. (Note: The patient is a first-class organism, and every infusion of 5 points of life source energy can increase the lifespan by 1 year, and the maximum lifespan can be extended to 150 years.) ”

The child's health is now 30, and the interface has faded from purple to crimson.

Relying on a large balance of life source energy, Tao Le tried to enter 60 points.

[The reinfusion is successful. The current patient lives to 97 years. 】

Tao Le opened the golden finger to the child again.

The interface has turned a vibrant green.

Age: 3 years old, health value: 90.

Tao Le looked at it several times in amazement, but found no symptoms.

It was a very healthy child with no disease at all.

Before this, she also found in practice that after the infusion of life source energy, it would speed up the recovery from injuries.

Sometimes a condition that needs to be treated five times at first, often after three or two treatments, it will be cured without medicine.

It's just that before, the amount she lost back was not very much, and it was not as intuitive as it was in front of her.

A brand new door opened right in front of Tao Le's eyes.

It turns out that life source energy can still be used so simply and rudely.

Or are they indescribably magical energies?

Tao Le didn't have time to think about it, because the child was already awake.
