Recently, the news that a Pingdingshan woman "infected with new crown taking medicine randomly caused liver failure" has sparked heated discussions among netizens.
The doctor said that the woman was overly panicked because of the new coronavirus and started taking medicine frequently as soon as she had a fever. In the end, the liver was damaged due to taking medicine, and began to feel weak, the urine turned yellow, and finally the whole person was dyed yellow. He was urgently transferred to a hospital in Zhengzhou ICU for emergency treatment.
This kind of incident is unique. A woman in Shenzhen also suffered from serious allergies in the drug due to random medication.
After the woman developed symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, etc., she immediately went to a pharmacy near her home to buy 7 cold cough medicines, including azithromycin, Kerpin, and Chetrin. After mixing these medicines for one day, the woman found that her face was red and swollen and had some small pustules, but she didn't care, and she felt that her skin might be slightly allergic and would be cured in a while.
On the second day, the redness and swelling on her face became even worse, and even her eyes were swollen and squeezed into a slit; red spots appeared on her face, abdomen, back and limbs, and the erythema was covered with dense small pustules, which made her itchy. In addition to the changes in the skin, the woman also had difficulty breathing and fever, and even had a fever of 39℃.
I felt something was wrong. Ms. Zhou immediately went to Shenzhen People's Hospital for treatment. After a dermatologist checked it and combined with Ms. Zhou's previous medication history, the doctor judged that this was a severe drug rash - acute generalized erection impotence (AGEP), and suggested that she be hospitalized immediately. Fortunately, the woman was treated in time and was discharged from the hospital after anti-allergic treatment and symptomatic treatment.
During the epidemic, many citizens began to follow the trend to stock up on medicine, but they should not take medicine indiscriminately, especially when taking multiple medicines in a mixed manner, there may be big problems. Previously, at the Beijing epidemic prevention and control press conference, Yang Yiheng, deputy director of the Beijing Pharmacy Quality Control Center, deputy director of the Pharmacy Department of Peking University Third Hospital, and chief pharmacist, reminded citizens:
medication should avoid taking drugs overdose, reused medication, and unreasonable combination. Unreasonable combination drugs include the combination between Western medicine and Western medicine, and between Western medicine and Chinese medicine. Therefore, when taking medicine, citizens should use the medicine with caution and take the medicine with the right symptoms.
Remember! Follow the doctor's advice and do not use medicine blindly.
