I can hear the voice of Chinese medicine

Chapter 243 All diseases can cause danger, but throat disease alone is the most dangerous among dangers.
Lu Xuan returned to Yongcheng.

For the patients in Anjiang, it was no less than a bolt from the blue.

Especially those patients who have not yet received medical treatment, when they learned the news, they regretted not knowing the news earlier, regretting not coming to Hui'an Pharmacy for treatment earlier.

As for those patients who had already sought treatment from Lu Xuan, they were a little worried about gains and losses.

They are worried that their illness will not be cured after taking medicine for a week. By then, they can't go to Yongcheng to see it, right?

Unrealistic.

Although everyone joined the group before leaving, and they could consult in the group, there are some things that the patients themselves cannot explain clearly, and the words are not pleasant.

You can also take pictures of the tongue coating, but it is difficult to take photos that can be seen by the human eye under natural light. There are often some discrepancies between the photos and the real situation.

Some of your own symptoms can be expressed orally.

However, this method also has many unnoticeable points.

For example, I can't tell the reason for my face, but an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner may be able to tell what's going on at a glance, especially judging from what Lu Xuan showed during the free clinic at Hui'an Pharmacy, even if the patient doesn't say anything. , he can also diagnose many diseases through inspection.

These are actually not bad, and turning on a video can also solve the problem.

The most troublesome thing is pulse diagnosis.

In traditional Chinese medicine, pulse diagnosis is the most difficult and most important diagnostic technique. It is similar to the precision instruments of Western medicine. Without pulse diagnosis, it is difficult to achieve accurate syndrome differentiation.

If the syndrome differentiation is not accurate, there will naturally be no way to prescribe medicine.

No doctor will prescribe medicine to a patient during online diagnosis and treatment. It doesn’t matter if you are not prepared for syndrome differentiation. What you fear most is prescribing the wrong medicine and causing harm to the patient.

Patients all know this situation.

So after learning that Lu Xuan had returned to Yongcheng, everyone was sad when they heard it, and shed tears when they saw it.

There is no way, according to the current situation, unless you run to Yongcheng, you can only wait for Lu Xuan to return to Anjiang during the New Year.

But when I came back during the Chinese New Year, everyone was visiting relatives and pharmacies had to be closed. Even if I came back, it would be difficult to hold free clinics, let alone treat them.

After thinking about it, everyone focused on the other person.

Zhang Guangli, the director of the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine.

They all know that during the past few days of Lu Xuan's free clinic, Dean Zhang has always been there as an assistant, and every time he sees a patient, he will explain the patient's condition clearly, even among them. The medical science involved will be explained very thoroughly.

When everyone thinks about it, as the director of the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, Dr. Lu has taught them so much, so they have at least learned something. Even if their medical skills are not as good as Dr. Lu's, it won't be too difficult to treat them, right?

Suddenly, the online account of Zhang Guangli, director of the County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was snapped up, which Zhang Guangli himself did not expect.

Director Zhang, who originally only visited the clinic two days a week, suddenly scheduled himself for four days, and was there both morning and afternoon, which relieved some of the pressure of registration.

The popularity of Dean Zhang Guangli has also led to a sharp increase in the number of patients visiting the county traditional Chinese medicine hospital.

The heads of many departments found Zhang Guangli and explained the situation. When they learned that it was because of a young man in his 20s, everyone was shocked.

At the same time, I was also extremely happy.

This is a good thing.

Who would have thought that traditional Chinese medicine would rise in a small county like Anjiang.

However, if you think about it carefully, isn't the same situation at the county traditional Chinese medicine hospital where Mr. Li works?

At the thought of this, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

When a person's medical skills reach a certain level, he can really change too many things.

Lu Xuan's departure was a helpless thing for the people of Anjiang.

But for the patients in Yongcheng, they were ecstatic.

Dear Dr. Lu is back again.

Moreover, everyone has seen that in the building behind the Qiushi Street Health Center, preparations are in full swing, as well as the plaque naming Luxuan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, letting countless patients understand that their dear Dr. Lu In a while, he may be promoted to the director of Lu Xuan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Everyone was happy for Lu Xuan.

With Lu Xuan's medical skills, it would be a waste of money to stay in the health center. Everyone felt a little unworthy of Dr. Lu.

But now, that feeling is gone.

Lu Xuan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is not big, but I am still the director, which is enough to make up for a lot of things.

The first words spoken to every patient who walks into Lu Xuan's clinic are congratulations.

Lu Xuan didn't know how many times he had thanked him. Anyway, he hadn't stopped since the first day at work, and his whole body felt numb.

……

"Dr. Lu, I heard about your story. Congratulations!"

The child's mother came in with the child and said congratulations upon entering.

Lu Xuan responded politely, then looked at the child: "What's wrong with the child?"

"My tonsils are swollen to two or three degrees. It has always been like this. Go to the hospital. The hospital asked me to do an operation. I don't want to do it. My tonsils are useless. Although Western medicine says they are useless and they are always inflamed, I think, the human body There is not a single thing that is useless. If it were really useless, it would have disappeared long ago in thousands of years of evolution. Besides, that means it is useful, right?"

When the child's mother said this, she looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Doctor Lu, do you think so?"

Lu Xuan nodded noncommittally.

Of course it works.

In fact, every organ in the human body has its own role. Some organs may seem to have no role at ordinary times, and even cutting them off may seem like no big deal, but when they are really needed, their role will be revealed.

Otherwise, as the other party said, anything really useless would have been evolved long ago.

If it hasn't evolved, it means it's still useful.

It's just that this effect usually doesn't seem so obvious.

In fact, what we usually see are all the troubles it causes to the human body. This is the case with tonsils, for example.

Western medicine basically recommends surgical removal of tonsil enlargement, especially if it is third degree or above. In some countries, the tonsils are removed directly when the child is born to avoid tonsillitis in the future.

But once the tonsils are removed, the human body loses a natural barrier.

In the past, when there was a problem with the body, the tonsils would become inflamed, which would alert the body that something was wrong.

But with the tonsils gone, there is naturally no early warning in this regard. Perhaps the body can only feel it when it is severe.

As an important immune tissue in the human body, tonsils cannot be useless.

Those doctors who preach that tonsils are useless even perform surgery to remove them are somewhat irresponsible to patients.

"The throat is where the meridians meridians meet. It is very closely related to the internal organs. It is also an important gateway to defend against the invasion of external evils. Naturally, it cannot be removed easily, at least not as a last resort." Lu Xuan still highly approves of the child's mother. These words.

"Every disease in a person's body can lead to danger, but a disease of the throat alone is the most dangerous of dangers. Don't worry, you can die soon. Even if you are close to the door of a good doctor, it will be treated quickly, but it is still too late.

The throat is not only the door for the breath of food and drink to enter and exit, but also the gateway for evil spirits to enter. It is an important point in life activities.

If the throat is out of harmony, it will lead to various diseases and great harm.

Throat diseases have an acute onset and change quickly, so there is a saying of "watching the throat wind from a horse", and life and death are easy in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

The throat is closely related to the internal organs and meridians. The throat is not only the intersection of meridians, but also closely related to the internal organs.

Although the throat occupies a small area, it is located above the five internal organs and is connected to the internal organs. It is the gateway for the entrance and exit of food and drink, and the passage for the subtle transmission of acquired nutrients, so it is closely related to the internal organs.

Throat disease is often accompanied by symptoms of the internal organs, and lesions of the internal organs often cause throat diseases.

They are related to each other physiologically and influence each other pathologically. According to literature records and clinical experience, the throat is more closely related to the lungs, spleen, stomach, liver, and kidneys.

Except for the bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang, which is indirectly connected to the throat, all other meridians and meridians are connected to the throat.

The throat is the only way for "clear yang to exit the upper orifices" and occupies an important position in human physiology and pathology.

The throat is directly or indirectly related to the twelve meridians, the Ren and Chong meridians, the Yinwei meridians and the Yangqiao meridians. These meridians are in turn connected to the five internal organs. This disease location correlation between the throat and viscera and meridians will inevitably affect the pathological correlation between throat diseases and viscera and meridian diseases. "

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he took the child's pulse, looked at the tongue, and also took a look at the enlarged glands.

It is indeed two to three degrees, but it is not too serious, because it is not painful, and the impact on life is not as big as imagined.

Lu Xuan thought for a while and said, "In this case, I will prescribe some medicine for you. You can take it back and let the child take it for a week to see how it goes. Then come back next week."

"Thank you, Dr. Lu."

Lu Xuan smiled slightly, wrote the prescription and handed it to Ji Xiuwen for registration.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Qiushi Subdistrict Health Center has recruited two or three new people, all of whom are taking medicine at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmacy. Once Lu Xuan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is opened later, these people will be regarded as the first batch of medical staff of Lu Xuan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

As for other personnel, recruitment is still being stepped up.

After all, it is not an easy task to recruit people for such a small traditional Chinese medicine hospital.

The child's mother took the prescription and went to grab the medicine. As soon as she left, Ji Xiuwen asked curiously: "Is this disease difficult to treat?"

"It's not difficult to treat, but it's easy to relapse."

Lu Xuan said: "Modern TCM research and clinical data on tonsillitis are actually relatively rich. Clinically, TCM has reliable efficacy in treating acute tonsillitis, especially for patients with resistance to Western medicine. TCM is more effective than Western medicine.

However, due to the stubborn local pathology of chronic tonsillitis, not only western medicine is difficult to cure, but also traditional Chinese medicine is often difficult to cure.

And there are actually many types of tonsillitis. "

"How many?"

Ji Xiuwen asked curiously: "No matter how many there are, it's probably only three or four. There can't be as many as five or six, right?"

"Then you really guessed wrong."

Lu Xuan paused and then continued: "First, acute tonsillitis is mostly caused by exogenous wind-heat and evil poisons invading the throat, or caused by excessive wind-heat and evil attacking the throat;
It is also known that the spleen and stomach are insufficient, phlegm and dampness grow inward, and external factors cause phlegm to turbid and clot the throat. If the external evil is not treated, it can cause the evil to enter Shaoyang and Yangming, causing Shaoyang and Yangming syndrome, and the evil to invade the throat.
More severe cases will cause burning in the lungs and stomach, accumulation of phlegm and saliva, phlegm and toxins blocking the throat, stagnation of qi and blood, and even worse, the heat will lead to rotten flesh and suppuration.

If the evils of dampness and warmth are caused externally, it is easy for the evils to enter the spleen, stomach or Shaoyang, resulting in internal sleepiness due to dampness and heat, and the evils can block the throat. There are also those with insufficient physical constitution and subacute morbidity, mostly due to insufficient righteousness and choking of evil poisons.

Second, an acute attack of chronic tonsillitis often has internal dampness and heat or phlegm-dampness, which is caused by exogenous wind evil, exogenous warmth, excessive smoking and alcohol, inducing phlegm-dampness or phlegm-heat, and causing upper knots in the throat.

The symptoms at the initial stage of recurrence include wind-cold invasion and phlegm-heat blocking the throat, or wind-cold invasion and phlegm turbidity blocking the throat. If the superficial syndrome is not treated, internal heat will accumulate and evil may attack the throat. There are also female patients who experience acute relapse of chronic tonsillitis during menstruation, which may manifest as fire stagnation in the liver meridian and fumigation of the throat.

Third, chronic tonsillitis has symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Patients with mild symptoms are often not taken seriously, and it is often difficult to insist on taking medication, resulting in insufficient consolidation of the curative effect. Therefore, there are few clinical reports, but there are many syndrome types.

Of course, these three statements all come from Western medicine. What I want to talk about next are some records of traditional Chinese medicine in this regard.

In the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many types of tonsil inflammation, and there are even many more types than in Western medicine. The reason why there are more classifications does not mean that it is necessarily more scientific than Western medicine, but it must be easier to treat the symptoms.

The first type is the syndrome of wind and cold invasion and evil blocking the throat. This condition is more common in patients with insufficient lungs and spleen, and is known to have internal phlegm-heat or internal phlegm-dampness.

Symptoms include chills, fever, headache, and general malaise, accompanied by significant enlargement of the tonsils, white fur, and slippery pulse.

The treatment is suitable for dispersing wind and cold, resolving phlegm and soothing the throat. Liuwei decoction can be used, namely Platycodon, licorice, mint, Schizonepeta, Bombyx mori, and Fangfeng.

It may be appropriate to add pinellia, dandelion, fritillary and the like to resolve phlegm and dissipate phlegm; if tonsillar congestion is obvious, it should be combined with phlegm and heat to treat knots, and it may be appropriate to add Shegan, puffball or mountain bean root to detoxify and resolve phlegm.

Second, wind-heat invasion, evil attack of the throat syndrome. This situation is often the first onset of acute tonsillitis.

Symptoms include fever, slight aversion to cold, thirst, red tongue, thin coating, floating pulse, and pharyngeal congestion. The tonsillar enlargement is mostly I-II degree in non-suppurative patients and is more common in purulent patients. It is a degree II-III swelling, often with purulent pathological changes.

Treatment should be to dispel wind, clear away heat, detoxify and soothe the throat. You can use the Shufeng Qingre Decoction, that is, Schizonepeta, Fangfeng, Burdock, Licorice, Honeysuckle, Forsythia suspensa, Morus alba, red peony, Platycodon, trichosanthin, Scrophulariaceae, Fritillaria fritillary, Scutellaria baicalensis to add or subtract.

If the external evils are not cleared but the internal heat is severe, and the symptoms include constipation and tonsil suppuration, it is advisable to add products that purge fire, detoxify and soothe the throat, such as rhubarb, puffball, and mountain bean root. "

At this point, Lu Xuan took a drink from the water glass and was about to continue talking, but unexpectedly Ji Xiuwen became more anxious and asked: "What else?

Didn’t you say that there are many more categories of Chinese medicine than Western medicine? Are these only two types? "

"Don't worry, aren't you ready to say this?" Lu Xuan said angrily.
