Chapter 347 The little girl is really good
After getting off the carriage, Song Yuntang followed Yupo into the mansion, walked around the screen wall, entered the backyard from the side corridor, and came to Qiu Shui Garden where Madam Li lived.
Madam Li suddenly fell ill, and her sons, daughters-in-law, and concubines gathered in the yard.
Everyone was either really worried or pretending to be worried, but kept silent.
Yupo led Song Yuntang to one of the men, who was about fifty years old, and bowed respectfully, "Sir, Doctor Song is here."
Song Yuntang then saluted the man.
"Greetings, Mr. Prefect."
Although it was the first time they met, the girl did not show any fear on her face, which made Li Hongzhuo look up to her.
"I wonder who your teacher is, young lady?"
Feeling the powerful aura of the man in front of him, Song Yuntang was a little scared, but he still said, "My master has been living in seclusion in the mountains for many years and does not want to reveal his identity to the outside world. I hope you will forgive me."
Li Hongzhuo nodded.
Those who are capable always have strange tempers, so it is normal that they don't want to be known.
"Go inside and take a look. If you can cure my wife's abdominal pain, you will be rewarded handsomely."
"yes."
Song Yuntang responded and followed Yupo into the house.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed.
At this moment, Madam Li was curled up in bed. Although it was already winter, her forehead was covered with sweat and she was trembling slightly with pain.
The face that was rosy yesterday is now pale.
There were two doctors nearby, who were discussing Madam Li's condition fiercely, their faces flushed with anger. She was given a painkilling decoction, but she vomited it out right after it went down her throat. Since she couldn't drink the medicine, the pain could not be relieved.
The key point is that although they took the patient's pulse, they were unable to determine the cause of the disease for the time being.
I don’t know whether this pain is in the liver, gallbladder, or stomach.
If the specific cause cannot be found and the right medicine cannot be prescribed, the pain will continue.
Seeing a maid leading a little girl in, the two men didn't know what the girl was here for, so they ignored her.
"Is this the first time you have this kind of abdominal pain?" Song Yuntang asked the maid.
Yupo shook her head. "It's not the first time. Although I had dull pain before, it was not as severe as today. I called a doctor afterwards, but he couldn't diagnose the cause. He just said it might be a stomach disease and asked Madam to be more careful about what she eats."
Song Yuntang stepped forward quickly and took Mrs. Li's pulse.
“Can it be accompanied by dry mouth, bitter taste in the mouth, nausea and vomiting?”
The two doctors who had already diagnosed Mrs. Li suddenly stopped arguing when they heard Song Yuntang's question. They looked at each other and then looked at Song Yuntang.
"We have already asked, and it is true."
Could it be that this girl in front of me is also a doctor?
But she looked like she was only in her teens, and even these doctors with 10 to 20 years of experience couldn't immediately determine the cause of Mrs. Li's illness. Could she do it?
The prefect is desperate and is trying every possible means to cure his illness.
Song Yuntang let go of Mrs. Li's hand, looked at her tongue coating again, then reached into the quilt and touched Mrs. Li's abdomen and back.
"Madam, do you have pain in the upper abdomen or the lower abdomen?"
Before Mrs. Li could catch her breath and answer her, the doctor beside her hurriedly said, "It's in the upper abdomen."
Song Yuntang did not respond to him. He continued to ask Mrs. Li a few more questions and then turned to look at Yu Amber.
"What did Madam eat yesterday? Please list them all for me, don't leave any out."
The doctor next to her glanced at her and said casually.
"Madam, what you eat is no different from usual. Madam Li has pain in her upper abdomen and ribs, so it should not be a stomach upset."
They were just asking the same questions they had asked before, nothing new, and it looked like they couldn't make any diagnosis.
Although the doctor had already answered Song Yuntang, Yupo still recalled and recounted what Madam Li had eaten yesterday.
"Madam likes liver. It happened that the eldest son came back from hunting a deer yesterday. Madam was greedy and ate a few more bites and drank a little wine. Other than that, her diet was no different from usual. Madam also eats liver on weekdays, and this situation has never happened before."
Drinking is inevitable at ordinary banquets.
This phenomenon has never occurred after drinking.
Song Yuntang listened to Yu Ao's words and had his own thoughts.
She came to the table, picked up the ready-made paper and pen, and wrote down a prescription, "Centella asiatica, Artemisia capillaris, Scutellaria baicalensis, Aucklandia lappa, Curcuma aromatica, Rhubarb, Stir-fried Citrus aurantium with bran..."
After writing, she handed the prescription to Yu Amber.
"Miss, hurry up and get the medicine according to the prescription and boil it. By the way, have someone bring another bowl of painkillers. I will give Madam acupuncture to relieve the pain first, and then let her drink the painkillers. She should feel better."
The doctors invited by the Li family must have been experienced, and they must have prescribed painkillers to relieve Mrs. Li's abdominal pain.
Since it is available, we might as well use it first to relieve the patient's pain.
Yupo responded and left with the prescription.
The doctor beside her saw this and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, have you diagnosed the cause of Madam Li's illness?"
Song Yuntang said two words calmly.
"gallstone."
"No wonder you prescribed Paishi San just now." Then he frowned and asked, "How do you know it's gallstones? What if you prescribed the wrong medicine?"
Song Yuntang took out the silver needle bag from his sleeve and unfolded it. He also took out the fire stick he carried with him. While answering the doctor's questions, he disinfected the silver needles with fire and inserted them into Madam Li's Yanglingquan, Zhongwan, and Qiuxu acupoints.
"The patient has a stringy and slippery pulse, flank pain, obvious tenderness but refuses to press, and pain in the shoulders and back, accompanied by nausea, dry mouth, bitter taste, pale red tongue, and greasy yellow tongue coating. This is a symptom of damp heat accumulation. Moreover, animal liver, egg yolk and fatty meat contain some substances. Long-term consumption will greatly increase the risk of gallstones."
"The patient is currently experiencing severe pain in the ribs. After acupuncture and medication, the pain will be slightly relieved. Then take the stone-removing powder for a few days. If the gallstones can be expelled smoothly, it will be good. If not, we will have to use extraordinary measures."
I hope the gallstones are small and can be excreted smoothly.
Otherwise, she had no experience in laparotomy to remove stones, and the conditions for surgery were not met here, so the actual operation would be too risky.
The two doctors listened to Song Yuntang's extremely detailed and professional analysis, and the doubts that had just shrouded them seemed to be suddenly resolved.
“So that’s how it is!”
Unexpectedly, this young girl in front of me is really capable!
The two put away their contemptuous attitude and looked at her, "I wonder what the extraordinary method that young lady is talking about is?"
