This patient is a high school student aged 16. Because of nasal polyps, turbinate hypertrophy, sinusitis and upper frontal sinusitis, he has symptoms of dizziness, headache, poor memory, inattention and poor grades. So I went to the hospital for treatment, and the hospital suggested surgery.
Unexpectedly, these symptoms began to appear again two months after operation. In addition to symptoms such as stuffy nose, itchy nose and runny nose, what is more serious is that once the nose is blocked, it is accompanied by ipsilateral eyelid drooping, which seriously affects study and life. When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor said, "You have had an operation. Now it is recommended to continue to observe this situation." In this state, patients can only drop out of school and rest at home.
After asking around, the parents of the patients learned that Chinese medicine in Yurentang, Wuhan is very good at treating rhinitis. In just seven days, he can control recurrent rhinitis for ten years. The parents of the patients ignited a glimmer of hope and accompanied their children to Yurentang Chinese Medicine Museum.
The patient said: "The nasal congestion begins just a few days after surgery, which is usually unilateral, and as long as the nasal congestion is accompanied by ipsilateral eyelid drooping, it will lead to unclear things, and daily life and study will be seriously affected. Western medicine believes that it is a local nerve injury and there is no way to treat it. " At this point, the patient suddenly got excited and asked, "Is there really no anti-treatment?" I don't want to live like this all my life. I feel blind! "
After listening to the patient's self-report, Dr. Yu in Wuhan first explained the eyelid drooping caused by rhinitis: "Don't worry, Chinese medicine has a way to cure you! Western medicine believes that ptosis is caused by local nerve damage, which leads to the inability to control the normal movement of eye muscles. The root of the disease is rhinitis. I have had surgery before, and it is impossible to have another operation in a short time. I suggest you continue to observe. "
Wuhan Chinese medicine doctor Yu added: "Chinese medicine believes that the eyelid belongs to the spleen in the viscera, and the spleen governs the muscles, so it is called the meat wheel, so the meat wheel disease is often blamed on the spleen. Most of them are due to spleen deficiency and qi deficiency, and wind phlegm takes advantage of deficiency to block collaterals, resulting in muscle dystrophy and weakness. "
Observing the patient's tongue coating and pulse condition, it was found that the patient's tongue was thick with tooth marks, thick and greasy tongue coating and weak pulse condition. In addition, the patient suffers from lung diseases, such as nasal polyps, turbinate hypertrophy, sinusitis and upper frontal sinusitis. The remaining patients in Wuhan were diagnosed as spleen deficiency and lung weakness. During the treatment, he adopted the method of nourishing soil and strengthening gold, that is, replenishing spleen (soil) qi to achieve the purpose of replenishing lung (gold) qi.
Wuhan Chinese medicine doctor Yu first prescribed seven doses of medicine to patients, mainly to clear the nose and strengthen the muscles; Supplemented by regulating spleen and stomach and invigorating lung qi, the symptoms of nasal congestion and drooping eyelids can be quickly solved. The patient took a pair of traditional Chinese medicine, and his nose was blocked for several weeks and passed immediately; After taking three doses of traditional Chinese medicine, the degree of eyelid drooping began to reduce a lot.
Seven days later, the patient came to Yurentang Chinese Medicine Museum for follow-up. The patient said: basically returned to normal, the nose can breathe normally, and the eyelids can be controlled in most cases, which will not affect normal life. Later, Dr. Yu prescribed seven kinds of drugs to consolidate the therapeutic effect.
When the patient came back for follow-up, the symptoms of nasal congestion and ptosis had all been eliminated, but there were still teeth marks on the tongue, and the tongue coating was thick and greasy, indicating that the weakness of spleen and lung had not improved. Therefore, Jinwen Chinese medicine pays attention to regulating the spleen and lungs of patients, so that the spleen and lungs can restore normal physiological functions and achieve the effect of curing diseases.
The traditional Chinese medicine of invigorating spleen, regulating stomach and invigorating lung qi is mainly combined with the traditional Chinese medicine of strengthening body resistance, dredging nose and inducing resuscitation to strengthen spleen and benefit lung, improve the healthy qi of patients and prevent the recurrence of rhinitis and ptosis.
After taking Chinese medicine for one and a half months, the patient's tongue coating and pulse condition are no different from those of normal people, and he has fully recovered and can go back to school to start studying. The symptoms of rhinitis and ptosis did not recur.
The patient belongs to the typical spleen deficiency and lung weakness syndrome, and the weakness of spleen and stomach leads to lung qi deficiency.
1. Spleen deficiency? There are "five rounds of theory" in ophthalmology of traditional Chinese medicine. Five wheels refer to the meat wheel, blood wheel, air wheel, wind wheel and water wheel, which are the five parts of the eyes. The meat wheel includes upper and lower eyelids and inner eyelids, which are formed by the essence of spleen and soil. Due to the patient's spleen deficiency, the physiological function of the "spleen main muscle" is abnormal, the muscle can not be adjusted normally, and the flesh wheel is abnormal, resulting in ptosis.
2. Weak lungs? "Spleen is the source of phlegm, and lung is the storage of phlegm". Weak spleen leads to water dampness, which is endogenous, and phlegm becomes drink, that is, spleen deficiency leads to phlegm dampness; When phlegm-dampness is introduced into the lungs, it will gather in the lungs, leading to weak lung qi, causing a series of lung diseases such as nasal polyps, hypertrophy of the upper turbinate, sinusitis and upper frontal sinusitis.
The treatment is mainly to strengthen the spleen and benefit the lungs, treating both the symptoms and the root causes.
To eliminate nasal congestion, nasal itching, runny nose and other rhinitis symptoms, it is necessary to dredge nasal orifices and replenish lung qi. Traditional Chinese medicines such as Flos Magnoliae, Fructus Xanthii and bitter almond are commonly used in the prescription. To treat ptosis symptoms, it is necessary to regulate the spleen and stomach, strengthen muscles, restore the function of the spleen and stomach to normal, and enable patients to control eyelid opening and closing symptoms.
After the symptoms are eliminated, it is not a matter of a few days, but often takes one to two months. It is recommended to take ointment for treatment. "The ointment will turn the medicine juice into fat liquid and nourish the dull and weak internal organs." Taking ointment to regulate the spleen and stomach will get twice the result with half the effort.
