Luo Ziming said: "Yes, it's been a long time, it's almost several years, but it's just a few times. I'm almost used to having a dry cough from time to time."

"Why didn't you say it earlier if you have such a long time of coughing? You didn't write it on your medical record. Have you never been to the hospital for a check-up?" Zhou Yewu's tone became even more serious.

Luo Ziming realized that the problem was extraordinary and quickly replied: "I started to have CT when I started to have a dry cough a few years ago, and there was no problem. Some doctors said I had bronchitis and prescribed some cough medicines for me. Later, I found the medicine myself. The medicine I have been taking recently was quite effective. I haven't had a dry cough for a while, and it only started again in the past two days."

"What kind of cough medicine do you drink?" Zhou Yewu asked. The last question was found in the blood pressure medicine he concealed. His intuition told himself that this might be the case this time.

"It's just a very common medicine, licorice tablets, very cheap. There are more than 100 medicines per box, which only costs a few dollars, so I keep drinking them." Luo Ziming said with confusion. He didn't think there was anything wrong with licorice tablets.

"What? Are compound licorice slices?" Zhou Yewu asked excitedly.

"Yes, it's called this, it tastes weird. It's really hard for me to swallow it at first, but I can still accept it after a long time. After all, this medicine is really effective." Luo Ziming replied. He still didn't know why the doctor was so interested in this licorice tablet that he thought was very ordinary.

"How many pieces do you usually eat? Think about it carefully and tell me more specific." Zhou Yewu continued to ask.

"It's hard to say. It usually takes five tablets at a time, three times a day. But if the dry cough is severe, I will increase the dose, including ten tablets at a time, but there are very few at this time." Luo Ziming replied.

"Which doctor asked you to eat so much? I remember the instructions clearly state that it is at most fifteen tablets a day. If you continue to eat like this, there will definitely be big problems." Zhou Yewu's tone became more and more excited.

"Isn't this just an ordinary cough medicine? Why can't there be a big problem? I didn't read the instructions, and the doctor didn't tell me that I couldn't take more. I thought it would be better to take a little more, so I made an initiative to add the dosage without authorization." Luo Ziming was also excited. He didn't understand how the doctor pinched this ordinary cough medicine and refused to let go.

"You, this compound licorice tablet is the real cause of hypokalemia. If you told me last time you took this medicine, I would have solved your problem long ago." Zhou Yewu said seriously.

Luo Ziming was a little unbelievable. How could ordinary cough medicine make him suffer from other diseases? Liu Qianqian was also unbelievable.

Zhou Yewu explained: "This compound licorice tablet has two words: compound, which is a synthetic medicine. Like the blood pressure-lowering medicine you used to contain two ingredients. One is licorice cream, which is this ingredient that causes you to suffer from hypokalemia. What's more serious is its other ingredient - opiate powder. This ingredient used to be opium. Eating too much will definitely make you addicted. Even if you have a cough, it will be more difficult to quit it."

"It's so serious!" The two people shouted almost in unison, their hearts beating non-stop, and things completely developed to an irreversible situation.

"Now, do a CT immediately to check if there is any problem with your lungs. The most important thing is that you can't take the compound licorice tablets again in the future." Zhou Yewu reminded seriously. If he hadn't discovered his dry cough at the critical moment, it would have been getting worse and worse.

However, he still felt a little guilty. After all, when he was there the first two times, he focused on the blood pressure-lowering medicine. He bought this cough medicine compound licorice tablet privately by himself. He didn't have any medical records at all, but he was still careless.

The couple went to the CT room for examination without any hesitation, but did not find any problems with his lungs. This was a blessing in disguise.

Zhou Yewu arranged for a respiratory doctor Liao Yuxuan to do a comprehensive examination for him and prescribe some other cough medicine.

"If you continue to take this compound licorice tablet, you may need to go to drug rehabilitation before you can quit your addiction. I will prescribe other cough medicines for you, and the effect is good. The key is that you won't get addicted, so you can take it with confidence." Liao Yuxuan said seriously.

As a respiratory doctor, he really encountered this situation. He became addicted to taking compound licorice tablets, and finally had to quit forcibly.

After taking new licorice tablets, potassium chlorate and juice, seven days later, Luo Ziming returned to the hospital for a follow-up visit. The potassium ion content finally returned to normal. After that, he had lost appetite and weak limbs again. He finally confirmed that his body had completely returned to normal.

"I really thank you this time. I really didn't know before that licorice tablets would be addictive. If I hadn't met you, I would have been in danger." Luo Ziming said with his hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude.

Liu Qianqian also said gratefully: "Yes, we almost caused great trouble for ourselves. When he took this medicine, I thought it was quite good. It was cheap and had good effect. I really didn't expect that drinking too much licorice tablet would be dangerous."

"No matter how good the medicine is, it must be moderate. Even if you teach a lesson this time, if you get sick again, don't take medicine by yourself. You must do it under the guidance of a doctor." Zhou Yewu smiled. He knew very well that they would remember what they said, after all, one's mistakes will lead to wisdom, let alone the lesson this time is so heavy.

"We will definitely say thank you again." Luo Ziming said sincerely.

Although Zhou Yewu had said it several times, the couple still thanked him stubbornly again and again. He remembered the night he just met them. Liu Qianqian accused Luo Ziming of being too stubborn. It seemed that they were both the same, and it really responded to the old saying: "It's not a family, you won't go into the family."

After sending them to the gate, Zhou Yewu turned around and returned to the office to continue his journey.

The road to a doctor is long and arduous. He will continue to seek and move forward bravely.

Zhou Yewu looked at the exclamation mark that suddenly appeared on the emergency computer...

"Damn, are there any more patients?" dd

As expected, the nurse's phone number came over in a short while.

"Doctor Zhou, there is a child who has a cough and fever."

"I have a cough and fever, so I'm going to the pediatric department. Why do I do our emergency department? Isn't there an emergency department in the pediatric department?"

"Pediatrics think it's a medical problem, so I'll ask for emergency screening first."

"Screencing? I'm afraid it's lazy."

Zhou Yewu's head tilted and almost wanted to complain about this pediatrics.

But the resentment and complaint in the eyes disappeared without realizing it.

"Just treat it as a good thing."
