"Dr. Liu, do you think it could be heavy metal poisoning?" Wang Huan asked.
Liu Banxia shook his head. "It shouldn't be. Heavy metal poisoning usually presents with neurological responses. Besides, the patient's current abdominal pain, muscle soreness, edema, and high fever don't quite match that profile."
"We've just run stool, urine, and blood tests, checked liver function, and performed a CT scan. If it were heavy metal poisoning, whether acute or chronic, there should have been some indication."
"But symptoms vary greatly, manifesting differently depending on each individual's constitution. Brother Wang, why don't we try some antibiotics first, then perform a heavy metal screening?"
Wang Huan nodded. "Alright, let's see how he responds. I'm a bit unsure about this patient myself. Keep a close eye on him. I'll give it more thought after I finish with my current patient."
