784,zinc
In the room, the atmosphere was relaxed but with an indescribable weirdness.
The spiciness and meaty aroma of chili was faintly permeating, Gong Lingan put a chili on the tip of his tongue, and savored it carefully. "No." The voice of refusal was very straightforward.
Qianxue swallowed hard, "Then can you tell me, what is the subject of your experiment?"
"No." He refused again.
Gu Qianxue was nervous, scared, and curious, but there was nothing she could do.
"Fortunately, this guy was not born in modern times, otherwise he must be a Frankenstein." Gu Qianxue muttered.
"Is it your turn now? Regarding my sense of taste, since you said it wasn't poison, what is it?" Gong Ling'an asked with narrowed eyes while holding his chopsticks.
It can be seen that he still cares about himself.
Gu Qianxue also suppressed all kinds of emotions and became serious, "I can't be 100% sure now, but at least 60% can infer that you have drug-induced dysgeusia. It causes a large loss of zinc in the body, and finally loses the sense of taste. Answer me honestly, are you still taking various medicines?"
Gong Ling'an looked at Gu Qianxue warily, pursed his lips and hesitated for a while, then nodded.
"I once heard that Zhou Rongqiu from a family of genius doctors said that to learn poison or medicine, you have to try it yourself. This method... I don't appreciate it, but... Forget it, now there seems to be no other way except this." Gu Qianxue He scratched his hair helplessly, "But during the treatment period, can you stop taking the medicine, otherwise it will disturb my judgment."
Gong Ling'an raised her eyebrows and nodded.
"Put out your tongue and show me." Qian Xue said.
"..."
Gu Qianxue nodded, understanding, "I want to check the pulse."
Gong Ling'an's eyes revealed a kind of contempt, and he stretched out his wrist.
His bones are slender, and his fingers are slender. Because he doesn't like to use weapons and pens less, his fingertips are still white and crystal clear.
But with such a seemingly flawless hand, Gu Qianxue knew that it was stained with countless blood.
Put your hand on his pulse, examine it carefully, and after a while, raise your hand.
Gu Qianxue pondered for a moment, and then asked seriously, "What are the specific manifestations of your taste failure? Is it bitter, sweet, or salty and spicy?"
"There is no special performance, but I feel that any flavor is very weak." After a pause, he said, "Except for the spicy taste."
Qianxue waited, nodded, combined with Gong Lingan's pulse, and began to think.
Bitter mouth is the most common abnormal taste, accompanied by symptoms such as dry mouth and hypochondriac pain, which is more common in TCM syndrome differentiation as liver and gallbladder damp heat. Clinically, patients with liver and gallbladder damp-heat types such as acute hepatitis, acute cholecystitis, and acute urethritis often feel bitter in the mouth, so they take medicines such as plantain, desmodium, and mian chen.
Sweet in the mouth, accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal distension and diarrhea, usually caused by damp heat in the spleen and stomach or phlegm damp due to spleen deficiency. Clinically, it is common for patients to overeat fat, sweet and thick flavors, which damages the spleen and stomach, and the spleen is deficient in transportation and transformation. Diabetics often experience a sweet taste in their mouth.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that salty taste enters the kidneys and pungent taste enters the lungs. If you feel a spicy taste in your mouth, it may be due to lung heat or stomach fire; Insufficient yin, empty fire rises.
But obviously, Gong Ling'an's symptoms were different from these.
Combined with his pulse condition, Gu Qianxue believes that Gong Lingan's taste loss is not caused by damage to organs, but the taste loss caused by the loss of zinc in the body.
The best way is to quit and make up for it.
Quitting means giving up the medicines you take every day.
Supplementation is to supplement the trace element zinc.
Speaking of zinc supplementation, the best drugs are zinc sulfate or zinc gluconate, but in the basement of Chu Yanguo, how do these things get done? It would be great if she had a Doraemon's space-time machine. Go back and find a pharmacy and buy two boxes to deal with it.
Seeing Gu Qianxue's hesitant expression of scratching her ears and cheeks, Gong Ling'an's eyes were slightly angry, "It's been a long time, but you can't cure it?"
"Who said I can't cure it?" Gu Qianxue became angry all of a sudden. What the person in front of her questioned was not her medical skills, but the great modern technology and the brilliant achievements of China's 5,000-year medical science. "It can be cured, but there is a shortage of doctors and medicines here, and I lack materials."
"Ha," Gong Ling'an sneered, "It's really bragging and not drafting. You actually said that Chu Yanguo lacks medical care and medicine. Don't you know that Chuyanguo has another name, which is the country of medicine?"
Gu Qianxue was helpless, "The medicine I'm talking about is not herbal medicine, but something that is more effective than herbal medicine. You know penicillin, right?"
Gong Ling'an naturally knew about penicillin. At that time, a strange woman offered penicillin to the prince, which caused a sensation in the civil and military courts, or in other words, the world.
The formula of penicillin is a royal secret, and out of curiosity, he once stole some out, and after experimenting, it is certainly remarkable.
"You mean, you need penicillin?"
Qianxue shook her head, "No, no, I haven't made a list of what I need specifically, but maybe penicillin is also needed. What I mean is that there are many things in this world that are more effective than herbal medicine."
"The penicillin is in the palace of Nanyue Kingdom. Even if I send someone to fetch it, it will take three days at the fastest round trip."
Qian Xue said, "Oh, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, it's very simple to make penicillin, just get two white flour steamed buns." After finishing speaking, he explained the method of making penicillin and how to purify it.
Gong Lingan was shocked.
"Why do you know about penicillin..." But in an instant, thinking of Gu Qianxue's disguised appearance, Gong Ling'an narrowed his eyes dangerously, "In other words, you were the one who offered penicillin to the prince?"
Gu Qianxue nodded, "...ah, yes."
Gong Ling'an took a deep breath, "It's no wonder the prince never forgets you." But then, his expression took on a bad taste, "Woman, where is your heart?"
Gu Qianxue has begun to think hard about the way to extract zinc, "Ah? Where is zinc? Zinc is found in many foods, such as tea powder, green tea, fish, oysters, seaweed, sesame and walnuts, but at your level, it is already It’s not just food supplements, it must be treated with medicine…”
"I'm asking about your heart." Gong Ling'an raised his voice, "On the one hand, you're flattering the prince, on the other hand, you're flirting with Prince Li, and you're having trouble with Su Lingxiao. It's really... a good trick, thanks to you not entering the palace. Otherwise, there will be a cholera harem.”
Gu Qianxue became anxious in an instant, "Gong Ling'an, you can take medicine but not talk nonsense. What do you mean I flatter the prince? The prince still doesn't know that I am the one who donated the medicine, and I am not the one who donated the medicine to the prince. What can I do if I have an affair with King Li and he dumped me? As for Mr. Su...I admit this, but since I finally choose to be with Mr. Su, I will do it wholeheartedly. , never mind!"
