Recently, I met a patient in the outpatient clinic, and I found it interesting to summarize during the diagnosis and treatment. I will share it with you. About two months ago, I was in the clinic when a patient came in and asked me if I could cure his sweating after falling asleep in the evening. He told me that he had been to several hospitals and doctors for treatment of this disease, but with little success. He felt very frustrated because every day he would go to bed at night and sweat, wetting his clothes and even his bed sheets and bedding, and the next day he would wake up tired and sluggish, unable to work. He also has symptoms such as bitterness in his mouth, a bad taste in his mouth, and sticky and unpleasant stools. She felt that her pulse was slippery and looked at her tongue, which was dark red with a thick yellow coating. Based on the basic formula of Gan Lu Disinfectant Dan, we added and reduced the formula as follows: Scutellaria Baicalensis 12g, Yin Chen 12g, Huo Xiang 10g, Bai Kou Ren 10g, Ma Ren 12g, Che Qian Zi 10g, Lian Qiao 10g, Zhe Bei 10g, Shi Calamus 10g. First use seven pairs, then adjust. Half a month later, the patient returned to the clinic and told me that on the day the formula was introduced, the night sweats were greatly reduced, and after three payments of the formula, the sweats stopped at night, the sleep improved every day, and the spirit improved. However, a few days after he stopped taking the medicine, he had a recurrence. I had to come back to the doctor. He said, “This medicine is good, but I can’t stop it. I cut the patient’s pulse. The pulse was not slippery, but it was sunken and stringy, and the tongue was white and thick. The bitterness in the mouth disappeared and the bad taste in the mouth disappeared. I think the evidence of damp-heat is really lingering, we must pursue it and not give it a chance to breathe. Otherwise it will resurface. So I added 10 grams of Perilla and 10 grams of Bian Cao. The patient was instructed to take the medicine for half a month. After taking the medicine, the patient returned to the clinic and said he did not sweat after taking the medicine. I saw the patient, tongue light red coating white slightly greasy. The pulse was thin and stringent. I asked the patient to stop taking the medicine and observe, and it has not recurred since. The interesting thing about this case is that night sweats are considered to be caused by Yin deficiency in the body in both classical Chinese medicine and textbooks. The lung yin deficiency, kidney yin deficiency, liver and kidney yin deficiency are all causes of night sweats, but I have not heard that spleen and stomach damp heat can cause night sweats. If you use the formula for nourishing Yin and clearing heat to treat this case, you will instead suffer from “false false real” precautions, causing the disease to become more serious. From this point of view, Chinese medicine doctors should always pay attention to the diagnosis and treatment, the prescription with the evidence, the disease from the evidence of the machine, can not be the clouds and clouds. And can not mud the ancient unchanged.
