Chapter 2958 the Trouble Caused by Calcium Supplementation

"Does the child still eat this every day?" Zheng Ren looked at it with lysine, and had some thoughts in his mind.

"Yes, Mr. Zheng. Lysine can assist the body to absorb calcium, and it has never been too long. I also wonder if the body lacks some trace elements." Dr. Zhao is particularly grateful for Zheng Ren's actions. She ran the inspection by herself, I'm afraid she can leave it there and get out of control.

"Huh?" Zheng Ren frowned, looked at the lysine box and asked, "How much is the dose?"

"Twice a day, one pill each time."

His attention was mainly on the old man, and he observed every detail clearly. Because Zheng Ren was not only considering the bluegrass cream, but also this lysine.

Sure enough, as expected, Zheng Ren saw the corner of the old man's mouth twitching slightly, he hesitated to speak.

"Auntie, what do you want to say?" Zheng Ren asked gently.

"This... this medicine..." the old man stammered, he just started and didn't say anything else.

"You said, it's okay." Zheng Ren smiled. "Your grandson does have some problems. Now we have to find out where the problem is."

"This medicine... I forgot what my girl said, and I 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, and he had instructed himself, how to eat according to the instructions!

The dosage on the instructions is for adults, so can it be the same!

"Ms. Zheng, it's okay." Dr. Zhao's voice trembled a little, but she didn't think the problem should be serious.

"If you have time, take your child to check the bone density, and then look at the femoral head. If you take a large amount of lysine for a long time, it may lead to a decrease in bone density. Coupled with the use of hormones, there may be serious femoral head necrosis." Zheng Ren said with a sigh.

"..."

Dr. Zhao was dumbfounded, decreased bone density? Isn't this a calcium supplement? Moreover, Boss Zheng asked to check the femoral head, and said that he suspected that the child had necrosis of the femoral head? !

"Teacher Zheng..." Dr. Zhao asked in a stammering manner, having been unable to speak in a hurry.

"The main function of lysine is to treat cold sores, but in China, it is taken as a calcium supplement and a drug for increasing height." Zheng Ren said, "There is actually no special need for this."

"Ah?" Dr. Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Isn't there any effect of calcium supplementation?"

"Yes." Zheng Ren said, "Lysine, called L-lysine in biochemistry books, is an amino acid necessary to maintain many body functions. People describe amino acids as the building blocks of proteins, because amino acids combine with other compounds to form this 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."

"This... isn't very good." Dr. Zhao was still defending, as if to prove that 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. If it's not frostbite, it's cold sores 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 collagen growth, and supports the immune system. And it can also help the body produce a variety of enzymes, antibodies and hormones."

"However, no matter what intake is too much, it is not good, and it may even become poison." Zheng Ren said, "Take the calcium supplement you mentioned, the body needs it to help absorb calcium and maintain healthy hormones, enzymes and antibody levels .”

"Because lysine helps the body absorb calcium, taking too much of it can lead to high calcium levels in the body, known as hypocalcemia."

"The human body needs balance. The blood calcium drops, and the consequences... I won't talk about that." Zheng Ren said, "Stop lysine first, and we'll talk about the rest after the investigation is over."

"Oh." Doctor Zhao replied.

"Boss, Chu Lin said that he will come over immediately."

"Okay, come here." Zheng Ren hesitated, but still agreed. It's okay to see Lao Liu's surgery, and it doesn't matter if Linger helps. It's just a little troublesome, Zheng Ren is slightly embarrassed.

He took the bluegrass ointment in his hand, "Doctor Zhao, I'll take this and test it to see if it contains hormones."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Zheng." Dr. Zhao bowed to Zheng Ren to express his thanks.

Zheng Ren didn't want to say anything more. A 2-year-old child has already shown symptoms of femoral head necrosis.

Zheng Ren is particularly reluctant to treat children's cases, one is because the specialty of pediatrics is very strong, which is different from that of adults. But more importantly, it is because the child itself is a flower, a hope. It withers before it blooms, no matter how you think about it, you feel uncomfortable.

Walking out of the doctor's duty room, I could hear Dr. Zhao arguing with her mother while weeping. This is housework, and Zheng Ren doesn't want to get involved.

"Boss Zheng, is the child okay?" Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect the matter to be so serious, she asked.

"Sister Lin, how can you say it's okay." Su Yun said, "Do you know what the side effects of eating too much lysine are?"

"I have also taken it for a while, and it is said that it can promote the synthesis of collagen in the body."

"You are an adult, which is different from Dr. Zhao's child. The child eats too much, and the blood calcium is low. Convulsions and convulsions may occur. But there is another possibility that the child is unable to move because of the low blood calcium. , willing to lie down in one position." Su Yun said his speculation.

Zheng Ren also thought so, the bluegrass ointment was only one factor, if we traced the source, we finally found the head of lysine.

"The child is sweating, enuresis, and always lying in the same position. Naturally, he is willing to have eczema. Then he touched the bluegrass ointment that contains hormones. It is said that bluegrass ointment is not cheap." Su Yun said.

"Pure traditional Chinese medicine preparations are not cheap. The selling point is that the medicine does not contain any industrial ingredients, and is pure natural, green and pollution-free." Lin Jiaojiao said.

"Yes, but can it be useful? Even if it is useful, it is a process of recuperation. If you want immediate results, how do you say it in Chinese medicine?"

"The medicine for tigers and wolves."

"Hey, yes." Su Yun said, "I guess this child needs to be cured, but it will take a lot of effort, not to mention how much it will cost. Generally, low blood calcium and a large amount of hormone intake can easily lead to diabetes. I hope the child does not have such a problem." Problem... Boss, what do you think?"

"I don't know, let's take the bluegrass ointment to be tested first." Although Zheng Ren knew the result, he couldn't just say no to Su Yun. Anyway, it won't delay the treatment, so I won't talk to Su Yun about it.
