Chapter 23 Facial Paralysis, Pediatrics
Acupuncture for the treatment of facial paralysis was certified by the International Medical Association in April 1976, and in ancient medical books, it can be traced back to the "Huangdi Neijing".
The principle of acupuncture to improve facial paralysis is mainly to reconcile yin and yang, strengthen the body and eliminate evil.
The child's condition is a bit serious, so he needs acupuncture first and then moxibustion.
"Facial paralysis caused by wind-heat has been delayed for a long time, but the treatment is not difficult, but it cannot be delayed any longer."
After checking his pulse and checking his tongue, he told Mr. Lu his judgment.
Facial paralysis is still a relatively common disease in hospitals. He had seen it a lot in his previous life, so this was a disease he was familiar with.
Moreover, electroacupuncture was used in previous lives. Applying electricity for 30 minutes stimulates muscle beating, which can speed up the patient's recovery time.
But now we don't have this condition, so we can only use the most basic acupuncture and moxibustion. But Fang Yan's technology is different from that in his previous life. He believes that he will not be worse than electro-acupuncture.
Mr. Lu stepped forward to make a diagnosis and came to the same conclusion as Fang Yan. He nodded and said to Fang Yan:
"How are you going to treat it?"
Dialect responded:
"First, acupuncture will relieve the symptoms. I plan to start with acupuncture points such as Yuyao, Yangbai, Taiyang, Jieche, Dicang, Kunlun, and Yingxiang."
After speaking, he paused and added:
"By the way, he has wind-heat syndrome, so add another Quchi point."
After hearing this, Mr. Lu nodded and then motioned for him to continue.
"After acupuncture, use moxa sticks for moxibustion. Just do it at the three acupoints of Sibai, Dicang and Jieche."
"After finishing it today, it will probably take a few more days to fully recover."
After Fang Yan finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Lu, waiting for his opinion.
Lu Donghua looked at the child for a few seconds and then said:
"Be careful not to acupuncture too deeply. Don't prick the temples first. Don't acupuncture too much in the acute stage."
"Okay." Fang Yan nodded.
After Lu Donghua finished speaking, he glanced at Jia Dapeng, who was standing aside and looking at the acupoint map, and said:
"Dapeng, go to the back hall and prepare for acupuncture and moxibustion."
"Oh, okay!" Jia Dapeng responded quickly. He didn't remember all the acupuncture points mentioned in dialect just now.
Now that Mr. Lu is urging him, he has no choice but to get busy. His job is to be an assistant.
When Jia Dapeng started to prepare, Mr. Lu said to the dialect:
"When you do acupuncture later, I will watch you administer the acupuncture. Jia Dapeng asked him to be responsible for the moxibustion."
When Fang Yan heard this, he didn't know why. Lu Donghua wanted to test his acupuncture skills, so he immediately nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Although I don’t know many secret acupuncture techniques, my basic skills are very solid. I can definitely gain qi by burning mountain fire and spreading the cold air.
It just so happens that I can show off my skills at Mr. Lu’s place.
After that, Fang Yan said to the child with a crooked face:
"Little brother, let's go, let's go to the back hall, your face will be healed soon."
Probably because the dialect was good-looking and the face didn't look like a bad guy, the child nodded and followed him into the back hall honestly.
At this time, Jia Dapeng had already made the bed and was preparing silver needles, disinfectant alcohol and sponges. Seeing him holding the tray, the child, who was fine at first, suddenly shivered. Obviously, this kid's tall and thick appearance can easily scare children.
After Fang Yan noticed it, he immediately said to the child:
"Uncle will come to give you the injection later. He is just a helper."
The child felt a little better after hearing this.
Knowing that Mr. Lu actually wanted Fang Yan to give the injection, Liu Zude felt a little unhappy, but he also wanted to see what kind of level Fang Yan was.
In the past, the store manager Wang Aiguo boasted about his amazing skills, but now I have to see it with my own eyes to know how much water Wang Aiguo mixed with his praise.
Today he has seen that there should be no problem with Fang Yan's consultation. Except that he is not as experienced as Mr. Lu, he has seen three out of three visits. The diagnosis is correct.
He stayed here today. He originally wanted to catch the mistakes in dialect and make some articles, but he didn't expect that this kid performed so well that he couldn't even find any trouble.
Now that it's time for acupuncture, Liu Zude thinks his opportunity has come again.
This kid told the kid that pricking his face with a needle wouldn't hurt.
Isn't this just a complete lie to a stupid boy? When the needle goes in later, the kid will definitely be in pain, rolling on the floor, crying and fussing. It will be up to you how to comfort him.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Unlike Liu Zude who wanted to see Fang Yan make a fool of himself, many people came to watch it because of the sentence just now that acupuncture will not hurt.
No one can guarantee that acupuncture will not hurt 100%. Adults can tolerate it and it will pass. But the other person is a child. Fang Yan also said just now that he plans to prick seven acupuncture points, and he must prick all seven acupoints accurately. It goes up without causing pain. This control of the needle can be said to be extraordinary.
On weekdays, when they watch Mr. Lu administering acupuncture, they will occasionally hear the patient gasping in pain. Now that Fang Yan is here, can he be so accurate with every injection?
Fang Yan didn't expect that he would take the injection. This time, people in the store were crowded, all looking like curious babies.
He quickly realized that everyone wanted to see the result of his injection. Children would not spoil him. If the injection really hurt, they would definitely jump and fuss.
It's okay if I didn't say that before, but if I can't do it after I say it, then I'm bragging.
According to later research, if you want to give acupuncture without pain, in addition to pricking the correct acupuncture point, you also need to instantly puncture the superficial layer of the skin. The pain in the superficial layer of the skin is the strongest, so the location and depth of acupuncture in Dialect must be considered. Both points must be extremely accurate, and the most important thing is that he wants the child to accept his treatment psychologically. Otherwise, even if he punctures it accurately, he will say it hurts, and if he makes a fuss, it will be troublesome for him to treat himself. .
Therefore, the child had to be given some psychological training, so Fang Yan planned to make up a lie first.
After letting the child lie on the bed, Jia Dapeng, under the guidance of Fang Yan, used alcohol cotton to disinfect and clean the areas where the child needed acupuncture.
Then Fang Yan took out the thinnest needles and displayed them in a dense row in front of the children.
The child became visibly nervous, and then he saw Fang Yan pick up one of the sticks and plunge it into his hand.
Then he held his hand in front of the child and showed it as if nothing had happened:
"Look, after the correct acupuncture point is inserted, I don't feel any pain. I only feel a little soreness and numbness. And you can see that there is a pink circle around the needle. Do you know what this is?"
< br>
The child looked carefully at Dialect's hand and found that there was indeed a faint pink circle around the needle.
This is actually a phenomenon of "Deqi", and Dialect was also discovered yesterday.
But he didn't explain it like this, but lied:
"This means that the needle has found the disease. It is the disease, not you, so you will not feel pain."
After hearing this, the child nodded thoughtfully, and then said:
"Then you should prick the disease on my face quickly!"
