Chapter 2959 The trouble caused by calcium supplements

Does the child still eat this every day? Zheng Ren took a look at the Lai Min and had some thoughts in his mind.

Yes, teacher Zheng. Lisa can help the body absorb calcium, but it hasnt grown much. Im suspecting that its because the body is lacking some trace elements. Dr. Zhao was especially grateful for Zheng Rens actions. If she had run the test on her own, she would probably have been thrown away.

What? Zheng Ren frowned as he looked at the box of lymin and asked,how much do you want?

Two times a day, one pill each time.

His attention was mainly on the old man, and he observed every detail very clearly. This was because Zheng Ren was not only considering the lancao cream, but also the issue of the lycamp.

As expected, Zheng Ren saw the old mans mouth move slightly as he stood at the door. He wanted to say something but stopped.

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

This This medicine The old man stammered and did not say anything more.

Please say it, its fine. Zheng Ren smiled and said,theres indeed something wrong with your grandson. Now, we have to find out where the problem is.

This medicine I forgot what my lady said. I just 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 already reminded her not to eat according to the instructions!

The dosage on the instruction manual was for adults. How could it be the same?

Teacher Zheng, is there anything wrong? Dr. Zhaos voice trembled a little, but she felt that it shouldnt be a big problem.

When you have time, bring the child to get his bone density checked. Then, look at his femur. If he takes too much of Lai Min over a long period of time, it may cause his bone density to decrease. In addition, he has also used hormones. In serious cases, his femur may even be necrotic. Zheng Ren sighed.

Dr. Zhao was dumbfounded. Reduced bone density? Isnt this a calcium supplement? And boss Zheng asked them to check the childs femur, and he even said that he suspected that the child had femur necrosis?

Teacher Zheng Dr. Zhao was so anxious that he stuttered.

The main use of lycamp is to treat cold sores, but in China, its taken as a calcium supplement and a medicine to increase ones height. Zheng Ren said,theres no need for that.

Ah? Dr. Zhao was stunned for a moment.It doesnt have the effect of calcium supplement?

There is. Zheng Ren replied,its called L-lycamp in the book on Biochemistry. Its an essential amino acid for maintaining many body functions. People describe amino acids as a component of protein because amino acids combine with other compounds to form a large number of nutrients.

We defined lycamp as an essential amino acid because it is different from other amino acids. The human body can not synthesize lycamp. Thats why its said that you can only get it from food.

This Isnt this good? Dr. Zhao was still trying to explain as if the childs illness would be cured if Zheng Ren was proven wrong.

Its not like that. Zheng Ren sighed and said,its mainly used to treat cold sores. If its not chilblains, then its the cold sores that attack the lips and corners of the lips. This is the main effect of lycamp.

Of course, it also helps the human body absorb calcium, iron, and zinc, promotes the growth of collagen, and supports the immune system. It can also help the human body to produce a variety of enzymes, antibodies, and hormones.

However, no matter what it is, its not good to have too much of it. It might even turn into poison. Zheng Ren said,lets take the calcium supplement you mentioned as an example. The body needs it to help absorb calcium and maintain healthy hormone, enzyme, and antibody levels.

As it helps the body absorb calcium, too much of it will cause the bodys calcium level to be too high, which is what is known as low calcium in blood.

The human body needs to be balanced. If the calcium in blood is reduced, the consequences I wont say much about this. Zheng Ren said,stop the lysing for now. Well talk about the rest after were done with the investigation.

Oh, oh. Dr. Zhao replied.

Boss, Chief Lin said hell be here soon.

Alright, come over. Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment, but he still agreed. He could also watch old Liu perform the surgery, and it was fine to ask Lin Ge for help. It was just a little troublesome, and Zheng Ren was a little embarra.s.sed.

He held the ointment in his hand and said,Dr. Zhao, Ill take this away and do a test to see if it contains any hormones.

Sorry to trouble you, teacher Zheng. Dr. Zhao bowed to Zheng Ren to express his grat.i.tude.

Zheng Ren didnt want to say much. A two-year-old child already had symptoms of femur necrosis. Even if it was only stage one, it would be difficult to handle in the future.

Zheng Ren was especially unwilling to take on cases involving children. Firstly, it was because Pediatrics was very professional and different from adults. But the main reason was that the child was a flower, a hope. It was uncomfortable to think that it was withering before it even bloomed.

When she walked out of the doctors on-call room, she could hear Dr. Zhao quarreling with her mother while sobbing. This was a family matter, and Zheng Ren didnt want to get involved.

Boss Zheng, is the child alright? Lin Jiaojiao asked, not expecting the situation to be so serious.

Sister Lin, how can you say that its fine? Su Yun said,do you know the side effects of eating too much lycamp?

Ive eaten it for a while too. It said that it can promote the synthesis of collagen in the body.

Youre an adult, different from Dr. Zhaos children. If the child ate too much, low blood calcium, convulsions, and so on could occur. However, there is another possibility. It is because of low blood calcium that the child is unable to move and is willing to lie down in one position. Su Yun shared her speculations.

Zheng Ren thought so too. The lancao cream was only one of the reasons. If one were to trace the root of the problem, they would eventually find the root of the problem.

The child perspired, peed, and always lay in the same position. Naturally, he would be willing to have rash. Then, I touched some hormonal ointment. Speaking of which, this ointment isnt cheap. Su Yun said.

Pure Chinese medicine isnt cheap. The selling point is that the medicine doesnt contain any industrial ingredients. Its all natural, green, and pollution-free. Lin Jiaojiao said.

Yes, but is it useful? Even if it was useful, it would be a nursing process. If you want immediate results, what does it say in Chinese medicine?

The medicine of Tigers and wolves.

Heh, yeah. Su Yun said,I think we have to treat this child, but it will take a lot of effort. I dont even know how much it will cost. Low calcium levels and high hormone intake can easily lead to diabetes. I hope the child doesnt have this problem Boss, what do you think?

I dont know. Lets take the lancao cream for testing first. Although Zheng Ren knew the outcome, he could not just say no to Su Yun. Anyway, it wouldnt delay the treatment, so he didnt say this to Su Yun.
