One-day fever from indigestion due to overcrowding

Sometimes bad fumes are formed from indigestion, which kindle the heat, which inflames the pneuma, and fever occurs, especially in people with a biliary body and not wide pores; most of their excess turns into smoky fumes. With such a fever there is rarely sour belching. The most predisposed to it are those people who, after overeating, take up physical work, move, stay in the sun and bathe in the bathhouse, although they have already experienced such phenomena before. Then smoky vapors multiply in them, especially if they feel pain and burning in the body, and even more so in the insides. As for the matter of sour belching, it rarely happens that a fever arises from it, and if it does arise, it is weak. Or rather, it does not arise at all, and we believe that the cause of the fever that occurs with sour belching is not indigestion. Such people, if they experience liberation of nature, receive great benefit, and their fever stops due to the release of excess smoke. Those whose nature is locked up and those whose nature is released are treated in different ways.

If a person has a fever from indigestion and the nature has softened at two or three sittings, and then he has bled himself, then the diarrhea overcomes him and often becomes hepatic; This is indicated by interruptions in the heart and blackness of the tongue. The manifestations of one-day fever from overflow are similar to those of continuous fever; the eyes and face become very red, there is a strong glow, the pulse becomes large and fast and the urine in the bottle turns red, but then the fever continues for at most three days.

Know that fever from indigestion sometimes comes in four or seven attacks, and yet it is still a fever of one day; however, the patient's pulse remains healthy.

Signs. Signs of this are the transition of belching to sour or smoky; when the belching becomes healthy, it portends healing. The urine of such people lacks maturity and is watery. If the cause of indigestion is insomnia, then swelling appears in the face of these patients, and heaviness appears in the eyelids.

Treatment. A person suffering from such indigestion must either have an unreleased nature, or his nature must be released. If his nature is not released, then it is appropriate to cause the release of nature, and if part of the food or feces remains in the stomach, then it is necessary to vomit and then release him. Then they look where the patient feels heaviness, and determine whether it would be better to remove the excess with enemas and suppositories, or from above, with substances for drinking in order to produce relief, or to release the excess down, or to cause its digestion; which of all this will be correct can be seen from the quality of the belching. Sometimes, if the food has stopped at the top, and it is difficult to vomit, you have to ignore the fever and use falafili in order to lower and bring the food down, while facilitating digestion, or use something weaker. Pourings and medicinal dressings should be prescribed that promote digestion and are known from the paragraphs on digestion, as well as natural medicines that are known from the paragraphs on absolution. When the excess goes down, it either comes out on its own or is helped with a candle; after this, the patient fasts until there is no doubt that the indigestion has stopped, and then takes light food that is digestible and gives good chyme. Appeal to sleep and hunger is one of the remedies that relieves worries from mild fever after congestion.

If the nature is released, then see if the substance being removed is the same one that has deteriorated; if this is so, then he will not be detained until he is completely taken out. After this, wait until the attack subsides and then take the patient to the bathhouse and feed him, unless there is excessive indigestion that takes away his strength. In this case, do not take the patient to the bathhouse, but feed him and strengthen his stomach with the means that you already know and which were partially indicated to you in the paragraphs on diarrhea. These include the application of a woolen rag dipped in olive oil with a small amount of wormwood or spikenard oil; The rag is pre-wrung out so that most of the oil leaves it. If the absolution lasts a long time and it turns out that what comes out is not the substance that has spoiled, you use warm, fresh quince oil or mastic oil in the same way; in spikenard oil there is also no counteraction to the consolidation of nature. Sometimes we used these substances in the form of a wax ointment, especially if circumstances did not allow us to tie a rag to the patient's stomach, but often we had to use stronger bandages from those mentioned in the paragraph on Haida. Give the patient fruit juices if he feels more invigorated by them, and feed him food that is easily digestible and digestible, for example, cockerels and fish from rivers with a rocky bottom; You should first give some fruits, squeezed juices or thickly brewed and astringent juices; if you have lost your appetite, stimulate it with means known to you and, especially, quince juvarishnas. And when you are done with this, it would not be a bad idea to take a strong juvarishn, one of those that promotes digestion, strengthens the stomach and opens blockages; this is done after the cessation of fever and its manifestations.

Regarding bloodletting, I will say that it should not be used for such a fever until it subsides, and then it is done. It is best to give the patient barley water, and his food is, for example, a stew with the juice of unripe grapes, pumpkin and a small amount of almonds. The patient's bed and what he smells should be cooled; They don’t put rhubarb in camphor cakes for him.
