In traditional Chinese medicine, the human skin is used as the boundary. The surface layer of the skin is called the surface, the area entering the internal organs is called the interior, and the area between the skin and the internal organs is called the semi-surface and semi-interior.

External evils enter from the outside and gradually move inside. When eliminating internal evils, the evil qi also gradually moves out from the inside.

The treatment methods are often different depending on the location of the evil qi, and Xiao Chaihu Decoction is a famous prescription for the situation where the evil qi is half superficial and half interior.

There is a rhyme saying: Xiao Chaihu Decoction has the function of harmonizing and resolving diseases, and is supplemented with Pinellia, ginseng and licorice, and is supplemented with Scutellaria, ginger and jujube. This prescription is the best for all Shaoyang diseases.

The child is now experiencing alternating hot and cold. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is actually a stage of alternating hot and cold, and a state of tension between the positive and negative forces. Therefore, Yun Heng judged that the child's current condition is that the negative force is still lingering in the Shaoyang meridian, which is half-exterior and half-interior.

"Xiao Chaihu Decoction?"

Guo Youtang is quite familiar with this prescription. It cannot be said that he understands this prescription, but he can only say that he is very familiar with the name of this prescription.

Xiao Chaihu Decoction is a famous prescription of Zhang Zhongjing. It is a very famous prescription in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and is also a prescription frequently used by Chinese medicine doctors.

"Um."

Yun Heng nodded. "The recipe I left for you was actually Lianqiao Mint Drink, but considering the child is so young, I modified the recipe a bit. I only used two herbs and added sugar to clear away heat and relieve symptoms, so it's easier for the child to drink. If this recipe doesn't work, using conventional antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs will indeed cause the current situation of tension between good and evil."

"Xiao Chaihu Decoction!"

Guo Youtang muttered to himself.

"Yun Heng, are you sure?"

Guo Youtang muttered twice and then confirmed with Yun Heng.

In Guo Youtang's heart, he actually looks down on traditional Chinese medicine.

To put it bluntly, there are nearly 100,000 Chinese medicine doctors employed nationwide, but at least half of them are not very good at treating patients.

No matter whether they are undergraduates, masters, or doctoral students, as long as they are full of theories and have a high degree or academic qualifications, they will be at a loss when they enter the clinic.

Guo Youtang is not denying traditional Chinese medicine, but it is really too difficult to get into the profession of traditional Chinese medicine. Looking around the country, the slightly good traditional Chinese medicine practitioners do not have a high level of education. Even some of those with a high level of education later had a record of following a teacher.

To a certain extent, the level of a Chinese medicine practitioner often depends on his teacher.

If a doctor can learn from a highly skilled old Chinese medicine practitioner, his or her level will often improve quickly. No matter how much theory and practice you learn in school, it is not as practical as training in clinical practice with a teacher.

In this respect, Chinese medicine is actually similar to Western medicine. If Western doctors want to make progress, they also need to follow a good teacher. Clinical medicine is all about clinical practice.

It’s just that there are really too few good Chinese medicine practitioners nowadays. Most medical students majoring in Chinese medicine have no one to teach them when they enter the hospital. The old doctors in the hospital are all mediocre. What can you learn from them?

In addition, Chinese medicine is more rigorous in clinical practice than Western medicine. Medical students of Western medicine have higher academic qualifications and more solid foundations. When they go to the clinic, they can at least treat minor illnesses without any problems because the procedures are all standardized.

The diagnosis is made according to the test results, and the prescription is prescribed according to the formula. It will be the same no matter who does it, but in traditional Chinese medicine, there are too many variables.

Western medicine is actually similar to mathematics and physics. The answer to the question is what it should be. As long as you get it right, the teacher will give you full marks. Traditional Chinese medicine is like an essay. No matter how well you write, it is hard to say whether you can get full marks.

Guo Youtang has worked in Jiaoping County Hospital for many years, and he knows the level of those in the county hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department very well.

Before, when Guo Youtang and Yun Heng were joking around, his tone always treated Yun Heng as a junior from the same village and he never thought of relying on Yun Heng for anything. One reason was because Yun Heng was young, and another reason was because Yun Heng was a Chinese medicine practitioner.

In Guo Youtang's opinion, these days, Chinese medicine treatment is all about luck. If you're lucky, like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and the disease is cured, it seems that the disease can be cured. But if it can't be cured...

If the disease cannot be cured, at least it cannot be made worse. Therefore, many Chinese medicine practitioners in hospitals are just slackers who just want to make a living.

Guo Youtang is very familiar with Xiao Chaihu Decoction. He is not very clear about its specific effects, but this medicine should not harm people, right?

"If my judgment is correct, it should be possible."

Yun Heng’s current level of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine has reached Level Four, which is no worse than that of some senior attending physicians in Grade A hospitals.

Moreover, Yun Heng's level was acquired through real practice. He saw patients in a community hospital and practiced in a simulated space. This was equivalent to building up his clinical level with a pile of patients. Therefore, Yun Heng was somewhat confident about Lin Fanfan's situation.

"Uncle Tang, are you still going to work tonight?"

Yun Heng thought for a moment and asked Guo Youtang.

"Yeah, that's right. I'm on night shift right now. I'll go back and pack up before leaving." Guo Youtang nodded.

"Then I'll go with you and see the patient in person so we can be more accurate." Yun Heng said.

"Okay."

Guo Youtang thought about it, then nodded.

Gao Baowen was dissatisfied because he was not told about the prescription that Yun Heng had left behind. So it should be okay if he took Yun Heng with him, right?

After returning home, Yun Heng gave instructions to Yun Tianxue and Zhou Yueting, changed his clothes, and Guo Youtang arrived at the door.

Guo Youtang works in the county hospital. In order to make it easier to go home, he bought a second-hand Jetta two years ago. Now the Jetta is parked in front of Yunheng's house.

Yun Heng went out, and Zhou Yueting followed him out.

"sister in law!"

Guo Youtang greeted Zhou Yueting.

"You Tang, Hengheng is following you to the county hospital now. How will she come back in the evening?" Zhou Yueting asked.
