Chapter 9: Treating Heat Asthma with Purgative Methods (please collect, comment, recommend, vote monthly, invest)

Thirty minutes after leaving the needle in place, Huang Su pulled out the silver needles at three acupoints: Dazhui, Fengmen, and Feishu.

Observing the patient carefully, his face was still green with purple, but the frequency of chest rise and fall was significantly reduced.

Yan Bing came over and put on a stethoscope to check the patient's lung function again.

"Listen, there is still wheezing in the patient's lungs." Yan Bing took off his stethoscope and handed it to Huang Su.

Huang Su put on the stethoscope and listened for a while, then took it off and said: "Acupuncture is not as amazing as shown on TV. It can bring the dead back to life with one needle. Acupuncture can only temporarily control the condition. If you use moxa sticks on each acupuncture point after taking the needle,

The treatment effect will be better if it takes five to seven minutes, but it is a pity that the current hospital does not have this condition."

After settling the patients and their families, Huang Su and the doctors who came with Yan Bing walked out of the intensive care unit.

"Dr. Huang, let's wait outside for a while. Director Liu will come over soon to check on the patient's condition." Yan Bing said as he walked.

Huang Su leaned against the wall and proactively asked: "How do you plan to treat this patient? If this continues, it will have a great impact on the development of the pregnant woman's fetus. Although I have not studied Western medicine, the side effects of Western medicine asthma medicine are unknown to me.

I still know a little bit about it.”

"I also did a preliminary examination on the patient when the injection was started. His face was bruised and his limbs were cold. If this continues, the patient's life may be in danger."

Yan Bing sat on the stool opposite Huang Su and said feebly and helplessly: "I can't do anything about this now. The patient has developed drug resistance. You can also see that atomized inhalation and intravenous injection are useless."

Huang Su nodded silently in agreement.

Yan Bing looked up at Huang Su and asked, "Does your Chinese medicine have any treatment for this patient?"

Huang Su shook his head and said: "Now I don't know how to treat the patient."

Dr. Yan asked curiously: "Since you know it is asthma, how can you not know how to treat it?"

Huang Su explained: "Your Western medicine is based on disease differentiation and treatment, while our Chinese medicine is based on syndrome differentiation and treatment."

"In the eyes of your Western medicine doctors, they are just asthma. In traditional Chinese medicine, there are many pathogenesis of asthma. Wind and cold close the lungs, phlegm and heat block the lungs, phlegm blocks the lungs, lungs and spleen are deficient, and the kidneys do not accept qi. We treat asthma.

It is divided into cold asthma, heat asthma, phlegm asthma, and wind asthma. I can only prescribe the right medicine after finding the patient's syndrome after combining the four diagnosis methods with ginseng."

Yan Bing continued to ask: "Aren't the patient's symptoms still obvious?"

Huang Su continued to explain: "This syndrome is not that disease. The syndrome I am talking about is not the same thing as the symptoms you understand. The symptoms you understand are the specific conditions manifested in the disease. The syndromes in our traditional Chinese medicine refer to

It is the pathology of traditional Chinese medicine in the development process of the disease."

Yan Bing continued to ask: "Then you can't infer the pathology of traditional Chinese medicine from the patient's symptoms. I remember that traditional Chinese medicine is not about hearing, asking, and feeling. This should belong to hope."

Huang Su did not deny it and replied directly: "I can indeed initially judge that the patient has heat asthma."

Yan Bing said suspiciously: "Since you already know it's heat asthma, why don't you know how to treat it?"

Huang Su explained: "Although I can initially determine that it is heat asthma, I don't know whether the patient has phlegm due to heat, or wind due to heat."

Listening to Huang Su's words, Yan Bing felt hot, phlegm, and windy, and made himself faint. He stopped discussing the patient's condition and quietly waited for Director Liu to come over.

Although Yan Bing looks cold-faced, after contacting her in the past few days, I can feel that she does not have the arrogance and prejudice against Chinese medicine like other Western medicine. This is why Huang Su is still willing to say a few more words to her, but don't expect it.

She can take the initiative to understand Chinese medicine.

Unlike Director Liu, who communicates with each other with open mouth and learns from each other with closed mouth, he never actively communicates about the patient's condition, and unlike Dr. Liang, who keeps a distance at all.

Just then there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor.

The two of them looked over and saw Director Liu Huiying and Dr. Liang rushing towards this side.

"Doctor Yan, how is the patient's condition now?" Director Liu Huiying stepped forward and asked hurriedly.

Yan Bing replied: "Director, Director Huang has used acupuncture to control the patient's condition. Now the patient has developed resistance to drugs. Salbutamol and methylprednisolone sodium succinate are no longer effective in treating the disease."

Liu Huiying frowned and thought for a long time, then looked at Huang Su and asked: "Director Huang, can acupuncture and Chinese medicine cure the patient's asthma?"

When it comes to the safety of patients and fetuses, Liu Huiying does not care about the opinions of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. In addition, it is now at a critical moment when applying for a tertiary hospital. The director will never allow any more disputes in the obstetrics and gynecology department to hinder the hospital's application.

Huang Su told the truth: "My level of acupuncture is only average. I can only stabilize the condition, but I can't guarantee a cure."

Liu Huiying thought for a while again and continued to ask: "What if we use decoction?"

Huang Su said truthfully: "I can't guarantee this. I have to find out the syndrome after four diagnostics combined with ginseng before I can answer."

Liu Huiying turned to Dr. Liang for advice and said: "Dr. Liang, you are the patient's treating doctor. Now that Western medicine has no therapeutic effect, what should you do to treat this patient next?"

Dr. Liang said in a cold tone: "Everything is based on the patient's condition. I will obey the director's arrangements."

Liu Huiying looked at Huang Su: "Director Huang, this patient is going to trouble you again."

Huang Sudao: "Nothing is too troublesome. It is the duty of a doctor to treat illnesses and save people."

When the patient's family members saw the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department returning with a dozen doctors, they stood up and asked anxiously: "Director Liu, how come my wife's asthma is getting worse with treatment, and is there any possibility of cure?"

While comforting the family members, Liu Huiying introduced Huang Su: "The patient's family members should not be anxious. The patient is now resistant to the medicine. We have invited Director Huang of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to use traditional Chinese medicine methods to see the effect of the treatment."

The patient's family members looked at Huang Su and saw that it was the doctor who treated his wife with acupuncture. Their anxiety and worry finally eased and they said, "Director Huang, please excuse me."

Huang Su moved a stool and sat next to the patient, picked up one of the patient's arms and began to feel the pulse.

Pressing three fingers on the pulse is like pressing on a tight piano string, and the pulse beats like a running ball, very powerful, which is a stringy and slippery pulse condition. A stringy and slippery pulse is mostly a sign of warm heat and phlegm.

Huang Su put the patient's arm back on the hospital bed, covered him with a quilt, and said to the patient: "Put your tongue out and let me take a look."

The patient stuck out his tongue and examined it carefully. He saw that the tongue coating was yellow and thick, and the coating particles were small and dense, as if a layer of putty was applied to the tongue coating. The medium thickness and thin edge were a sign of greasy coating.

The tongue coating is yellow, thick, greasy and turbid, which is mostly caused by phlegm-heat, food accumulation or damp-heat.

Huang Su asked the patient to put away his tongue and asked: "Do you usually feel thirsty?"

The patient nodded weakly.

Huang Su turned to the patient's family and asked, "Does the patient cough up sputum?"

The patient's family member replied: "Cough, I cough day and night, and the phlegm I cough up is yellow and sticky."

Huang Su continued to ask: "Is it difficult to have dry stools?"

"It's very difficult. I have to open the plug every time I have a bowel movement." Seeing Huang Su all asking about his wife's symptoms, the patient's family members regained their confidence and asked eagerly: "Doctor, how is my wife's condition?"

Huang Su replied: "The patient has heat asthma with phlegm-heat syndrome. The mechanism is that the lungs and large intestine are external and internal, and the heat evil stagnates in the two meridians and cannot be removed. If it goes up, it will be sick, and if it goes down, it will go smoothly."

"What do you mean by saying this."

Dr. Yan walked to Huang Su's side silently, put his ear to his ear and asked suddenly.

Although the sound was not loud, Huang Su was startled by the sudden sound in an environment where everyone was focused.

Seeing that the visitor was Dr. Yan, Huang Su explained: "It means that phlegm-heat is blocked in the lungs. The treatment method is to purge the phlegm-heat, cleanse the stomach and intestines, purge the lungs, and calm the asthma."

The family members of the patients listened to the four-character words that kept popping out of Huang Su's mouth. Although most of them could not understand them, they still understood the meaning of self-relief from asthma. For the first time, joy appeared on their faces that had been suffering and despairing for many days.

Holding Huang Su's hand, he said excitedly: "Director Huang, thank you first. You must cure my wife."

Yan Bing then asked: "Then how to treat it specifically?"

Huang Su replied: "Take Dachengqi Decoction to relieve diarrhea and relieve heat knots."
