And this external application is not applied to other places.
Instead, apply it on your tongue.
In this way, the effect of the medicine will definitely be accelerated.
He Duankang's words made him bursting with inspiration.
yes!
Traditional Chinese medicine should not be limited to oral administration.
There are many methods of treatment in traditional Chinese medicine.
Take internally and externally plus massage for children.
If all three are taken together, there will be unexpected results.
And a recipe quickly emerged in his mind.
"Sichuan salt powder!"
This is a prescription put forward in "Yi Zong Jin Jian" for children's tongue.
Although Chen Nan is familiar with ancient Chinese medicine books, he lacks some understanding of how to use them flexibly!
The prescription of Sichuan Nitose Powder is simple, but the effect is rough!
Absolutely doable!
Especially for Wu Fan at this time, it can effectively and quickly reduce the size of the tongue.
Thinking of this, Chen Nan quickly started prescribing.
The recipe is very simple!
"Five points of saltpeter, two parts of true purple snow, and one part or more of salt into fine powder, mix it with bamboo juice and apply it on the tongue."
Both Nitrile and Zixue are easy to find and can be found in hospital pharmacies.
And fine salt can be found everywhere.
What is missing is bamboo drains!
but……
This is not a problem for Chen Nan.
I directly opened a box of fresh bamboo and drained it.
Different approaches but similar results.
He then called the pharmacy and asked for the medicine to be delivered immediately.
The fine salt department has it.
The nurse's station is simply the warehouse of the department, it has everything.
Forget about salt, you just want to find soy sauce and vinegar. Maybe the head nurse can help you find it.
This great housekeeper is not for nothing.
…
…
And this time!
In the director's office.
Yang Hongnian, Wu Xinke and Xiao Fenying were talking about Wu Fan's situation.
There was a knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Linyuan walked in.
"Sorry, Dean Wu, I just rushed here after the operation."
At this time, Xu Linyuan was still wearing a green shirt. He had not even had time to take off the slippers on his feet, and he still had shoe covers.
Apparently he just had surgery.
Wu Xinke stood up quickly and said, "Director Xu, please run over."
"The patient is my great-nephew."
"The situation is a bit urgent."
"No, please come up and take a look."
"The child was originally hospitalized in the pediatric department because he cried at night, but no problem was found."
"Later I was transferred to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
"Just now, I suddenly had convulsions, crying and fussing, and the situation was a bit anxious."
"The most important thing is that the child's tongue is swollen and filling up the mouth. We are all worried about whether it will block the respiratory tract."
"Let's go, let's go to the ward first and take a look before we talk."
While talking, Wu Xinke brought Xu Linyuan and others to the ward.
When Xu Linyuan came, he specially brought a tongue depressor.
"Children, come and open your mouth and let uncle see."
At this time, Wu Fan was in shock.
I just got out of crying and convulsing, and now I am a little weak.
Seeing Xu Linyuan coming with a "weapon" in his hand, he instinctively resisted.
"don't want……"
"Mom, I want that uncle just now..."
"He presses it very comfortably..."
Xu Linyuan smiled awkwardly.
The mother of the child quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, kid. Uncle is just looking at your tongue. Please be obedient, okay?"
The two sides struggled for a long time before Wu Fan finally opened his mouth.
When he opened it, Xu Linyuan's heart suddenly thumped.
This tongue is a bit too big!
It directly fills the mouth and exceeds the limit of the teeth.
This is already a red flag in dentistry.
It needs to be dealt with immediately!
Xu Linyuan pressed the tongue coating with a tongue depressor and could vaguely see the uvula.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
fine!
It will not block the respiratory tract.
However, the situation is no longer optimistic.
"Kid, does it hurt?"
"Uncle, press your tongue, do you feel it?"
Wu Fan shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
"It just...feels a bit...uncomfortable, a bit...hard."
At this time, the child's speech was obviously a bit tongue-tied.
After the inspection is completed.
Xu Linyuan and others left the ward, allowing Wu Fan to have a good rest.
Wu Zheng followed and walked out.
"Director Xu, is the child... serious?"
Wu Xinke also looked at Xu Linyuan curiously.
After Xu Linyuan hesitated for a while, he sighed.
"my suggestion is……"
"Change the subject!"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Hongnian's expression suddenly changed.
Transfer subjects?
What's a good transfer?
We, Xiao Chen, have all said that there is a way to treat it.
Wu Xinke also looked at Xu Linyuan curiously: "Transfer? What do you mean? Director Xu, is it quite serious?"
"The patient's condition is clinically called macroglossia.
The main cause is tongue enlargement caused by tongue tissue hyperplasia and edema.
There are many reasons for macroglossia.
For example, caused by hemangioma and lymphangioma, neurofibroma, hypothyroidism, angioedema, amyloidosis and others.”
"It's not difficult to diagnose!"
"But...if you want treatment, you still have to find out the cause as soon as possible."
"Some tests need to be completed, such as thyroid function, color ultrasound... etc."
"I think it's not serious if a child cries at night. When treating diseases, we should pay attention to priorities."
"The top priority now is the problem of the tongue. After all, with such a large tongue and the condition is unknown, if it really affects breathing, it will be serious!"
"After my tongue is cured, it won't have any impact if I cry at night in the Chinese Medicine Department for treatment? Right!"
This moment!
The scene fell silent instantly.
Xu Linyuan continued: "There is another possibility."
"Is it possible that the swollen tongue caused the child to suddenly suffocate after sleeping, causing him to cry and fuss."
"After all, crying after suffocation is helpful to improve breathing and circulation."
"Is it right?"
Obviously, this is a purely Western medicine diagnosis and speculation.
After Xiao Fenying and Wu Xinke listened, they only felt that it made sense.
But who do you listen to now?
At this time, Chen Nan happened to come out.
Wu Xinke quickly stopped Chen Nan: "Xiao Chen, come here."
"Let me introduce to you, this is the director of our dental department, Director Xu."
"Director Xu, let me introduce to you, this is Dr. Chen Nan from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine!"
"He was the one who used pediatric massage to stabilize the child just now."
Chen Nan took the initiative to greet: "Hello, Director Xu."
Xu Linyuan nodded: "Well, hello Dr. Chen."
Wu Xinke also had a headache.
What both doctors said makes sense.
But who do you listen to?
Wu Xinke decided to ask Chen Nan what he meant.
have to say.
Chen Nan's actions and remarks just now have been respected and recognized by everyone.
Wu Xinke said: "Just now, I asked Director Xu to look at the child's tongue."
"What he means is...this is a macrotonia caused by Western medicine, for many reasons."
"It could be angioedema, amyloidosis or something else..."
"What he means is that the most important thing for the child right now is to solve the problem of enlarged tongue and cry at night until the danger is relieved."
"what are you thinking?"
After Chen Nan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Perhaps this is one of the typical differences between Chinese and Western medicine?
Western medicine treats where the disease is.
Have a problem with your tongue?
good!
Just look for the problem on the tongue and treat it.
Have a problem with crying?
Okay, then let’s look at the crying problem. Is it neurological? Or is it caused by something else?
Cure crying!
But……
Is medicine really like this?
In other words, is the human body really like this?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is a whole.
To treat a disease, we must study the root and source.
To find the cause of the disease.
Then proceed to treatment.
A headache is more than just a cure.
If you have a big tongue, it’s not just about treating the tongue!
It’s about finding out why you have a headache and why your tongue is so big, and then starting a treatment plan from the overall perspective!
to be honest.
At this moment!
It has become a confrontation between the concepts and treatment plans of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
Chen Nan is confident in treating patients.
but……
He had no confidence in convincing these people in front of him.
Because I can't provide data to support it, I can't provide a theoretical basis recognized by Western medicine, let alone a so-called real-world paper.
what to do?
Are you giving in?
Chen Nan shook his head!
Damn it!
If you still give in if you have a system, you will blind the system in vain!
Thinking of this, Chen Nan said directly:
"I don't think I need to transfer to another department."
As soon as these words came out.
Suddenly the place became quiet.
Everyone looked at Chen Nan in unison.
Somewhat incredible!
When Yang Hongnian saw Chen Nan's expression, his heart suddenly thumped.
Grass!
This expression is so damn familiar.
This is what it looks like when you contradict me.
but……
Yang Hongnian looked at Chen Nan like this and suddenly felt a little admiration. This was a kind of envy from the bottom of his heart.
Because he didn't dare to do this.
Perhaps it should be said that he would not do that!
Yang Hongnian is in his forties, and he has a deep understanding of human nature and sophistication.
He would not do something as reckless as Chen Nan.
but!
But he was very envious of Chen Nan's character, such courage, and such a strong heart!
When you are alive, who doesn’t want to do whatever you want, and who wants to live an aggrieved life of begging?
If not, the price of doing whatever you want is too high, and who doesn’t have a burst of arrogance in their heart?
Yang Hongnian took a deep breath and looked at Chen Nan!
He wanted to tell Chen Nan.
Fight!
Dr. Chen, don’t be a coward!
This time, Yang Hongnian will stand behind Chen Nan, beating drums and waving flags to cheer him!
Who says that our Chinese medicine practitioners are not good at this?
When Xu Linyuan saw Chen Nan, he was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that this matter would be easier to solve, but...who would have thought that it would be like this?
"Oh? Doctor Chen, do you have any good ideas?"
"In other words, if the patient suddenly suffocates, do you have a suitable solution?"
Chen Nan said seriously: "Director Xu, the causes of Wu Fan's night cries and enlarged tongue are the same!"
"The main reason is that the heart meridian is hot."
"We, Chinese medicine practitioners, have targeted treatment plans."
"As for what you said, Big Tongue, I don't deny it."
"But... I would like to ask for a consultation. Do you have any good treatment methods?"
Xu Linyuan suddenly frowned.
Obviously, Chen Nan's theory of traditional Chinese medicine could not convince him.
However, what Chen Nan said next also gave Xu Linyuan a headache!
Macroglossia is easy to diagnose but difficult to treat!
Regardless of whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, treatment always follows the cause of the disease.
To treat macroglossia, it is necessary to clearly find the cause of macroglossia.
If the cause of the disease can be corrected, the macroglossia can disappear accordingly.
If the cause of the disease cannot be removed, it will be more difficult to recover from macroglossia.
Some macroglossia caused by hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, neurofibromas, etc. can be treated surgically.
