Chapter 108 Traditional Chinese Medicine Treats Gout
Two days have passed since the dean's ward round on Monday, and today is another day for Huang Su to attend the clinic.

Just after sitting down, a young woman walked into the consultation room holding the hand of an eight or nine-year-old boy.

Huang Su was attracted by the little boy's outfit.

It was already April, and the child was still wearing heavy clothes, and the little boy's face was pale and slightly swollen, giving people the illusion of being white and fat.

A three-stripe sportswear is enough to prove the wealth of the family. At the beginning of the century, the three-stripes and hooks were definitely sports luxury goods.

"Doctor. My little Tao recently suffered from red, swollen and painful joints in his hands and feet. After going to the Friendship Hospital for an examination, he said that my child has gout." The young woman sat down with the little boy and began to introduce the condition, asking with disbelief on her face: "Doctor, how can my child get gout at such a young age, and he doesn't drink beer or eat seafood, so where does he get so much purine?"

"Patient's mother, please don't worry, I'll check the child first." After comforting the young woman, Huang Su said to the child: "Your hand hurts, little friend, let uncle check it."

Xiao Tao stretched out both small hands, Huang Su now held Xiao Tao's left hand in his hand and felt the coldness of the boy's little hand. Normally, children of this age are at the time when their blood is vigorous, and it is not easy to have cold palms. Case.

Huang Su touched the child's forearm upwards, and found that it was also cold, and then checked Xiao Tao's fingers, only to see slight redness and swelling in the joints of the middle finger and ring finger, and then checked the right hand, the two joints of the right middle finger and index finger. There is also slight redness and swelling in the joints.

Huang Su took off the child's shoes and socks again, and found that Xiaotao's big big toes were also slightly red and swollen, and the child's feet and calves were also cold when touching the child.

After examination, flavin can be diagnosed. The child really has gout. I didn't expect to meet a child with gout today.

After washing his hands, Huang Su sat back down and said, "Patient's mother, your child is indeed gout."

Little Tao's mother asked in disbelief: "My child is still so young, how could he get gout? Isn't gout only common to the elderly?"

Huang Su explained: "Gout is not just for the elderly. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is possible for people with liver and kidney yin deficiency, spleen and kidney yang deficiency, phlegm stagnation, rheumatism-heat arthralgia, and wind-cold-damp arthralgia. Suffering from gout, from your child’s cold hands and feet, and cold limbs, we can generally guess that your child may have gout caused by deficiency of spleen and kidney yang or wind-cold-damp arthralgia.”

In later generations, due to the cold diet, the population of gout patients is becoming younger, the prevalence of gout in children is soaring, and gout is no longer an exclusive disease of middle-aged and elderly people.

As soon as she heard that her son had kidney yang deficiency, Xiao Tao's mother immediately frowned and said, "Where did you come from the Mongolian doctor to talk nonsense here? My child is still so young, how could he have kidney yang deficiency."

"Parents, don't worry, kidney yang deficiency does not necessarily appear after maturity, as long as the body is deficient in yang." After Huang Su explained in a calm tone, he continued: "Is your son usually afraid of the cold? Cold, poor diet, nausea, pantothenic acid, loose stool, clear urine."

Hearing that Huang Su was right about her son's situation, the young woman calmed down instantly and said, "My son has had stomach problems since he was a child, and his stools are often loose. We went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was a disorder of the gastrointestinal system. , Prescribed a lot of medicines to balance stomach acid and treat diarrhea.”

Huang Su interjected and asked, "But as long as you stop taking the medicine, will you commit another crime soon?"

Seeing that Huang Su had guessed all about her son's condition, Xiao Tao's mother hurriedly nodded and asked: "Doctor, can my child's illness be cured?"

"Family, don't worry, I'll check your son's pulse first." Huang Su said to Xiaotao, "Extend your hand, uncle doctor will give you a pulse."

Xiao Tao stretched out his arm, Huang Su's three fingers closed tightly to rest on Xiao Tao's pulse, and Zhang Yuan took Xiao Tao's other hand to diagnose the pulse.

Huang Su pressed down with three fingers and touched the bone, and felt that the pulse was like a string of a piano, weak and weak, and the ulnar beating was weak.

Zhang Yuan put down the child's wrist and said: "The patient's pulse condition is deep and stringy, and the ulnar pulse is weak. This is due to deficiency of spleen and stomach yang, insufficient kidney qi, and cold dampness in the body."

Stringy pulse here is not liver and gallbladder disease, but pain syndrome.

Huang Su nodded in agreement, and said to the child, "Put out your tongue and let the doctor see the coating on your tongue."

Xiao Tao stretched out his tongue and saw that the tongue was fat and big, with tooth marks on the edge of the tongue, the tongue was very pale and very moist, the tongue coating was thin and white, and the base of the tongue was thick.Xiao Tao stretched out tightly for a short while, and a drop of water had gathered on the tip of his tongue, indicating that his body was very cold and damp.

Combined with the pulse condition and tongue condition, Xiaotao is a syndrome of spleen and stomach yang deficiency and wind-cold-damp arthralgia.

After asking Xiao Tao to put away his tongue, Huang Su asked, "When did the child have unformed stools?"

Xiao Tao's mother said: "It's been like this since birth. At first we thought it was a normal situation of breastfeeding. Later, I kept having diarrhea after eating. I went to many hospitals and prescribed a lot of medicine. Just take it. Stop and commit."

Huang Su continued to ask: "You have never consulted a Chinese medicine doctor."

Xiao Tao’s mother said: “Newspapers report every day that Chinese medicine is a pseudoscience, and various medical experts also say that Chinese medicine is unscientific. Nowadays, young people still see Chinese medicine. If it weren’t for the medicine for gout that has side effects on the stomach, our child has stomach problems since childhood. Well, we're not here to take our chances either."

Huang Su nodded without arguing, and continued to ask: "Did you eat a lot of cold food during pregnancy?"

Xiaotao's mother asked, "What is cold food?"

Huang Su explained: "Such as fruit, milk, ice cream and so on."

Xiaotao's mother suddenly realized: "I ate a lot of fruits during pregnancy. Isn't this a good living condition? My husband read in the newspaper that eating fruits can supplement various vitamins, and they often pile up I bought it at home, and I never stopped drinking fruit milk during pregnancy, and I had diarrhea for a while, and finally my mother boiled water with red dates and ginger for me to drink."

"Diarrhea is the manifestation of Xiajiaohan. You eat too much fruit and milk, which makes your kidney yang insufficient, resulting in insufficient congenital qi during fetal development. After birth, the natural kidney yang is insufficient. The congenital deficiency naturally cannot feed back the acquired qi, resulting in Deficiency of spleen and stomach yang. Insufficiency of kidney yang and deficiency of spleen and stomach yang will lead to cold limbs, chills, poor diet, nausea, pantothenic acid, loose stools, and clear urine."

"If the body is not adjusted in time now, when the body matures, it will appear refined, cold, and infertile."

Huang Su explained the pathogenesis of Xiaotao's symptoms to Xiaotao's mother in detail.

When Xiaotao's mother heard that her son might be infertile, she hurriedly asked, "Doctor, is there still time for my son to be treated?"

Huang Su can tell her child's symptoms without asking, Xiao Tao's mother has already believed in Huang Su.

"As long as you take the medicine according to the doctor's advice, the child's body can still be adjusted." Huang Su calmed the patient's emotions, and continued to ask: "Does the child have the habit of eating fruits and drinking milk?"

Xiaotao's mother said: "I eat it every day, a glass of milk every day, and the fruit at home has never stopped."

Huang Su continued: "Then you didn't find that the child's diarrhea became more serious after eating fruit and drinking milk?"

Xiaotao's mother said angrily: "We always thought that the child's gastrointestinal function was weak and we didn't take it seriously. Every time he had diarrhea, he would take some Xieliding or something."

"Starting today, don't give your child any fruit or milk. At the same time, you can't eat ice cream, iced drinks, or fried food anymore." Huang Su said while prescribing.

Huang Su considers that Xiaotao is congenitally deficient, and he must reuse aconite if he wants to raise his yang.

For the sake of safety, Huang Su was about to prescribe a Chinese patent medicine, so she said to Xiaotao's mother, "I will prescribe Fuzi Lizhong Pill and Aconitum Guizhi Pill for you. Take these two medicines together. Yang dispels cold, Wutou Guizhi Pill dispels wind and dispels cold, dehumidifies and dredges collaterals.”

Xiaotao's mother hurriedly asked, "Doctor, why didn't the medicine you prescribed treat gout?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine believes that gout is caused by cold, dampness, phlegm, and heat stasis, and your son's gout is caused by spleen and stomach yang deficiency and wind-cold-damp arthralgia. As long as you warm the yang to dispel cold, expel wind and dampness, activate blood and dredge collaterals, gout will be cured naturally, and at the same time It can also treat your son's symptoms of cold limbs, chills, poor diet, nausea, pantothenic acid, loose stools, and clear urine."

Huang Su took the prescription signed by Wang Xinlu, handed the prescription to Xiaotao's mother and explained.

According to the clinical results of traditional Chinese medicine, in recent years, children with gout are mostly caused by spleen and stomach yang deficiency and wind-cold-damp arthralgia, which is related to the change of eating habits today.

After seeing off Xiaotao's mother and son, Huang Su's one-day consultation began again.
