"Yes, I told you about the situation on Weibo."
The man nodded and asked his daughter to sit down beside him. He placed the bag on the examination table and said, "These are some tests I've done recently."
"Um."
Yun Heng nodded.
In order to avoid any interference from some Western medical diagnoses or treatments, Yun Heng usually examines the patient first and then refers to some Western medical examinations and treatments. So after the man put down the bag, Yun Heng did not rush to see him.
"Come on, put your arms up."
Yun Heng asked the little girl to put her arm up, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then began to take her pulse.
While feeling the pulse, Yun Heng was also observing the little girl. The little girl was quite pretty, with a not-too-obvious scar above her left eye and a drooping left eyelid, which made the originally pretty girl look a little disproportionate.
"Blink your eyes for me."
Yun Heng said to the little girl.
The little girl blinked. Her right eye was normal, but her left eyelid was obviously weak and could not be lifted.
"Come on, open your mouth, let me see your tongue."
Yun Heng felt the pulse for a while, then released the wrist and said to the little girl.
The little girl opened her mouth, and Yun Heng looked at her tongue coating, which was pale red with turbid white coating.
"The pulse is weak, and the tongue is pale red with a turbid white coating."
Yun Heng was typing on the computer, first recording the patient's symptoms and his own diagnosis.
Judging from the pulse and symptoms, the girl's palpebral atrophy should be caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and liver and kidney insufficiency.
"Blepharoptosis" is a term used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to describe a more severe condition called ptosis of the upper eyelid. Volume 2 of the "Compendium of the Eyes" states: "This condition...is characterized by both the upper and lower eyelids remaining closed day and night, unable to open. Even when opened, they cannot blink... Only by lifting the eyelids with the hand can vision be restored."
There are two types of blepharoplasty: congenital and acquired. Congenital blepharoplasty is usually the result of developmental failure and occurs bilaterally, that is, in both eyes.
Acquired forms are often caused by spleen deficiency, qi deficiency, blood vessels disharmony, and wind pathogens invading the eyelids, and often occur on one side. Its symptoms are weakness of the upper eyelid muscles, inability to open the eyelid fissure, and the need to raise the head and frown in order to see.
The little girl's symptom was caused by external trauma and is acquired, causing her left eyelid to be paralyzed.
Although he already had a rough judgment in his mind, Yun Heng still took the big bag beside him and took out the little girl's previous examination results to take a look.
As the little girl's father said, this condition was diagnosed by modern medicine as ocular myasthenia gravis. Many methods have been tried in the past year, but the results have not been ideal.
The examination results showed that the eye muscle fatigue test was positive.
The previous diagnosis was all based on Western medicine, which was of little help to Yun Heng. After a quick glance, Yun Heng put the information back and said to the man, "Judging from the pulse and symptoms, this is a case of spleen and stomach deficiency and liver and kidney insufficiency. I will prescribe a prescription to strengthen the spleen and nourish the liver and kidneys. Go back and take it for a while to see the effect."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Yun."
The man didn't quite understand and nodded perfunctorily.
During this period, Yun Heng gained some benefits from reading the two books given by Michelle Lin. Looking at the man's expression, Yun Heng roughly guessed that the other party did not quite believe it.
"This condition cannot be improved in a day or two. It requires a long-term process. You need to take this prescription for at least three months after you go back home."
The man hesitated a little.
If the prescription was for a week or ten days, he would accept it. But coming all the way here and getting a prescription for three months, even if it was Chinese medicine, would still cost a lot of money.
"If you have any concerns, please tell me."
Yun Heng said to the man with a smile.
"Doctor Yun, I'll tell you what I mean. Three months, honestly, isn't a long time. My daughter has been in this condition for over a year now. A child of her age still has to go to school and faces discrimination when she goes out. If it really can be cured, let alone three months, I'd be willing to wait for half a year or a year. But in the past year or so, we've seen a lot of doctors and taken a lot of medicine..."
The man didn't say the rest of the words, but Yun Heng could hear it.
Three months is not a long time if the condition can be cured or improved. But if there is no effect after three months, these three months of delay will be quite long.
"How about this, I'll prescribe a month's supply of medicine."
Yun Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Come back after a month of eating. There should be some improvement by then. If you don't feel any improvement, then there's no need to come."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The man pondered for a moment, then nodded.
If it takes a month, he would be willing to give it a try.
