2956 The calamity of calcium supplementation
"Does the child still eat this every day?" Zheng Ren looked at him with lysine and had some thoughts in his mind.
"Yes, Teacher Zheng. Lysine can assist the body's calcium absorption, and it has not been too long. I also doubt whether the body lacks trace elements or the like." Dr. Zhao was particularly grateful to Zheng Ren's actions. If she had done the test by herself, she would probably throw it to the point that would be out of control.
"Huh?" Zheng Ren frowned and looked at the box of lysine and asked, "What dosage should be taken?"
“Twice a day, one pill at a time.”
His attention was mainly focused on the old man, and every detail was observed very clearly. Because Zheng Ren considered that it was not only orchid paste, but also lysine.
Sure enough, as expected, Zheng Ren saw the corner of his mouth slightly moving when the old man standing at the door, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
"Auntie, what are you going to say?" Zheng Ren asked gently.
"This...this medicine..." the old man stammered, and stopped talking after only prescription.
"You said, it's okay." Zheng Ren smiled, "Your grandson has a problem. Now we have to find out where the problem lies."
"This medicine... I forgot what my girl said, and took 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 told me how to eat according to the instructions!
The instructions are the dosage for adults, so can it be the same?
"Teacher Zheng, there's nothing wrong." Dr. Zhao's voice was a little trembling, but she felt that the problem should not be big.
"If you have time to hold your child and check the bone density, then look at the femoral head. If you take lysine orally for a long time, it may lead to a decrease in bone density. In addition, if you use hormones, it may be even more serious about femoral head necrosis." Zheng Ren sighed and said.
“…”
Dr. Zhao was stunned. The bone density was reduced? Isn’t this a calcium supplement? Moreover, Boss Zheng asked the femoral head to check, and said that he suspected that the child had femoral head necrosis?!
"Teacher Zheng..." Dr. Zhao said anxiously and stammered.
"The main function of lysine is to treat cold sores, but in China it is taken as a calcium supplement and elevation drug." Zheng Ren said, "This is actually not particularly necessary."
"Ah?" Dr. Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Is there no calcium supplementation effect?"
"Yes," Zheng Ren said, "lysine, called l-lysine in biochemical books, is an amino acid necessary to maintain many body functions. People describe amino acids as components of proteins because amino acids combine with other compounds to form this macronutrient."
"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... quite good?" Dr. Zhao was still defending, as if it proved that Zheng Ren was wrong and the child's illness would be cured.
"It's not like this." Zheng Ren sighed and said, "The main function is to treat cold sores, either frostbite, or cold sores on the lips and corners of the lips. This is the main effect 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 no matter what intake is too much, it may even turn into poison." Zheng Ren said, "For example, you are talking about calcium supplementation. The body needs it to help absorb calcium and maintain healthy hormones, enzymes and antibodies."
"Because lysine helps the body absorb calcium, intake of too much will cause excessive calcium levels in the body, which is called hypocalcification."
"The human body needs balance. If the blood calcium is reduced, the consequences... I won't say much about this." Zheng Ren said, "Stop lysine first, and talk about the others after the examination."
"Oh," Dr. Zhao replied.
"Boss, Director Lin said he will come over right away."
"Okay, come here." Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment, but he still responded. It was okay to see that Old Liu had surgery, so it didn't matter if Lin Ge helped. It was just a little troublesome, and Zheng Ren felt a little embarrassed.
He held the orchid paste in his hand, "Dr. Zhao, I'll take this and test it to see if it contains hormones."
"Please, Teacher Zheng." Dr. Zhao bowed to Zheng Ren and expressed his gratitude.
Zheng Ren didn't want to say anything more. A 2-year-old child has symptoms of femoral head necrosis. Even if it is only in the first phase, it will not be easy to deal with in the future.
Zheng Ren is particularly reluctant to receive the child's case, because the pediatrics are very professional, which is different from adults. But the more important thing is that the child is a flower and hope. He withered before it blooms, and he feels uncomfortable no matter how he thinks.
When I walked out of the doctor's duty room, I could hear the sound of Dr. Zhao's quarrel with her mother while sobbing. This is the housework, and Zheng Ren didn't want to get involved.
"Boss Zheng, the child is fine." Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect that the matter would be so serious, she asked.
"Sister Lin, how can you say it's okay?" Su Yun said, "Do you know the sequelae of taking too much lysine?"
"I have also taken it for a while, saying it can promote the synthesis of collagen in the body."
"You are an adult, different from Dr. Zhao's children. The amount of children eat too much, low blood calcium, convulsions, and convulsions may occur. But there is another possibility, because the blood calcium is low, the child is unable to move and is willing to lie down in the same position." Su Yun said his own speculation.
Zheng Ren also thought so. Orchid cream is just a factor. If you trace the root cause, you finally found the lysine head.
"The child sweats and enures, and always lie down in the same position, so he is naturally willing to develop eczema. Then he touches the orchid paste containing hormones. By the way, the orchid paste is not cheap." Su Yun said.
"Pure Chinese medicine preparations are not cheap by themselves. 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 can it be useful? Even if it is useful, it is a conditioning process. If you want to achieve immediate results, what does it mean in traditional Chinese medicine?"
"The medicine for tigers and wolves."
"Hey, that's right." Su Yun said, "I guess this child needs to be cured, but I have to make great efforts. I don't even say how much it costs. Generally, hypocalcemia, a large amount of hormone intake can easily lead to diabetes. I hope the child has no problem... Boss, what do you think?"
