Under, Chinese medicine flavin

Chapter 340 Pediatric Massage
The weak grass stubbornly broke through the wet soil on its head, accepting the first ray of sunlight breaking through the darkness.

The barren and vast grasslands have regained their vitality.

As the temperature warmed up in early spring, the construction team of Mengjiang Medical University began to renovate the old building of the city hospital.

In the Northeast, after winter, all construction sites will be shut down due to the weather.

In winter, even forklifts and excavators can't dig the land in the northeast, let alone decoration. The cement is frozen on the wall without waiting for tiles.

The resumption of work has to wait until the permafrost thaws in the second year and the temperature rises, which will be around April and May.

Building a house in May has also become a habit in the Northeast.

Therefore, the renovation of the old building of the city hospital is the only way for the School of Clinical Medicine to enroll students in the first year of its establishment.

The busyness of new buildings and old buildings makes the city hospital even busier.

Chen Jingshan has also been busy. For several months, he has been busy with the funds for the independent establishment of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The clinical medical school has already started construction, but there is still no news about Chen Jingshan's funds.

The city hospital sold the old building to Mengjiang Medical University and became the affiliated hospital of Mengjiang Medical University, which caused a sensation inside the hospital.

Because of the busyness of the hospital, it soon resumed the daily repetition.

Today is Huang Su's day in acupuncture and moxibustion.

Under the guidance of Huang Su, Qin Liang performed acupuncture in Baihui, Fengchi, Jingming, Dicang, and Jiache successively on a patient with facial paralysis.

There are three new doctors here, and Qin Liang has made the fastest progress, and he already has solid basic skills in acupuncture and moxibustion.

Under the supervision and guidance of Huang Su, he has dared to try to apply acupuncture on the vital points of the human body.

When Huang Su silently nodded in praise of Qin Liang's progress.

Following the knock on the door, Zhang Cheng pushed the door open and entered.

"Director! Teacher He, please go over there."

"What's the matter, did you meet a difficult patient?" Huang Su got up and asked.

"Director! A two-year-old patient came to our consulting room, and Mr. He couldn't handle it." Zhang Cheng explained.

"Let's go, I'll go with you to have a look!" Huang Su turned his head and told Qin Liang, "Wait for 10 minutes after the needle is retained, and you can start the needle normally."

"Director, I know!"

Qin Liang replied while observing the patient.

Walking out of the office, Huang Su asked, "What's the matter with the patient!"

Zhang Cheng explained: "Children have internal heat and food. Last time, Mr. He prescribed traditional Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and lowering the stomach, but the child is too young and afraid of suffering, so he doesn't drink traditional Chinese medicine soup at all. Come here for a follow-up visit today and ask Mr. He to think of a way." How can I take medicine."

Heat-clearing prescriptions, among the five flavors of Chinese medicine, are bitter medicines.

The bitter cold medicine is very difficult for many adults, let alone a two-year-old child.

This is a manifestation of a shortcoming of Chinese medicine that Chen Jingshan and Zhao Weizhong said.

Traditional Chinese medicine has a single route of administration, which brings inconvenience to critically ill patients and pediatric patients.

In the face of difficulties in administering drugs to children, traditional Chinese medicine can also use children's massage to treat common diseases.

Pediatric massage is also a complete subject in Chinese medicine, and it is a compulsory course in pediatrics of Chinese medicine.

He Hui is just an undergraduate student of Chinese medicine and does not understand pediatric massage.

In the face of pediatric patients who do not take medicine, He Hui can only feel powerless.

As an expert in internal medicine, gynecology, and pediatrics, Chen Jingshan is naturally very proficient in traditional Chinese medicine and pediatric massage.

As Chen Jingshan's disciple, Huang Su naturally got the mantle.

Walk into He Hui's consulting room.

"Director, look at this kid!"

"Director Huang, hello!"

When the child's parents saw that Huang Su had arrived, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces.

There is a well-known doctor who treats their children, and the two parents are still worried.

On the bed, a pink and cute little girl was sitting on it with her bare feet, and the doll in her hand was playing alone, not like a sick child.

He Hui very naturally moved a chair and placed it beside the bed.

Huang Su told Zhang Cheng: "Zhang Cheng, go outside and buy a box of prickly heat powder at the supermarket and come back."

Children's skin is relatively delicate. In order to prevent damage to the child's skin during massage, traditional Chinese medicine will apply talcum powder to the child for protection. If there is no talcum powder, prickly heat powder can be used instead.

"All right!"

After Zhang Cheng readily agreed, he quickly walked out of the consulting room.

Seeing that Huang Su was about to examine the child, the child's father asked worriedly: "Director Huang, our child can't drink the medicine prescribed by Dr. He, what should you do?"

"Parents, don't worry!"

Huang Su sat on the stool very patiently, gently took the child's soft left hand, put the index finger of his right hand under the child's index finger, and gently massaged the child's index finger with his thumb.

The child's mother saw that Huang Su was examining the child, and took the child's hand to the doll: "Jiajia, the mother of the doll will hold it for you first, and the doctor uncle will examine you."

Jiajia was taken away from the doll by her mother, she didn't cry or make trouble, she was still very well-behaved.

Not long after, red-purple fingerprints appeared on the position of the child's finger.

Huang Su showed the fingerprint on the child's index finger to the child's father: "Look at the reddish-purple fingerprint, it means that the child has internal heat, and the fingerprint has slightly crossed the wind barrier, indicating that the child's internal heat has gone inward and no longer expresses it." gone."

Huang Su pointed to the three horizontal lines on the child's finger, and explained what is the Fengguan, Qiguan, and Mingguan.

The child's father took a closer look and said, "It's true!"

"Come on, let's take a look at her tongue again."

Saying that, Huang Su stood up, gently holding the child's chubby and cute face with both hands.

"Jiajia, open your mouth and stick out your tongue!"

The child's father stood beside Huang Su and said together: "Open your mouth and stick out your tongue!"

Jiajia sticks out her tongue obediently.

If you meet a naughty and ignorant child, you will cry when you stick out your tongue. This is why pediatricians in Chinese and Western medicine must have a good temper.

Even such a well-behaved child as Jiajia only showed the tip of her tongue.

Little children don't know why they stick out their tongues, and they are not qualitative, and they can't maintain a movement for a long time.

Huang Su said patiently: "Open, open your mouth!"

The father beside him also said: "Ah! Open your mouth wide and stick out your tongue."

Said, Jiajia's father gestured to stick out his tongue.

Seeing her father's appearance, Jiajia sticks out her tongue similarly.

"Jiajia, you're so good!" Huang Su explained to the parents beside her after praising the child: "Look at the tip of her tongue is red, which means that her body has internal heat."

Just when Huang Su patiently explained the illness to the parents, Jia Jia took her tongue back.

This time without Huang Su's words, Jia Jia's father said again: "Jia Jia, stick out your tongue again."

When checking a child, although it is to check the child's body, the object of communication is the parent.

Therefore, it is necessary to patiently explain the child's condition to the parents in detail and let them understand.

Because, after the child is sick, the parents are always in an irritable mood, and the doctor must explain in detail to ease the parent's impatience, let him trust you and know how to cooperate with you.

Otherwise, if the cooperation of the parents cannot be obtained, and the patient is a child who does not know how to actively cooperate, there is no way to treat this disease.

TCM pediatricians must first learn to communicate patiently and know who they are communicating with.

Can't check it out, the doctor didn't say a word.

The doctor knew about the child's pathogenesis, but left the accompanying parents at a loss.

How can such parents, who are already impatient, cooperate with the doctor well.

Sure enough, when Jiajia heard what her father said, she stuck out her tongue again.

Huang Su pointed to Jiajia's tongue and continued to explain to the parents: "Look at the middle and back of the child's tongue coating is white and greasy, which means that the child has accumulated food and defecation. There are shallow tooth marks on both sides of the tongue, which means that the child's The spleen and stomach are a little weak."

Listening to Huang Su's detailed explanation, Jiajia's father and mother were looking at the child's tongue coating, and kept nodding.

Just when Jiajia withdrew her tongue and closed her mouth again, Jiajia's father and mother said together: "Ah, Jiajia, open your mouth again!"

Now there is no need for Huang Su to say, Jiajia's father and mother will take the initiative to cooperate.

This is the importance of communication between TCM Pediatrics and parents. With good communication, parents are not only the patient's family members, but also the doctor's assistant.

Huang Su looked at the base of the child's tongue and said: "It seems that you usually don't give the child antibiotics or hormone western medicine."

"When I was young, my dad took me to see Chinese medicine, so after Jiajia was born, I took her to see Chinese medicine if she had any illness. This child has never taken Western medicine since birth, and we also know the dangers of Western medicine. "

Jiajia's father asked in surprise: "Director Huang, how did your index finger know that the child has never taken western medicine?"

Huang Su explained: "It can be seen from the tongue that children who often take western medicine antibiotics and hormonal drugs will have a collapsed and atrophied tongue base, with a wide front and a narrow tongue base."

Huang Suyou gently opened the child's eyelids and said: "Look, normal eyelids are light red, and the child's eyelids are basically bloodless now, which means the child has not absorbed well!"

Huang Su pointed to the whites of Jiajia's outer corners and said, "Look at the whites of the child's eyes are bloodshot, and it is said that the lungs are hot, which is consistent with the expression of the tip of the tongue."

In Chinese medicine, the inner corners of the eyes reflect the heart, the outer corners of the eyes reflect the lungs, the pupils reflect the liver, the upper eyelids reflect the spleen, and the lower eyelids reflect the kidneys.

Why do many people with excessive overdrafts have blackened lower eyelids, which means kidney overdrafts.

Huang Su continued to ask: "Is the child coughing frequently recently?"

Jiajia's father said: "The cough is intermittent. When you cough, there is yellow phlegm. When you don't cough, there is no yellow phlegm."

Huang Su nodded and got up and explained: "The reason why the child has internal heat is caused by indigestion and food accumulation."

"Correct!"

The child's father said: "Our child often has food accumulation every other week or two. This time it lasted for a long time, so we came to see the doctor. Children dislike bitterness and refuse to drink."

Huang Su asked: "How do you know that the child is food accumulation!"

Jiajia's father replied: "Don't poop!"

Huang Su asked: "How many days does the child have a bowel movement?"

Jiajia's father said: "It used to be once every two days, but this time the food accumulation lasted for a very long time, and the stool was once every three days."

Huang Su said: "That's right. In traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs and the large intestine are on the outside and inside. If the stool is blocked, the heat in her body will go up. When the heat passes through the lungs, there will be a cough, and when the heat passes through the throat, it will cause a red, swollen and itchy throat. "

Jiajia's father said: "Director Huang, you are right. Our child often suffers from tonsil inflammation. We have seen both Chinese and Western medicine. No one can explain why. Western medicine prescribes many anti-inflammatory drugs. We know that Western medicine The hazards, and dare not give children to eat."

"The grandpa of the child often uses chrysanthemum and bamboo leaves to soak the child in water to drink. After drinking it, he will be fine for a while, but he will commit the crime again soon."

Huang Su asked: "When the tonsils are inflamed, will the child also have food accumulation?"

Jiajia's father pondered for a while and said, "It's true what you said. We didn't associate these two things together."

"All the pathogenesis of the child's body lies in the disharmony of spleen and stomach and indigestion."

Huang Su explained: "Indigestion will lead to food accumulation, and internal heat will appear after a long time of food accumulation. Throat, there will be tonsillitis."

"It seems that the throat is the weak point of your children. Some children have tonsil inflammation due to internal heat, and some children have frequent nosebleeds due to internal heat. Symptoms are different."

For children with internal heat, spring and winter are the peak periods of illness.

When spring comes, the weather suddenly gets warmer, which promotes the heat in the body, and coughing, food accumulation, tonsillitis, and nosebleeds often occur.

When winter comes, the weather suddenly turns cold, and once the cold air blows, the heat in the body cannot be dissipated, and the symptoms caused by internal heat will recur.

Jiajia's father asked, "How should the child be treated?"

Huang Su said: "If you want to cure your child's disease, you must regulate the spleen and stomach. The child's digestion is good, there will be no food accumulation, the body will not produce internal heat, and coughing, expectoration, constipation, and tonsil inflammation will not repeat."

Jiajia's father said happily: "After your explanation, I finally understand the cause and effect of the child's disease. How about you are a famous doctor in our Grassland City."

This is the difference between famous doctors, ordinary doctors, and quack doctors in Chinese medicine.

Famous doctors can accurately find the pathogenesis of patients based on their symptoms.

Ordinary doctors may be able to find the pathogenesis of all the symptoms of patients based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, but they can't figure out which one is the pathogenesis that causes all the symptoms.

Taking Jiajia as an example, ordinary doctors think that internal heat causes the pathogenesis of the child's illness, and it can be explained.

Internal heat causes stomach heat to accumulate food, causes heart fire to attack lungs, coughs, tonsils become inflamed, and causes internal heat to bet and block stool.

Even if the doctor knew that the child had a poor diet during the consultation process, and prescribed medicine to strengthen the spleen and stomach, and healed the real pathogenesis, it would be just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

Because his argumentation itself was wrong.

Therefore, for diseases that really demand a clear pathogenesis, the medicines prescribed by these doctors often appear to be effective when taken, and repeated if not taken.

As for quack doctors, needless to say, those who think of western medicine basically prescribe traditional Chinese medicine.

Now many famous doctors are, at best, just qualified general doctors.

And this will not change because your experience has increased, because your understanding has not reached.

Unlike Western medicine, as long as you have rich clinical experience and practice makes perfect, you can become a famous doctor.

This is why the famous doctors of western medicine are all in big hospitals, while there may be a master of Chinese medicine in a dilapidated small clinic in a small town.

So, who is the real empirical medicine?
