/kloc-On the evening of October 9th, four men in Nanning added 250g of aconite (a white Chinese medicine) to the stewed chicken to supplement their health. "As a result, they were collectively poisoned and taken to the hospital. It is understood that these four men are between 40 and 60 years old. Three of them suffered from severe discomfort, including nausea and vomiting, chest tightness, numbness in the corners of the mouth, and weakness of limbs. According to the doctor's appraisal, the amount of aconite is seriously exceeded. Fortunately, after timely treatment, 3 patients were discharged, and 1 patient received further treatment in the Department of Nephrology.

According to the doctor, four people drank a bowl of chicken soup at dinner that day. In order to supplement their physical strength, they also added 250 grams of aconite to the chicken stew. After drinking chicken soup, everyone went to the hospital together.

After consultation in Chinese medicine department, nephrology department and intensive care unit, it is considered that the dose of aconitine is about 10g, which is taken twice, and 250g at a time is a serious overdose, which is finally diagnosed as aconitine overdose.

Aconitum can tonify fire and help yang, but it is toxic. It is understood that aconite has the function of reinforcing fire and helping yang, but it is toxic. There is little difference between the toxic dose and lethal dose of Aconitum. If it is too much, it may have serious consequences. Fortunately, these people found the situation in a timely manner and turned the corner after treatment. If they found it later, the consequences would be unimaginable.

1 patient had mild symptoms and was discharged the same day. The other three patients had more serious symptoms. After emergency measures such as gastric lavage, the symptoms of two patients were obviously alleviated and they were discharged one after another. At present, 1 person is receiving further treatment in the Department of Nephrology. The preparation of medicated diet and medicinal liquor should be carried out under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine, and the dosage should not be added by itself. Huang Jun, director of the emergency department of the hospital, reminded that hospitals often give these patients with homemade medicated diet and alcohol poisoning. Some people like to use "Turkish" bubble medicinal liquor, and use a variety of medicinal materials, with complex ingredients and excessive dosage, which is easy to be poisoned. Therefore, the preparation of medicated diet and medicinal liquor should be carried out under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine, and the dosage should not be added by itself.

Now people pay more attention to health, and some Chinese medicines should be added to the soup to supplement the body. However, when using Chinese herbal medicines, we must first understand the efficacy and contraindications of these herbs, and at the same time, we must master the dosage used. If we eat too much, it will not only nourish the body, but also cause great harm.
