Li Duanyang had another final exam on Monday. Before he returned to the clinic after taking the exam at school, he received a call from Zhang Dake, asking when he could return to the clinic.
"I'm rushing back, what's wrong?"
Li Duanyang asked after hearing Zhang Dake's urgent tone.
"A baby in our village was just 9 days old. The hospital gave up treatment after 8 days. He was about to die. He was brought to us. I can't bear it alone. Come back and see if there is any way to save it.
?" Zhang Dake said anxiously.
"What's going on with the child?" Li Duanyang asked while wearing a Bluetooth headset and speeding up the car.
"The labor process was too long during the birth, which caused the baby to suffocate a little. After the birth, the baby's body was hard and swollen. The hospital's pediatric treatment was ineffective for 8 days and the treatment was abandoned."
"Now I don't eat milk anymore, my diarrhea is green and sticky, I don't urinate, my whole body is bruised and swollen, my cry is weak, my breathing is almost gone, and my fingerprints are black and blue until my death!"
"Oh, I guess it's because I had a cold in my womb, and I got the cold after giving birth!"
"In this situation, the baby's life is good if he can be saved. If he can't be saved, there's nothing he can do about it. You drive slower! I'll give moxibustion to the belly button first."
After Zhang Dake finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Li Duanyang accelerated the speed again!
The situation of the child Zhang Dake mentioned is called neonatal cold injury syndrome in Western medicine, which is a serious disease unique to the neonatal period.
This disease is characterized by general or localized coolness, hardening of the skin or subcutaneous fat, and edema, so it is also called neonatal scleredema.
Some children are often accompanied by infectious diseases before or during the illness, such as sepsis, pneumonia, etc., so infection is also an important factor.
This disease often develops in newborns 2 to 3 days after birth.
In traditional Chinese medicine, this disease falls into the categories of fetal cold, cold syndrome, and five hard syndromes (referring to hard hands, hard feet, hard waist, hard flesh, and hard neck).
The main cause is that newborns are exposed to fetal cold in the mother's womb. After birth, the Yang Qi is not sufficient, and when the Yin Qi is not long, it is exposed to cold evil. The cold evil goes directly to the internal organs, damaging the Yang of the spleen and kidneys, so the Yang Qi becomes more intense.
It is caused by deficiency and decline, resulting in stagnation of cold evil, qi stagnation and blood stasis.
Hardness and swelling all over the body are caused by insufficient Yang Qi and stagnation of Qi and blood stasis throughout the body.
Alas, poor little fellow!
I hope I can save his life.
…
At this time, the villa clinic was in a hectic state. Even Zhou Siqing and Gao Xiaozhu were involved in rescuing the newborn boy, who was in critical condition. One of them was busy applying warm towels to the baby boy, and the other was busy helping Grandpa boil external medicine and prepare internal medicine.
The Huangfu Pian used must be boiled more than an hour in advance than other medicinal materials.
No matter how Li Duanyang decided to use the medicine when he came back, this Huangfu Pian would definitely be used, so Zhang Dake ordered the Huangfu Pian to be boiled in advance.
As for the grandma and young father who came with the baby boy in their arms, they were already so weak that they could not do anything to help them.
The little baby boy is very ugly, his face is wrinkled like a little old man, and his face is expressionless. He cries softly like a newborn kitten, his voice is weak, his curled up short limbs are cold, and his whole body is bruised, hard and swollen. It’s really frustrating.
It is difficult for ordinary young people to get close to him.
But he strangely grabbed hold of Zhou Siqing's heart, and even made her have an inexplicable association in her mind: If the baby boy can be saved, it means that she, Zhou Siqing, can finally defeat the disease and survive.
, if this little baby boy is not rescued in the end, then she, Zhou Siqing, may not be able to overcome the disease...
This is a very morbid association, just like the dying old man in O. Henry's novel who looked at the last leaf on the tree outside the window and had the same morbid mentality...
Zhou Siqing also knew that her association was pathological and illogical, but she couldn't help but think so...
Zhang Dake was moxibusting the baby boy's navel with a moxa stick, and at the same time freed up one hand to rub the baby boy's tiny limbs...
However, manpower was sometimes exhausted, and the little boy's condition continued to deteriorate...
Finally it seemed that it was the last moment. His neck was stiff and he was leaning back to breathe hard. It seemed that he could hardly breathe...
Zhou Siqing's heart suddenly clenched tightly, and her entire chest began to feel severe pain...
But at this moment, the sound of cars rang outside the hospital gate, and then stopped suddenly. Then, a figure strode into the consulting room!
"Get out of the way!"
Li Duanyang's gentle and firm voice rang in Zhou Siqing's ears. Then, Zhou Siqing saw his big hands touching the baby boy. Then, he leaned down and put his forehead on the baby boy's chest, as if he was feeling the baby boy.
of vitality.
On one side, his two hands didn't stop, seeming to be rubbing some acupuncture points on the little boy.
"Huang Fu Pian, two grams each of dried ginger and cinnamon, five grams each of red ginseng and poria, Polyporus polygonatum, Atractylodes macrocephala (soil-fried), three grams each of white peony root and Alisma, two grams of licorice! Lao Zhang, hurry up and prepare the medicine.
!”
After Li Duanyang put his forehead on the little boy's chest and abdomen for a moment, he said to Zhang Dake, while taking the moxa stick from Zhang Dake's hand, he continued to moxibustion the little boy's navel, while rubbing the baby's belly button with his other hand like Zhang Dake did.
The chest, abdomen and limbs of a little baby boy!
It's strange to say that the little boy's condition continued to deteriorate under Zhang Dake's moxibustion and massage, but under his moxibustion and massage, the baby boy's condition seemed to be slowly improving.
Getting better slowly!
This is an almost imperceptible change, but Zhou Siqing can sensitively sense the changes in the little baby boy at this time!
It's as if Li Duanyang has a kind of magic power in his hands, a kind of magic power that can save lives and heal the wounded, and it's like there is a life force in his hands that is constantly injecting into the little baby boy's body!
This really made Zhou Siqing feel incredible. She was fascinated when she saw Li Duanyang concentrating on rescuing the little boy.
…
Zhang Dake is preparing medicine urgently.
Li Duanyang prescribed Du Zhenwu Decoction, a modified formula of Sijunzi combined with Wuling Powder, which is intended to warm yang and diuresis, harmonize Yingwei, restore the function of the lungs, and at the same time warm yang and nourish the kidneys, replenish qi and strengthen the spleen.
The edema all over the baby boy's body can be resolved by warming Yang and diluting water, so that the skin's defenses can be reconciled and the lungs can relax normally.
(The baby boy had difficulty breathing previously because his lungs were about to lose their function.)
(The skin's defense function is closely related to the lung's function of descending. The lungs govern the fur. In turn, harmonizing the camp and defense can also save the lungs and restore the lung's function to normal.)
At the same time, it warms yang, nourishes qi and strengthens the spleen, so that the acquired foundation of spleen earth can start to run healthily.
At the same time, warming yang can of course also replenish kidney yang.
When the lungs, spleen and kidneys can function normally, other organs can also function normally.
In this way, the baby boy was saved.
This treatment plan was basically the same as the treatment plan that Zhang Dake had in mind, and the prescription only differed by two or three herbs, but he prepared the medicine according to Li Duanyang's prescription without thinking.
From this stage of getting along with Li Duanyang, he could not help but be completely convinced of Li Duanyang.
In his opinion, Li Duanyang looked like a young Chinese medicine doctor, but in terms of his sensitivity and decisiveness in treating patients, he really felt like he was an old Chinese medicine doctor!
