Put your phone on, open the live streaming platform, and you’ll see the familiar homepage recommendations.

Qin Qing also logged into her own live broadcast account. In just three seconds, the number of fans and popularity soared instantly, and the numbers on the screen jumped so fast that it was dazzling.

"Hello everyone, we meet again, welcome to my live broadcast room!" Qin Qing also greeted the camera with a smile. Her voice was gentle and kind, making people want to stay involuntarily.

【Dr. Qin, we meet again! 】

【Ahhhhhhh Doctor Qin, help me, I have small bubbles on my fingers, the bubbles have turned into water, and the skin around them has rotted, wuwuwu, I have spent more than ten thousand and it is still not healed, before it was just my fingers, now it is my entire palm, what should I do? (°ー°〃) Do I have to peel off a layer of skin? 】

[Dr. Qin, what should I do if I have a toothache? I am afraid of having my teeth fixed. Can you make a toothpaste to treat toothache? Or a medicine for backache? I really can't take it anymore, it hurts so much! ]

[Doctor Qin, can you give me some medicine for the odor of vaginal discharge? Many girls don't want to see a gynecologist. Nowadays, most gynecologists are men——]

[Leukemia, sir, can leukemia be cured? My classmate has leukemia and all her hair has fallen out. I went to see her yesterday and she was so skinny that she was just skin and bones.]

...

The barrage of comments filled the screen like a waterfall, and the enthusiasm of the fans instantly ignited the entire live broadcast room. Although many of them came to consult medical treatment, they were soon overwhelmed by various rewards.

Qin Qing also looked at these familiar rewarding users. The corners of her mouth twitched. Looking at the number one on the reward ranking list, she held her forehead with her hand.

"I'm very happy that everyone supports my live broadcast, but the purpose of my live broadcast is to share health knowledge, not to accept tips. If you really want to tip me, you can give me some gold beans or something. It's just a token of your appreciation. After all, it's not easy to make money these days."

There was a hint of seriousness in Qin Qingye's tone; she didn't want her fans to misunderstand her original intention.

"Next, let's talk about the opening remarks as usual. Today we are discussing how to quickly recover from a mild or high fever without medication."

"As we all know, in traditional Chinese medicine theory, high fever is usually divided into two types: 'internal heat' and 'external heat'. These two types of high fever differ in causes, symptoms and treatments."

“The causes of internal heat are mostly caused by factors such as dysfunction of internal organs, emotional distress, and improper diet.”

"The symptoms are persistent high fever, accompanied by dry mouth, constipation, yellow urine, red tongue and yellow fur. The treatment is simple, just clear away heat and detoxify, nourish yin and reduce fire. Commonly used Chinese medicines include Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Honeysuckle, Forsythia suspensa, etc."

"As for the causes of exogenous heat, they are mostly caused by invasion of external evils such as wind-cold, dampness, and heat, and the symptoms are only fever accompanied by aversion to cold, headache, body pain, no sweating or poor sweating, etc."

"For the treatment of external heat, it is necessary to dispel the cold, clear away heat and detoxify. Commonly used Chinese medicines include ephedra, cinnamon twig, white peony root, ginger, etc."

"It should be noted that the diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine needs to be determined according to the patient's specific symptoms and constitution, so in actual application, it should be diagnosed and treated by professional traditional Chinese medicine practitioners."

"Of course, if the high fever is accompanied by severe symptoms such as convulsions, impaired consciousness, etc., you should seek medical attention immediately."

"So, in traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment of high fever in children usually focuses on harmonizing yin and yang, clearing away heat and detoxifying."

"The following are several methods that can quickly reduce children's high fever. The first is physical cooling, which everyone knows."

"Use warm water and white wine to wipe the child's body, especially the armpits, groin, neck and palms, which are rich in large blood vessels, to help dissipate heat. When bathing your child, use warm water instead of cold water to prevent the child from catching a cold."

"If there is a Chinese patent medicine, Xiaoer Qingre Oral Liquid has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, which is suitable for children with high fever symptoms. Honeysuckle dew is also OK, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and can be given to children to drink."

"Yinqiao Powder is suitable for high fever caused by wind-heat cold, with symptoms including fever, sore throat, cough, etc. Sangju Drink is suitable for wind-heat cold, with symptoms including fever, cough, thirst, etc."

"Another method is massage. For example, rubbing the Dazhui point: Use your thumb or middle finger to rub the Dazhui point (located in the depression below the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra in the neck), which helps to clear away heat and relieve symptoms."

"Rub the Quchi point with your thumb or middle finger (located on the elbow, at the midpoint of the line connecting the Chize point and the lateral epicondyle of the humerus), which helps to clear away heat and reduce the symptoms."

"Another thing is to adjust the diet. Give your child warm water to keep him hydrated. Avoid greasy, spicy and indigestible foods. You can choose light porridge or noodles."

"If a child has a high fever of more than 38.5 degrees Celsius, or if it persists, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child has emergency symptoms such as convulsions, breathing difficulties, or confusion, don't think about anything else and send him to the hospital immediately."

"Of course, there is also a bloodletting technique for first aid for children with high fever. I talked about bloodletting technique last time, you should still remember it."

"Let me briefly explain it again. Some fans may not have heard that bloodletting is to puncture specific acupuncture points or parts to release an appropriate amount of blood in order to achieve the purpose of clearing away heat, detoxifying and unblocking meridians."

"This method is suitable for children with persistent high fever and weak constitution, but it should be performed with caution and under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner."

Qin Qing also continued: "Bloodlet is an ancient Chinese medicine treatment method, but in modern medicine, it is often considered an auxiliary treatment."

"For children with high fever, bloodletting is usually performed at the Quze point on the elbow, the Neiguan point on the wrist, or the Taichong point on the foot. By piercing the skin and releasing an appropriate amount of blood, it can play a role in clearing away heat and detoxifying, and unblocking the meridians."

"Of course, bloodletting is not a method that is suitable for all cases of high fever. It needs to be determined based on the child's specific constitution and condition."

"During the operation, the needle must be kept clean and sterilized to avoid infection. At the same time, the child's reaction should be closely observed after bloodletting. If there is any abnormality, stop immediately and seek professional medical help."

"I won't say much about this. If parents are worried that their children will have a persistent high fever, they can seek help from some Chinese medicine practitioners and ask them to teach them these acupuncture points. They may be useful in the future."

"Of course, I hope you will never need to use it. Well, without further ado, we will start to randomly select three patients. As usual, those who are not sick should not participate, and leave the opportunity to those who need it. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Now I'm going to set up the turntable, everyone get ready."

Qin Qing also immediately set up the turntable after she finished speaking. It was so fast, as if it had been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for her order.

As soon as the turntable came out, the number of fans and popularity soared like a rocket, so fast that it attracted many anchors to come and watch.

The turntable soon stopped, and three user names suddenly appeared in the front: "September 30th", "Little Bear Sauce", and "Ali Ali".
