Reasoning diagnosis: Big brother, your wife has been prescribed medicine!

Chapter 176 The connection between cough and abdominal pain!

"She started to have cough symptoms about five months ago, mainly dry cough, and there was not much phlegm in her throat."

"Then we bought some cough medicines in the pharmacy, but they didn't work. We tried both Chinese and Western medicines, but they didn't work."

"Sometimes it's good for a while, but after a while it doesn't work."

"In addition, the cough has become more and more severe, and I often cough until I feel dizzy."

The man said with a sad look on his face.

"Well, you go on."

Lin Yi stared at him closely and nodded.

"Then we see that it won't work if it goes on like this. We must go to the hospital to have a look."

"So I told her to ask her to go to the hospital for an examination to see if it wasn't lung cancer. After all, her father died of lung cancer."

The man continued talking,
"When I said that, she also felt scared."

"So I took her to a hospital near us at the weekend."

"After arriving there, the doctor asked her to go for a chest CT immediately after learning about the situation."

"But fortunately, the results of the chest CT came out and there was no problem, so we were relieved."

Lin Yi couldn't help nodding slightly when he heard this.

Because Lin Yi had already seen her chest CT just now, and there was really nothing wrong with it.

The man took a breath and continued:
"Since there is no lung cancer, we asked the doctor why the cough persists, and what is the problem?"

"Then a doctor told us that my wife's cough might be caused by asthma."

"At that time, we were puzzled, shouldn't asthma be gasping for breath, how could we cough."

Lin Yi nodded to him and explained:

"It is true that typical asthma symptoms are mainly wheezing, but some asthmatic patients do have cough as the main symptom."

"Whether the symptoms are coughing or wheezing, the essence is the same. They all have inflammation, but some cause wheezing symptoms, while others cause coughing symptoms."

The man expressed his understanding after listening, and then said:
"It turns out that's true. That's probably what the doctor meant at the time."

"Then how was the treatment done?"

Lin Yi asked immediately.

"The doctor arranged for my wife what seems to be a lung function test, and a bunch of related respiratory tests. After the results came out, no problems were found."

"They said that my wife's lung function is good, the diastolic test is normal, and the bronchial provocation test is also negative."

"So they said it wasn't asthma."

The man said to Lin Yi in one breath.

Lin Yi nodded slightly after listening.

It's not the cause of the lungs, nor is it asthma...

From this point of view, there are actually many possibilities.

There are many reasons that can cause symptoms of coughing.

For example, allergic cough, eosinophilic bronchitis, gastroesophageal reflux-related cough, etc. are all possible.

"What did the doctor over there say later?"

Lin Yi couldn't help asking curiously.

"The doctor over there sent my wife to the hospital to do more tests to find out what caused it."

"It is said to do a fiberoptic bronchoscope, and insert such a thick tube through the throat!"

The man said, gestured with his hand,
"My wife didn't want to after hearing it. On the one hand, she was afraid of this thing, and on the other hand, she felt that doing so many tests was a waste of money."

"Then she asked the doctor, did she have lung cancer or tuberculosis?"

"The doctor said no, because tuberculosis does cause long-term cough, but it will be clearly found in chest CT. Most tuberculosis patients will have long-term low-grade fever, fatigue, night sweats and other symptoms."

"After listening to my wife, she directly said that there is no need to investigate. If it is for other reasons, it is not a big problem, just go home and raise it slowly."

Lin Yi was speechless when he heard this.

There is a problem with your health, and you just go home without checking it out?
This is too big!
Seeing Lin Yi's expression, the man also guessed what he was thinking, so he explained to him:
"Part of the reason why she didn't want to check anymore was because she no longer trusted the doctors in that hospital. She felt that after so long and so many checks, she didn't have a clue."

“Waste of time and money!”

"So this time she didn't go to the hospital near her home because she had a stomachache, but came here."

Lin Yi nodded slightly and said:
"Well, has her cough improved after going back?"

"Improve? How could there be any improvement!"

The man's emotions suddenly became a little excited, and then he said:

"She has been coughing almost every day since she came home for several months! Today she has a stomachache and can't care about coughing anymore!"

Lin Yi couldn't help frowning, and asked back:
"She has been coughing like this for several months?"

"Yeah! Then what else can I do, sometimes I feel like her lungs are about to cough up!"

The man nodded, shook his head and said.

"He's a ruthless person..."

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After a while, Wu Jiang came back with the patient.

At this time, the patient's condition was even worse than when he went out just now.

She clutched her stomach and could barely straighten up, her face was pale, as if she was going to collapse.

"Sit down now, sit down now!"

Seeing this, Lin Yi quickly got up and helped her to the chair.

"What the hell did I do? You want to torture me like this, cough..."

The woman forcefully squeezed out this sentence from her mouth.

"Honey, is your stomach hurting more now?"

Seeing this, the man hurried forward and said concernedly.

"Well, it hurts"

Wu Jiang was also sweating profusely, and said directly:
"During the time I took her for an examination just now, she went to the toilet four or five times, and suffered from diarrhea and vomiting."

"That's getting worse."

Lin Yi glanced at her, and then asked Lin Yi:
"What about her test results?"

"Her potassium ions were low, cardiac enzymes were abnormal, and her blood routine showed a high white blood cell count."

Wu Jiang quickly reported to Lin Yihui.

"This feeling must be caused by eating something, otherwise it shouldn't be like this for no reason."

Lin Yi frowned slightly after hearing the test results, and thought.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at the woman again and asked again:

"Are you sure you didn't eat anything messy?"

"I...I didn't."

The expression on the woman's face twisted into a ball, and she said in pain.

"I think it's better to take her to have a stomach wash, and then prescribe some symptomatic medicine for her to stabilize the situation."

Lin Yi looked at Wu Jiang and said to him.

"Well, okay, I'll take her there."

Seeing that the patient was in such pain, Wu Jiang didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly supported her to go out.

After they left, Lin Yi looked at the patient's husband again, and asked her:
"Did your wife not eat anything except breakfast today? Think about it carefully."

"What to eat?"

The man couldn't help but frowned, and then said:

"No, I just saw her having breakfast."

"And she made it clear just now that she didn't eat anything else."

Lin Yi shook his head and said directly:
"No, she's lying."

"What? She is lying? How is it possible!"

When the man heard it, he stared at Lin Yi with wide eyes as if he had seen a ghost, and then said:
"Doctor, you are not mistaken, how can she lie about whether she ate anything! There is no need to lie about this!"

"Although her expression was very painful just now, and her facial features were distorted together, I could still tell something was wrong through her eyes."

Lin Yi looked serious, stared at the man and said,

"And she will have this kind of situation, she must have eaten something."

"Recall carefully, has she had anything unusual recently? Or, maybe she needs to hide what she eats from you."

Seeing Lin Yi's affirmative expression, the man couldn't help but believe him a little bit, and then rubbed his head to think.

"I really can't imagine that she would hide from me what she eats! She has... nothing unusual recently, she just keeps coughing."

After thinking for a moment, he still shook his head and said with a frown.

"keep coughing………"

When the man mentioned this matter again, Lin Yi couldn't help muttering,
"Is her abdominal pain this time related to the cough?"

"No way, what is the connection between cough and abdominal pain? And the cough happened a long time ago."

As soon as the man heard it, he immediately shook his head in disapproval and denied it.

"What if... she ate something to treat her cough?"

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, finished speaking slowly, and then immediately looked at the man.

"This………"

The man was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Yi's energetic eyes.
"No way, even if she takes something to treat her cough, she must go to the pharmacy to get it."

"She didn't tell me that she went to the pharmacy to get the medicine, not to mention that she didn't need to hide this from me."

"It's useless for us to guess this here. I'll just ask my wife when she comes back later! She can't help but tell me the truth!"

After the man finished speaking, Lin Yi didn't respond.

Indeed, I really can't think of any possibility now, I'd better wait for her to come back later.

The two fell silent in the consulting room immediately.

After a while, Wu Jiang and the patient pushed the door open and walked in.

This time the patient's condition is obviously much better than before, and it doesn't look too painful.

"Honey, are you still feeling bad?"

Seeing her like this, the man immediately stepped forward and asked.

The woman stretched her expression, shook her head, and said:

"It's much better now. After washing the stomach and taking medicine, I feel that nothing is wrong! Let's go home!"

"go home?"

The man looked at her hesitantly, and then asked:

"Are you sure you can go home like this now?"

"Well, no problem, I can feel it in my own body!"

The woman nodded directly and said to him.

"OK then."

Seeing that she was so determined, the man could only nod his head.

Afterwards, the two greeted Lin Yi and the others, turned around and were about to walk out.

"Tell the truth, did you eat anything?"

Just as they were about to leave the door of the consulting room, Lin Yi asked suddenly.

Two seconds later, the woman turned her head sullenly, stared at Lin Yi and said:

"I said, what's the matter with you, doctor? I've told you several times, you didn't eat anything, what do you mean by not eating anything!"

Seeing this, the man on the side also echoed and said:

"Yeah, doctor, my wife is fine now, and you keep asking this question, what's the point?"

Lin Yi stepped forward, fixed his gaze on the woman, and said:
"You'd better tell me the truth, and don't hide anything."

"Although your condition has recovered now, you haven't solved the fundamental problem. After a while, the effect of the medicine will pass, and you may get sick again."

After hearing this, the woman couldn't bear it any longer, pointed at Lin Yi angrily, and said loudly:
"What do you mean? Why do you always suspect that I'm lying! Huh?"

Seeing this situation, Wu Jiang hurried up to smooth things over.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, don't get excited, we, Dr. Lin, are just asking."

Then, he turned his head to look at Lin Yi again, and whispered to him:

"Brother Yi, what are you doing? She already said she didn't eat. Why are you pestering me like this?"

Lin Yi ignored Wu Jiang, but stared at the front and sniffed.

"fishy smell?"

Lin Yi looked at the woman's finger stretched towards him, raised his eyebrows and said.

"What fishy smell? You pervert!"

The woman immediately withdrew her finger, stared at Lin Yi and said.

"Fishy...for cough..."

Lin Yi frowned tightly, and kept saying.

Suddenly, he raised his head abruptly, stared at the woman, and asked sharply:
"Did you eat fish guts raw?!"

"Eat fish gall?"

After listening, Wu Jiang and the patient's husband looked at Lin Yi suspiciously.

Lin Yi stared at the woman sharply, waiting for her answer.

"What... what fish gall, I don't understand."

The woman obviously dodged her eyes when she looked at Lin Yi, then looked aside and said.

"You must have heard someone say a folk remedy, in order to treat a cough, you ate raw fish gallbladder! Isn't that right?"

Lin Yi continued to ask.

The woman didn't speak this time, but looked away and straightened her hair.

"If you don't tell the truth, your stomach will hurt again in a while, so don't blame me for not reminding you."

Seeing her reaction, Lin Yi knew he had guessed right!

The man on the side looked at the situation in front of him, immediately grabbed her wife's shoulders with both hands, stared at her and asked:
"What's the matter with the raw fish gall the doctor said! Have you eaten this thing?"

The woman glanced at her husband, then said:

"Eating fish gallbladder has nothing to do with my abdominal pain. My second aunt told me that this folk remedy will not cause any problems."

"Then... that is to say, you did eat fish gallbladder raw?"

The man suddenly looked shocked, stared at her and asked.

It's hard for a woman to hide it, so she said directly:

"I ate three, what's wrong?"

"You're just messing around! Do you eat this kind of thing indiscriminately? It's ridiculous to treat a cough! Your second aunt came up with such a bad idea!"

The man suddenly became emotional and said loudly to her.
