"The patient has damp-heat accumulating internally, and pathogenic heat is causing obstruction. Therefore, I will use Rhubarb and Moutan Decoction to purge heat, resolve blood stasis, eliminate abscesses, and promote the flow of qi."
Du Heng didn't beat around the bush; he looked directly at Doctor Zhou and stated his thoughts. "Similarly, if the patient has heat accumulation in the chest, I'll make an exception and heavily use the miraculous medicine Honeysuckle; this is best for treating carbuncles and toxic swelling. Then, I'll use hibiscus leaves and forsythia to reduce swelling, discharge pus, and relieve pain. Finally, I'll add Job's tears seeds and Infection Dispersing Powder to detoxify and eliminate pus, and areca to promote diuresis and reduce swelling.
With these medicines combined, the bowels will be cleared to eliminate the abscess, and the toxins will be discharged through defecation. The patient's critical condition should be immediately resolved."
