"I didn't eat anything I shouldn't have."
“Bang! Bang!”
After pressing, Yun Heng tapped the swollen part of the child's abdomen, making a sound.
"What did the child eat yesterday? Not just yesterday, but what did the child eat in the past two days? Please tell me in detail."
After checking the child's abdomen, Yun Heng touched the child's hands and feet, and found that both feet were cold.
"Yesterday morning he had porridge and steamed buns, and at noon he had rice. He also had a lot of snacks during lunch. He wasn't allowed to eat before bed at night, and he secretly drank a large bottle of Nutri-Express."
Yang Shaoping explained in detail beside him.
"Doctor Yun, what happened to my grandson?"
The child's grandmother asked anxiously.
"Isn't Doctor Yun checking right now? Only after a thorough check can we know the situation."
Chen Yue, who was watching Yun Heng's examination, said to the child's grandmother.
Yun Heng didn't say anything. He grabbed the child's hand and checked the child's fingerprints. At the same time, he rubbed the child's index finger with his thumb, from top to bottom, all the way to the root.
This is exactly the fingerprint diagnosis method commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to examine children.
There is an old saying: Pediatric medicine is a different discipline, and you don’t know what the disease is.
Some children cannot speak, and some cannot express themselves clearly, so it is difficult for them to express their feelings. In addition, it is difficult to feel the pulse of very young children. Therefore, it was very common for ancient Chinese medicine practitioners to diagnose children's diseases by identifying the shape and color of the fingerprints on the index finger of the tiger's mouth.
The "Rhyme of Pediatric Diagnosis" goes like this: "There are three key points in a child's life: wind, qi, and fate. Their severity and danger must be determined separately. A bluish color indicates shock and white malnutrition, while purple streaks indicate fever and redness due to cold. Excessive mucus and rashes, accompanied by cold limbs, a chaotic pulse with steaming sensation, and difficulty eating. Don't examine a five-year-old; a pale yellow pulse indicates health and well-being."
While Yun Heng was checking, Yue Shaojiang was also watching carefully from the side. The fingerprints were purple and thick.
"Get me a tongue depressor."
After checking the fingerprints, Yun Heng said to the nurse next to him.
The nurse hurriedly brought over a tongue depressor.
Yun Heng took the tongue depressor, reached out to hold the child's head steady, inserted the tongue depressor into the child's mouth, pressed deep inside, and then took it out. The child subconsciously stuck out his tongue because of Yun Heng's stimulation, and Yun Heng could also clearly see the child's tongue coating.
The tongue coating is yellow and thick.
"Food accumulation turns into heat."
After checking the child's tongue coating, Yun Heng had basically made a judgment and asked, "How long has it been since the child had a bowel movement?"
"Two days."
"Well, it's definitely a case of Yangming bowel obstruction caused by food accumulation turning into heat, and the excessive heat burning the tendons and causing spasms."
Yun Heng nodded and said, "Prescribe a prescription. Dachengqi Decoction, add white peony root and kudzu root."
Guo Youtang hurried to the computer: "Hengheng, go ahead."
Yun Heng told the prescription, Guo Youtang quickly printed it out, stamped and signed it, and handed it to the nurse to get the medicine.
"Doctor Yun, you said the child has food accumulation and heat, or that the child has food poisoning?"
Yang Shaoping asked.
"To be precise, the cause of the disease is food poisoning."
Yun Heng said.
"Can bad food also cause seizures and convulsions in children?"
Yang Shaoping was a little confused. The child had just scared the whole family.
It is very common for children to have food poisoning. After all, children are young and have no restraint in eating. Adults sometimes cannot control themselves, so children may eat too much if they are not careful.
Therefore, most families with children always have children's digestive and stomach-strengthening tablets and snacks such as hawthorn on hand to prevent them from eating too much. However, this was the first time Yang Shaoping had seen such a serious case.
"Any serious illness can sometimes be caused by a minor problem."
Yue Shaojiang explained, "The child is suffering from food accumulation, which turns into heat and causes blocked internal organs. Blocked internal organs cause dryness and heat to burn the tendons, causing convulsions all over the body."
Yang Shaoping didn't understand what he heard.
Yun Heng further explained, "The child ate too much, and the food accumulated in his stomach, which is why he has abdominal pain, vomiting, bloating, constipation, and constipation. He has constipation and heat stagnation... His bowel movements are blocked, and his upper and lower organs are not flowing smoothly. His Yang Qi cannot reach down, which is why he has a fever and cold feet..."
Yun Heng stretched out his fingers and clenched them, saying, "It's like if we wrap something around our fingers, the blood flow in the front will be blocked, and it will feel cold to the touch. If a child has constipation, the Yang Qi can't reach down, so the feet will naturally be cold. At the same time, the Yang Qi can't reach down, and the heat in the upper part of the body can't dissipate due to the blockage, causing dryness and heat to burn the tendons and veins, just like when water boils, the surface starts to boil. This is the same reason why a child has convulsions."
"I understand. Thank you, Dr. Yun."
Yun Heng gave examples and explained things like this, and Yang Shaoping and his family understood everything clearly.
"Longlong, how's Longlong?"
Yun Heng had just finished explaining when there was another shouting sound outside. Following the shouting sound, a woman in her forties came in breathlessly.
