"Febrile convulsions" in traditional Chinese medicine are "febrile convulsions" in Western medicine.
Mainly concentrated on children under 6 years old.
The attack is very frightening, giving parents the feeling that their child is about to die, and can easily cause parents to collapse.
Under normal circumstances, febrile convulsions have no sequelae. By the time parents collapse and rush to the hospital running red lights, most children's convulsions have long since stopped.
But there are some exceptions, such as those with repeated high fever and convulsions, or those with low fever and convulsions. The prognosis is often poor. In severe cases, it will affect the development of brain tissue in infants and young children, leading to a decline in intelligence in children.
It's the legendary "brain burnt out".
Decades later, medicine has become more developed, and transportation is convenient and people can be sent to the hospital in time. Therefore, there are fewer and fewer children with brain burns, and they are rare clinically.
But in 1960, high fever caused by various reasons was often one of the main causes of death of children.
If the high fever persists and the convulsions continue, the mortality rate will be frighteningly high. The simplest one, respiratory secretions or the tongue falling back can lead to death by suffocation.
No wonder the young couple knelt down and kowtowed while holding their son. They were really frightened.
In fact, from the perspective of Lin Sanqi, an intern, thermal shock is nothing to make a fuss about.
The treatment principle is actually simple, just three steps: sedatives, antipyretics, and antibacterial drugs.
Among them, sedation and antipyretic are the top priorities in emergency rescue. You must first stop the convulsions before you can proceed with treatment.
But how to stop the convulsions and prevent them from recurring, then you need to quickly lower your body temperature and reduce the stimulation of the cranial nerves. At this time, you need powerful antipyretics.
Although Mr. Shi and Mr. Xiao did not take action, did they have any secret recipe for quickly reducing fever? Lin Sanqi felt that they must have.
But the trouble with traditional Chinese medicine is that it is too slow. For example, you have to write the prescription by hand, grab the medicine, light the stove, decoct the medicine, and wait for it to cool down. This set of procedures can be completed in less than half an hour at the fastest.
But now this child has to be pumped every five or six minutes. After half an hour, his life may be in danger. Obviously, it is too late to use a set of treatment plans of traditional Chinese medicine.
Vice President Ji was a little surprised to see Lin Sanqi taking over the burden of treatment:
"Hey, Lao Shen, can Lin Sanqi be alright? Don't delay the child's condition?"
Dean Shen folded his arms and looked like a crowd eating melon:
"I don't think this kid will fight an unprepared battle. Just look at it. He either has a secret recipe at home or an advanced drug from abroad. Otherwise, even if I kill him, I won't dare to go on stage to reveal the results."
< br>
Vice President Ji nodded slightly, also wanting to see what Lin Sanqi was capable of.
Lin Sanqi pretended to take the child's pulse, rolled her eyelids, then pretended to think for a moment, then touched her chin and began to think.
In the confused eyes of the parents and onlookers, Lin Sanqi suddenly shouted: "I understand, there is a way!"
Pan Ye could dig a three-bedroom and two-living room with his toes on the ground. It was so embarrassing and the performance was very exaggerated.
Mr. Shi looked at Lin Sanqi with a smile and did not criticize him. Instead, he cooperated and said:
"Oh, what do you understand? Tell me?"
"Old man, the main reason for high fever convulsions is that when children have high fever, the metabolism of nerve cells increases, the oxygen consumption increases, and the nervous system is in an over-excited state.
However, the thalamus of children is not fully developed and cannot tolerate this kind of strong excitement. Therefore, when children have high fever, they will have tonic and clonic twitching of facial muscles and limbs, accompanied by upturned eyeballs or confusion. Unclear performance.
Do you think what I said is right? ”
If Lin Sanqi gave himself a score, he would definitely give it 99 points. He would be afraid of being proud if he scored more than one point, because he knew the chapter about thermal shock in the textbook by heart.
After hearing Lin Sanqi's explanation, the three old men's mouths twitched.
Mr. Han walked over and kicked Lin Sanqi on the butt, causing Lin Sanqi to fall to pieces and make the crowd burst into laughter.
Dean Shen covered his eyes with his hands:
"Ah, I can't see it, I can't see it. This guy comes from a family of Chinese medicine doctors, and his diploma is from a Chinese medicine college class. However, the medical terms he uses are all Western medicine. Isn't he a traitor to Chinese medicine?"< br>
Mr. Shi has a stable personality and did not show any dissatisfaction with Lin Sanqi's "fallacious theories". Instead, he asked lightly:
"Okay, now that you know the cause, how to treat it?"
Lin Sanqi climbed up from the mud and said seriously: "The next step is to reduce the fever and prevent the recurrence of convulsions. Look at me, it will be effective within half an hour."
After saying that, Lin Sanqi ran towards the dormitory.
Everyone was still surprised, thinking that if you want to boil medicine, you should go to the pharmacy, why did you end up in the dormitory?
"Hey, did Chief Lin run in the wrong direction?"
"I guess he has some pills hidden in the dormitory?"
"That's right, Chief Lin's family treats typhoid fever. He must have a secret recipe for reducing fever."
The parents of the children are a little at a loss, thinking that our children are already so sick, what are you still doing? Do you want to experiment on my children?
The child's father looked at Mr. Shi for help: "Doctor, this, this..."
Mr. Shi smiled and comforted:
"It's okay. Enter the gate of our Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and keep it safe so that nothing happens to your child. The little doctor just now is not simple. His father is the best doctor in the country for treating high fever. He is more professional than every doctor here. ." The young couple calmed down and felt relieved.
At all times and in all countries, young doctors are often not welcomed by patients. From the perspective of patients, youth is the "original sin".
At this time, if you have an older doctor to back you up and help you explain, the younger doctor will have more opportunities to get started and quickly accumulate experience.
Of course, if you, a young doctor, meet a selfish and indifferent senior, then be happy for yourself. As long as you are a human being, you will have both good and bad points.
Lin Sanqi came back quickly, trotting and carefully holding a bowl in front of the child:
"Come on, drink this bowl of potion quickly."
The mother of the child was a little surprised when she held the small bowl: "This, isn't this a bowl of boiled water?"
Everyone looked over, and sure enough, they saw that the decoction in the bowl looked like boiled water, but it was slightly turbid.
Decoctions made from traditional Chinese medicine are often brown or black in color. In the famous scene on TV: "Dalang, come on, drink the medicine", the concoction is dark black.
Even if it is not a soup, the pills are still brown or black, not white, so in the Xianxia drama, the elixir props are all replaced by Malisin.
Now, Lin Sanqi went against common sense and brought out a bowl of "boiled water", many people started talking:
"What prescription did Chief Lin use?"
"When I got closer and smelled it, there was no smell at all. It was so strange."
"Even if it's the elixir you seek in the temple, there will still be incense ashes."
Lin Sanqi heard everyone's discussion and said mysteriously:
"Don't you know this? I used the ancestral secret recipe of our Lin family. One is called ibuprofen and the other is called amo. As for the effect of these two secret recipes, you will know after drinking the medicine." br>
Amofang?
Ibuprofen prescription?
No one suspected that Lin Sanqi was lying, including Dean Shen and the three old men. After all, Lin Sanqi had "family origins."
This young couple, you look at me, I see you are still a little hesitant, Lin Sanqi felt dissatisfied, thinking that I have taken out all the unique medicines in the world, so don't be ignorant.
Mr. Shi took the medicine bowl, smelled it, dipped his finger in it to taste, and then he had more questions in his mind.
"Strange, I can't identify what medicinal materials are used in it!"
As mentioned before, for medical experts, they can basically guess the ingredients of decoctions or pills just by tasting them.
But this time Mr. Shi just couldn't guess what the ibuprofen and amofen prescriptions were?
Mr. Xiao Longyou was also surprised, thinking that even if he couldn't guess them all, it wouldn't be difficult to guess how many herbs came out, right? Will Shi Jinmo also overturn?
So Mr. Xiao also dipped in the soup and tasted it carefully. Then his face turned red because he couldn't guess what ingredients were used in it.
The only thing that is certain is that this is not a bowl of plain water, there is indeed medicine in it.
Seeing that everyone was still doubtful, Dean Shen knew that he had to stand up and vouch for Lin Sanqi:
"Comrade parents, please feel free to take the medicine. I am Shen Guoming, the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. I can guarantee Dr. Xiaolin that there will definitely be no problem."
Feeling their son burning hot in their arms, the young couple gritted their teeth and began to administer the medicine.
Although the child had stopped twitching, he looked very irritable. He could not feed the soup with a spoon and all the medicine slipped from his mouth.
The child's mother was also anxious. She picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp, then gave her son the medicine mouth to mouth, which made the people around him sigh.
Lin Sanqi was also a little moved, thinking how pitiful the parents in the world are. I wonder if this child will remember his mother's kindness when he grows up.
"Doctor, the medicine has been given. When will my son's fever be relieved?"
Lin Sanqi looked at her Shanghai brand watch and said with certainty: "Wait 10 minutes, the medicine will start to take effect, and the fever will quickly subside in about half an hour."
Dean Shen chuckled: "Boy, are you so sure?"
"Very sure!"
Everyone was waiting quietly, even Mr. Han was holding acupuncture to prevent the child from convulsing again.
After 10 minutes, the child began to sweat all over his body...
In 20 minutes, the child's clothes and pants were all soaked...
After 30 minutes, the nurse took the temperature and it was 37.1℃...
Wow! ! !
There was a burst of exclamations around, and everyone looked at Lin Sanqi in surprise.
Even Dean Shen and the three old men were surprised. To be honest, even if Mr. Shi came, he could not guarantee that the fever would be gone within half an hour. (End of chapter)
