"Do children still eat this every day?" Zheng Ren looked at the lysine and had some thoughts in his mind.
"Yes, Teacher Zheng. The effect of lysine in assisting the body's calcium absorption has not been very long. I also wonder if the body is lacking some trace elements." Dr. Zhao was particularly grateful to Zheng Ren for his actions. She ran the inspection herself, and she was afraid that it would be left out of her control.
"Huh?" Zheng Ren frowned, looked at the box of lysine and asked, "How much dosage should I take?"
"Take one pill twice a day."
His attention was mainly focused on the old man, and he observed every detail clearly. Because Zheng Ren was considering not only the orchid grass ointment, but also the lysine.
Sure enough, as expected, Zheng Ren saw the corners of the old man's mouth moving slightly at the door, but he hesitated to speak.
"Auntie, what do you want to say?" Zheng Ren asked gently.
"This... this medicine..." the old man stammered, and he only started to prescribe it and said nothing more.
"You said, it's okay." Zheng Ren said with a smile, "There is indeed something wrong with your grandson. Now we have to find out what the problem is."
"This medicine... I forgot what my girl said, take it according to the instructions." The old man hesitated for a few seconds, and finally told the truth.
Dr. Zhao was stunned for a moment. He had already told him how to eat according to the instructions!
The instructions on the instructions are for adult dosage, can it be the same
"Teacher Zheng, is everything okay?" Dr. Zhao's voice was a little shaky, but she felt that the problem should not be serious.
"If you have time to hold your child, go get a bone density check, and then look at the femoral head. If you take a large amount of lysine orally for a long time, it may lead to a decrease in bone density. Coupled with the use of hormones, it may lead to severe femoral head necrosis." Zheng Ren sighed and said.
“…”
Dr. Zhao was dumbfounded. Bone density has decreased? Isn’t this a calcium supplement? Moreover, Boss Zheng asked for a femoral head examination and said he suspected that the child had femoral head necrosis? !
"Teacher Zheng..." Dr. Zhao asked stammeringly as he was too anxious to speak.
"The main function of lysine is to treat cold sores, but in China it is taken as a calcium supplement and height-increasing drug." Zheng Rendao, "This is actually not particularly necessary."
"Ah?" Dr. Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Doesn't it have the effect of calcium supplementation?"
"Yes." Zheng Rendao, "Lysine, called L-lysine in biochemistry books, is an amino acid necessary to maintain many body functions. People describe amino acids as building blocks of proteins, because amino acids combine with other compounds to form this Plant macronutrients.”
"We define lysine as an essential amino acid, because unlike other amino acids, the human body cannot synthesize lysine. Therefore, lysine can only be obtained from food."
"Isn't this... very good?" Dr. Zhao was still arguing, as if to prove Zheng Ren was wrong, the child's illness would be cured.
"That's not the case." Zheng Ren sighed and said, "The main function is to treat cold sores, either chilblains or cold sores that occur on the lips and corners of the lips. This is the main function of lysine."
"Of course, lysine also helps the body absorb calcium, iron and zinc, promotes the growth of collagen, and supports the immune system. It can also help the body produce a variety of enzymes, antibodies and hormones."
"But too much intake of anything is not good, and may even turn into poison." Zheng Rendao, "Take the calcium supplement you mentioned. The body needs it to help absorb calcium and maintain healthy hormones, enzymes and antibody levels. .”
“Since lysine helps the body absorb calcium, consuming too much can cause high calcium levels in the body, also known as hypocalcemia.”
"The human body needs to be balanced. If blood calcium decreases, the consequences... I won't go into details about this." Zheng Ren said, "Stop the lysine first, and we will wait until the other tests are completed."
"Oh," Dr. Zhao responded.
"Boss, Chu Lin said he would be here right away."
"Okay, come here." Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment, but still agreed. It seems that Lao Liu can do the surgery. It doesn't matter if Linger helps. It's just a little troublesome, Zheng Ren is a little embarrassed.
He held the orchid grass ointment in his hand, "Dr. Zhao, I'll take this and test it to see if it contains hormones."
"Excuse me, Teacher Zheng." Dr. Zhao bowed to Zheng Ren to express his gratitude.
Zheng Ren didn't want to say anything more. A 2-year-old child had already shown symptoms of femoral head necrosis. Even if it was only stage 1, it would be difficult to deal with in the future.
Zheng Ren is particularly reluctant to accept children's cases. First, because pediatrics is very professional, which is different from adults. But more importantly, the child itself is a flower and hope. It withers before it blooms, which makes it uncomfortable no matter how you think about it.
Walking out of the doctor's duty room, one could hear Dr. Zhao sobbing and arguing with her mother. This is a family matter, and Zheng Ren doesn't want to get involved.
"Boss Zheng, is the child okay?" Lin Jiaojiao asked as she didn't expect the matter to be so serious.
"Sister Lin, how can you say it's okay?" Su Yun said, "Do you know the sequelae of eating too much lysine?"
"I've been taking it for a while, and it said it can promote the synthesis of collagen in the body."
"You are an adult, and you are different from Dr. Zhao's child. The child eats too much, and the blood calcium is low, and convulsions and convulsions may occur. But there is another possibility that the child is unable to move due to low blood calcium. , willing to lie down in one position." Su Yun said his speculation.
Zheng Ren thought the same way. Orchid grass ointment was only one factor. If we traced the source, we finally found the root of lysine.
"The child was sweating, enuresing, and always lying in the same position, so he was naturally willing to develop eczema. Then I touched the orchid grass ointment containing hormones. It is said that the orchid grass ointment is not cheap." Su Yundao.
"Pure traditional Chinese medicine preparations themselves are not cheap. The selling point is that the medicine does not contain any industrial ingredients and is purely natural, green and pollution-free." Lin Jiaojiao said.
"Yes, but will it be useful? Even if it is useful, it is still a conditioning process. If you want immediate results, what does Chinese medicine say?"
"Tiger and Wolf Medicine."
"Hey, that's right." Su Yundao said, "I guess I need to cure this child, but it will take a lot of effort, no matter how much it costs. Generally, hypocalcemia and a large intake of hormones can easily lead to diabetes. I hope the child doesn't have this problem. The problem... Boss, what do you think?"
"I don't know. Let's take the orchid grass ointment for testing first." Although Zheng Ren knew the result, he couldn't just say no to Su Yun. Anyway, I won’t delay the treatment, so I won’t talk to Su Yun about this.
