The woman sighed, "Doctor, my son has had a cold for over a month. He's had injections, taken medicine, and even had massage, but it keeps coming and going, and he always coughs. I don't know what to do anymore, so I came to see if a Chinese medicine doctor could help."
Ye Tian took the child's pulse and observed him for a moment. "There's inflammation in his lungs. Have you had an X-ray?"
The woman replied, "Yes, I have. The doctor said it was pediatric pneumonia. We treated it as pediatric pneumonia, but the effect wasn't very good."
Ye Tian listened intently to the child's breathing and pressed on his chest a few times. "A month ago, did your child choke on anything?"
The woman thought for a moment and then said, "Yes, I remember last month, my son was eating jelly and choked. He coughed very badly then, but he got better afterward."
Ye Tian stated, "That's it. The jelly fragments entered his trachea and small alveoli. Because it's semi-solid, it blocked some of the bronchioles, causing inflammation."
The woman looked self-reproachful. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given him those things. Doctor, is there a way to cure it?"
Ye Tian nodded. "Let me try."
He asked the woman to lay the child flat, placed his hands under the child's ribs, and with a slight exertion of force, the child began to cough violently. After a few coughs, he spat out a mouthful of mucus, containing dozens of small pieces, sesame-seed sized, all additives from the jelly.
Ye Tian repeated this several times. Each time, the child coughed out some fragments. After seven or eight repetitions, the situation subsided.
The child coughed painfully and started crying loudly. Ye Tian comforted him, "Little fellow, you're all better now. Don't cry." Da Feng Novel Network.
Seeing the substance the child had coughed up, the woman asked joyfully, "Doctor, has it all come out?"
Ye Tian replied, "Yes, mostly. Even if a little remains, it won't be a big problem. I'll write a few prescriptions for you to take home for the child."
The woman looked troubled. "My child can't take herbal decoctions; he vomits them up."
Ye Tian asked, "Does he eat fruit?"
The woman nodded. "Yes."
"Then I'll write you a fruit-based prescription." As he spoke, he wrote a prescription and handed it to the woman.
Yan Lizhi looked at it and saw it contained only edible items like pears and sesame seeds, thirteen in total.
The woman smiled. "My son can eat these things."
After the woman left, more patients gradually arrived. The parents of these patients, after their children were cured, had posted on social media, praising Ye Tian's excellent medical skills.
Parents who saw these messages brought their children for treatment.
Ye Tian's medical skills were extremely refined, and he always found the quickest ways to resolve children's illnesses, with immediate results. Therefore, after treating over a dozen sick children, a long queue had formed outside his consultation room.
The smile on Xu Wen's face grew wider. He nudged the dazed Yan Lizhi. "How about it, do you believe it now?"
Yan Lizhi nodded vigorously. "Truly a divine doctor!"
He had previously called Ye Tian "Little Ye," then "Dr. Ye," and now he called him "Divine Doctor Ye!"
Ye Tian saw patients from two in the afternoon until five-thirty. It was supposed to be the end of his shift, but seeing the many people still waiting, he extended his consultation hours until seven.
Even so, some people who didn't get a number left in disappointment. Yan Lizhi quickly said, "Esteemed parents, Divine Doctor Ye will be here again tomorrow. I'll have the nurses give each of you a numbered slip. Come back early tomorrow morning with your slips to be seen, and you won't have to queue again."
The crowd was then satisfied and dispersed.
After working for several hours, Ye Tian was a bit tired.
Yan Lizhi smiled. "Divine Doctor Ye, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Shall we go for a few drinks?"
Ye Tian was also hungry. "Alright, then I won't be polite to the director."
Yan Lizhi chuckled. "I know a restaurant with good food, and I have a few bottles of good wine stored there. Let's go now!"
