Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 732: Phlegm Bag and the Old Scientist's Strange Disease (Monthly Ticket Plus)
"Of course not, I went there to study." When asked this question again, Fangyan's answer seemed very familiar.

The patient's mother said in dialect:

"But your level is really high."

Fangyan shook his head and said with a smile:

"There is always someone better than you. The professors in the school have all been famous for many years and have taught countless Chinese medicine practitioners. I still have to continue learning to improve myself."

When the patient's mother heard Fang Yan's words, she turned to look at Dong Yi and said:
"It is said that experts are all humble. Look at Doctor Fang's attitude towards learning. It turns out that his success is not accidental."

Dong Yi nodded with a smile:
"you do not say."

After saying this, he looked at Fangyan with burning eyes.

However, Fang Yan seemed to be immune to such gazes and said to them:

"Thank you both for the compliments."

After speaking in dialect, he changed the subject and said:

"Okay, let's get down to business. Now that the prescription and treatment plan are ready, you can go through the admission procedures and prepare for hospitalization."

"I need a family member to stay with me during this period. Is that okay?"

Hearing about the dialect issue, the patient's mother said:
"No problem, no problem. I've already asked for leave from work and will accompany him in person during this time."

"I just don't know how long it will take to cure him?"

The dialect said:

"It takes about a week to control the sleepwalking episodes, and then there is a three-week recovery period, which is about a month. Once the recovery period is over, you can go home. Take Tianwang Buxin Pills and Xiaoyao Pills every day for conditioning, and get acupuncture twice every weekend."

After finishing speaking, Fangyan thought about the other party's family background, so he added one more sentence:
"Also, you can't eat anything with caffeine, like chocolate or something like that."

After hearing this, the patient's mother was slightly startled:
"Can't eat chocolate? Why?"

It sounds like you have this kind of thing at home.

The dialect said:

"He couldn't sleep after eating."

The patient's mother suddenly realized:
"Oh! No wonder..."

Then Fangyan asked them to go and check in for admission to the hospital.

At the same time, let Yang Jingxiang bring the next one in.

Dong Yi seemed a little reluctant to leave, but Fang Yan simply ignored her.

He concentrated on perfecting the medical records.

Dong Yi had no choice but to say goodbye to Fang Yan and leave the clinic.

After the three of them left, the fourth patient came in.

This time it was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

Accompanying her was a woman in military uniform. Fangyan saw that it was someone from the army who came to see him.

"Hello, Doctor Fang!" The little girl's mother greeted in Fangyan after entering the room.

The little girl also nodded to Fangyan.

"Please take a seat." Fangyan pointed to the seat in front of the examination table.

After the little girl came and sat down, the woman in military uniform began to describe her illness without any extra words.

"Three months ago, a lump of flesh grew under the tongue of our child. It was diagnosed as a sublingual cyst at our military hospital and a surgery was quickly arranged for its removal. However, half a month later, the cyst recurred and quickly grew to the same size. Later, the hospital used threading and ligation to treat it. The cyst shrank at the time, but it grew to the same size again seven days later."

"After that, I used the ring therapy and continued the treatment for more than a month, but the cyst still did not heal."

"I saw that it was really impossible, so I found a way to find you here."

If you hadn't said he was from the army, there wouldn't have been a single extra word.

Fangyan nodded and said to the little girl:
"Open your mouth and let me see."

The girl opened her mouth and rolled up her tongue. Fangyan discovered that she had a lot of saliva secreted in her mouth.

Then I found a swelling under my tongue.

The swelling under the tongue was the size of a bayberry, located right in the middle of the root of the tongue. It was purple-red in color and had a shiny surface. Fangyan pressed it with his hand and found that it was soft and tough, and that there was liquid inside the swelling.

The patient's mother said in dialect:

"It pushed the tongue up and had a serious impact on my daughter's speech and eating."

"I wonder if Doctor Fang has any way to treat this?"

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Yeah, no problem, this is easy."

He didn't even take the patient's pulse, but he already knew what the problem was. It was such a typical problem.

The dialect said:

"She had an illness caused by the accumulation of phlegm, fire and dampness in her body, which blocked and gathered each other. This is what Chinese medicine calls a phlegm bag."

"It is said in the "Surgery Authentic": Phlegm bag is phlegm fire accumulated under the tongue, which is as big as a bean at first and gradually becomes as big as a walnut. It is urgent to clear the fire and resolve the phlegm."

"We just need to remove the dampness in the body, dissolve the phlegm, and at the same time clear and reduce the heat evil produced by the heart and spleen. It won't take long to recover."

The patient's mother was a little surprised to hear the casual words in dialect.

He had been treated in the military hospital for a long time but there was no effect and the disease kept recurring. When he came to Fangyan, he said it was just a minor illness like a cold and a headache.

At this time, Fang Yan had already asked the patient:
“Are your bowel movements and urination normal?”

"Yeah." The girl nodded.

Then Fangyan picked up the pen and began to write the prescription:
黄连9g、制半夏9g、茯苓12g、陈皮9g、栀子9g、川贝母9g、生地黄18g、冬瓜仁 30g、木通6g、竹叶心6g、生甘草3g、莲心1.5g。

For external use: Mix raw pollen with honey to make a paste and apply to the affected area four or five times a day.

Dietary remedies:
Shuanglian Drink: 3g lotus seed core, 6g honeysuckle, brew with boiling water as tea (2 cups per day)
Job's tears and mung bean porridge: 30g Job's tears, 30g mung bean, 50g polished rice, cook into porridge (daily breakfast)

Then Fang Yan said to the patient:
"While taking the medicine, you must remember to avoid spicy, fried, and sweet foods. Also avoid habits that stimulate the sublingual glands, such as biting your lips and sucking your fingers."

"Yeah." The patient nodded obediently.

Fang Yan then handed her the prescription and said:

"Also, observe the changes in your tongue coating frequently. When your current yellow and greasy tongue coating turns into a thin white coating like mine, it means you are getting better."

After speaking in dialect, he stuck out his tongue and showed it to the patient.

The other person showed a look of realization, and although he couldn't speak, he nodded vigorously. "Okay, no problem, go get the medicine." Fang Yan said to the patient.

The patient stood up, and her mother asked in disbelief:

"No need to be hospitalized?"

She saw that the three people before her had all been admitted to the hospital.

"No, this is a small problem." After saying this in dialect, he told them to go without worry.

"Next one." After the third and fourth patients, Fang Yan felt that the difficulty had suddenly decreased, and he even wanted to sigh.

This fifth patient was called into the consulting room.

This is an old lady wearing thick glasses and looks to be in her sixties.

The dialect looked familiar, and it took me a moment to remember it.

This person should be a professor at Beijing Institute of Technology where my dad works. He is an expert in radar.

Last name: Zhu.

But it has nothing to do with my father-in-law's family.

"Professor Zhu!" Fang Yan greeted the old lady.

This startled the old lady and everyone who came in with her. The old lady was surprised and said:

"Yeah, Fangyan, you still remember me."

You have to know that Fangyan didn't stay at home for long after he came back, and the two of them had almost no contact with each other.

It was a bit surprising to recognize her.

Faced with this scientist's dialect, he was still very respectful and stood up to invite her personally:

"Please take a seat."

Then he smiled and said to the old lady:
"I have a good memory. I remember many of the teachers in my dad's school."

"You work on radar, right?"

Hearing this, the old lady smiled and said:

"Oh, I remembered it right."

At this time, Zhang Yanchang and Yang Jingxiang were also very considerate. They immediately went to get teacups and poured tea for the old lady and the middle-aged man who came in with her.

They even brought an extra chair for the middle-aged man who came in with them to sit on.

This attitude was very useful to both of them.

The whole person relaxed.

Fangyan dragged his chair to the old lady's side and said to her:
"If you feel unwell, just call my dad. I'll come to your house in person. There's no need to queue up here."

The old lady smiled and shook her head:
"Well, we still have to follow the rules, and you're so busy, how can we do that?"

Fang Yan asked her:

"Where do you feel uncomfortable? Tell me."

The old lady took a sip of water from the teacup and said:
"It's been more than two months since I started having this problem. For no apparent reason, I often have a sweet taste in my mouth, and even water tastes sweet when I drink it."

"Just like drinking this tea now, I know what this tea tastes like, but it tastes different now than before."

When Fang Yan heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The behavior of Zhang Yanchang and Yang Jingxiang at the back was also a bit puzzling.

Just now two patients came with ease, and now another patient has come with a disease that I have never encountered before.

"What else?" Fang Yan continued to ask without showing any doubt.

The old lady thought about it, as if she was distracted. After a few seconds, she spoke in dialect:

"Besides that, I also feel uncomfortable here, in my esophagus, and here, in my stomach. I often feel nauseous."

"Because the food tasted sweet, my appetite was very poor and my stomach always felt bloated. I could only eat an egg and half a cup of porridge in the morning, and then I would not eat anything for the whole day."

"In the past ten days or so, I have had fever symptoms, with my body temperature fluctuating between 37.5 degrees Celsius and 39 degrees Celsius, accompanied by frequent and urgent urination."

"Oh, by the way, I have a history of stomach problems. When they occur, I need to take soda tablets to relieve them. My stools are often dry and hard, and I have been relying on aloe vera pills to pass stools for more than ten years."

Fangyan nodded and wrote it down.

Then the old lady continued:

"Also, since I started to feel that the food I ate was sweet, there was another phenomenon that I didn't know what the connection was."

"Please tell me." Fangyan motioned for her to continue.

The old lady said a little embarrassedly:
"I just can't sleep well at night and I wake up easily. It's a bit embarrassing to say that I'm such an adult, but I actually started to wet the bed when I sleep."

Fang Yan frowned slightly, then said:
"anything else?"

The old lady paused, then continued:

"I have not been able to sleep well since then. I feel terrified before dawn. I am very tired and like to lie in bed. I am not clear-headed. I often cannot express myself clearly when I speak and I don't want to eat."

Then she added:
"I used to love sweets, but after I got this disease, I no longer dare to eat sweets. I also don't want to take anything sweet, bitter or spicy. I always feel that the tastes are completely different from what I remember. Every time I eat, I feel very painful and conflicted."

Fangyan nodded and thought quickly.

Then the old lady continued:
"Before coming to you, I had consulted a Western doctor for treatment, but it didn't work very well. After taking their medicine, I felt the side effects were even worse. Some problems occurred, which made me afraid to take it anymore. That's why my family came to you for diagnosis and treatment."

"I want you to help me figure out what the problem is."

Fang Yan nodded without showing too much emotion. He said to the old lady:
"Open your mouth and stick out your tongue for me to see."

The old lady nodded, then opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue.

Zhang Yanchang and Yang Jingxiang, who were standing behind Fangyan, also looked over. They found that the old lady's tongue was pale red, very tender, and had a thin white coating.

No matter how you look at it, it seems normal.

The two thought, could it be another mental problem?

After updating this, I owe you 92 words.
