Chapter 013: The bottom of the kettle is laxative and heat-dissipating
"And then?" Zhang Jing then asked.
"Then I continued to hang water in the hospital. What I didn't expect was that this time the time of the fever seemed to be advanced. The body temperature was normal in the evening and morning, and as soon as it began to be around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the child began to have a high fever, and was very thirsty and wanted to drink water, and his temper was also a little irritable. ”
"Mm-hmm, that's fine. Has your child not pooped in days? Don't have a good appetite either? Is the urine still yellow? Zhang Jing nodded slightly and asked.
The middle-aged woman was stunned: "How do you know this?" ”
"It's inferred from the pulse and the tongue." Zhang Jing smiled slightly.
The matter is urgent, and the consultation and personal inference at this moment are also a last resort.
However, there is an essential difference with the "miracle doctor" in the rivers and lakes, and he is an inference made through comprehensive syndrome differentiation analysis on the premise of combining pulse diagnosis, tongue diagnosis, visual diagnosis, and some consultations.
"Are you really good at healing?" The middle-aged woman's eyes widened suddenly.
Zhang Jing shook his head secretly in his heart: After making trouble for a long time, you still don't have any trust in me!
"Of course!" Zhang Jing said solemnly again.
"Then tell me, what's wrong with my child? It's just a common cold, and it's not an inflammation and cough in the lungs, why haven't you hung up the anti-inflammatory injections for so many days, and it's still not good? ”
"Eldest sister, your child did suffer from the wind and cold at the beginning, but now it is not a simple cold."
"Huh? What's that? Why does the high fever always not go away? Suddenly, the middle-aged woman looked a little nervous.
"Shhh...... Let's put it this way......" Zhang Jing paused and began to organize the language in his head.
After all, she can't just say that it is Yang Mingfu's empirical evidence, and she can't understand this at all!
"For example, if your child is in a pot with soup in it, and now it starts to heat up, will the soup slowly decrease? When the soup is completely dry, and continue to heat, will the whole bottom of the pot gradually become red and smoke? ”
The middle-aged woman nodded thoughtfully and muttered, "So, he wants to drink water as soon as it's hot?" ”
"That's right, if you give him an infusion, it's equivalent to adding some cold water to the soup. For a short time, the soup is not hot for the time being. However, the fire has not been extinguished, and after a while, will the soup still be burned dry? ”
"Well, it seems like yes, so what to do?" The middle-aged woman asked with a frown.
"The best way, of course, is to remove the firewood below, which is called the bottom of the kettle in Chinese medicine terminology. This treatment can also be used in layman's terms, called laxative heat relief. ”
Middle-aged women don't understand the idiom of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, but they can still understand the word laxative.
"Stomach discharge? No, doctor, my child doesn't eat badly and his stomach doesn't stink. He hasn't eaten much in the past few days, so it's normal that he doesn't have a bowel movement. Middle-aged women clearly disagree.
"Just because you don't eat much doesn't mean you don't have stool, but you should have stool. If you don't believe me, you can try touching your child's belly. Zhang Jing said firmly.
The middle-aged woman then reached out to touch the child's belly, and as a result, as soon as she touched it, the child cried "wow".
"What's up, Xiaobao?" The middle-aged woman asked nervously.
"Pain...... ...... pain," cried the little boy.
"Look, that's because the child's intestines are blocked with dry feces and he can't poop."
Zhang Jing paused for a moment, and then continued: "If the stool is not clear, the firewood cannot be removed." The fire will not be extinguished, and when the water is dry, the pot will be red again, which is equivalent to the child's body temperature will rise. ”
"Oh...... Oh...... Oh. This time, the middle-aged woman finally opened up a bit.
However, he quickly frowned again: "But the child is so young, do you want to drink Chinese medicine?" Chinese medicine is so bitter, I'm worried that he won't be able to drink it at all, usually, he has to be coaxed to drink a Western medicine. ”
When I was studying with Li Yu in the Chinese Medical Hall, there were many pediatric patients, and many of them were worried that their children would not be able to drink Chinese medicine.
Therefore, Li Yu often tries to take care of the taste when choosing medicines.
However, even so, Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine, and it is not as delicious as a drink.
It's just that Li Yu is a famous doctor at the national level, and everyone has absolute trust in his medical skills. Therefore, even if the taste of Chinese medicine is unpleasant and unpleasant, parents will definitely find ways to let their children drink it.
In contrast, Zhang Jing is different, although he has also learned some real skills. It's hard to see that no one else knows anything but himself!
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jing came up with a compromise solution.
In the Ming Tak Tong Chinese Medicine Pharmacy, there are some commonly used proprietary Chinese medicines for sale. As for the list of drugs, Zhang Jing has long been familiar with it.
In fact, sometimes, due to the constraints of conditions, it is inconvenient to take decoction of Chinese medicine, and the same effect can be achieved by choosing the right Chinese patent medicine.
"So, eldest sister, you don't have to drink boiled Chinese medicine. We have Chinese patent medicine here, take it with warm boiled water, the taste is similar to brown sugar water, so you should be able to drink it, right? ”
"That'...... Coaxing should be okay, but ...... Does brown sugar water reduce fever? The middle-aged woman was suspicious again.
"It's just that it tastes like brown sugar water, not really brown sugar water, but a traditional Chinese medicine ingredient that can relieve heat." Zhang Jing explained with a wry smile.
"Okay then." The middle-aged woman reluctantly nodded in agreement.
However, he added: "Isn't the medicine too expensive?" ”
"It's cheap, don't worry. You don't have to move when you sit, I'll go to the pharmacy to get it first, and if it doesn't work after taking it, I promise not to charge money. ”
Seeing that everything was said about this, the middle-aged woman finally dispelled the last trace of concern, and urged with a smile: "Doctor, then hurry up!" ”
Zhang Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and hurriedly walked out of the consultation room.
As soon as she approached the charging window for taking medicine, Gui Cui poked her head out and asked eagerly, "How is it, how is it, have you finished reading it?" ”
"Hmm." Zhang Jing nodded: "Help me get a box of rhubarb laxative granules." ”
"Huh?" Gui Cui's mouth opened wide in surprise, and she was puzzled: "Who eats?" ”
"Of course it's a sick child."
"But ......," Guicui still wanted to ask.
Zhang Jing immediately interrupted her: "I'll explain to you later, give it to me quickly, and the money will be on my account first." ”
Gui Cui didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately quickly found a box of rhubarb laxative granules and handed it to him with both hands.
Zhang Jing went to the water dispenser in the hall to pick up a small half cup of warm water, and then returned to the consultation room.
In front of the middle-aged woman, open the pill box and take out a bag.
After tearing the package, pour the rhubarb laxative granules into a glass of water and shake well.
"It's okay, you can feed the child. Within five minutes, the stool can be passed, and then the heat can go away. ”
The middle-aged woman wants to say, you are too big a cow.
However, seeing Zhang Jing's self-confidence, and the fact that he doesn't have to pay for medicine first, he doesn't look like he is fooling people at all.
Anyway, judging from the packaging box, the medicine is a regular Chinese patent medicine, and even if it has no effect, there should be no major side effects.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman picked up the paper cup first and took a sip.
Xindao: Hey, the doctor really didn't lie, it tastes sweet, quite like brown sugar water.
Next, I began to coax the child to drink medicine.
Since this medicine is indeed not difficult to drink, it is not even used to intimidate, and the child only changed a few breaths, and then drank half a cup of Chinese patent medicine.
"The kids are awesome!" Zhang Jing gave him a thumbs up and gave him a big thumbs up.
"Little friend, after a while, you will feel a little mouse running around in your belly, and it may hurt a little. But don't be afraid, just let your mother take you to pull the stink. Uncle Doctor assures you that you won't feel bad after pulling the stink. Got it? ”
"Know, the baby is not afraid, the baby is brave." The child nodded and responded in a childish voice.
Zhang Jing was amused by his cute words, and gently touched his little brain melon seeds to show encouragement.
After about two or three minutes, the child suddenly made an "oops".
The middle-aged woman was startled and asked what was wrong.
"Little mouse, the little mouse that the doctor uncle said is coming!"
