One-day fever from blockages

Blockages sometimes form in the pores of the skin due to its roughening, infrequent washing and large dustiness, as well as from cold, from washing with astringent waters or from sunburn, and sometimes they occur in the fibers of blood vessels, in their canals, mouths and ducts. When they say a one-day fever from blockages, they mean precisely this type of blockage: they occur if the dissolution of juices becomes small, the congestion of the body and constipation of matter increases, there is no breathing through the pores and a large amount of hot vapor accumulates, which does not dissipate and generates excessive heat . While its burning occurs in the most rarefied bodily substance, that is, in the pneuma, then a one-day fever occurs, and if it flares up in the blood, then a type of fever arises, known as synochus, which we will talk about shortly. This is the variety that belongs to the number of fevers of juices that occur not from putrefaction, but from their flaming, boiling and hotness; if this leads to putrefaction due to blockage and lack of breathing through the pores, then the fever becomes putrefactive. Such blockages occur either from the abundance of juices and blood, or from their thickness, or from viscosity, or due to the occurrence of one of the causes of blockages in the body itself. instrument, and not in the duct, for example, a constricting cold, a pressing tumor, some growth or other reason that you should remember.

Such a fever, among one-day fevers, rarely develops into tabes, because the body is replete with matter. And with this fever there is thirst, burning and constant heat; the urine in the bottle is midway between fiery and brown. This type of fever is difficult to recognize; it is close in similarity to juice fevers. This fever sometimes remains until the third day and later, if the blockages are numerous and strong and have not formed from compaction and thickening of the skin outside, and when they are few in number, eradication occurs quickly, unless there is an error in treatment. Such a fever, among one-day fevers, sometimes arises and returns again due to the persistence of the obstructions that are the cause of the disease, and it is as if there were several attacks with it. This fever often develops into a fever with cold and goose bumps, and this indicates that it has become putrid. When fever from obstructions causes pain after bleeding on the left side of the body, it is inevitable that blood will have to be drawn again, especially if the fever has subsided and the pain continues.

Signs. If a one-day fever did not arise from an external cause and the decline continues for a long time, then consider it to be due to blockages, especially if the fever subsided without the release of moisture; your assumption will be confirmed by signs of congestion in people whose body abounds in blood and produces it in abundance or contains thick, viscous juices. The difference between these two conditions is as follows: if the cause of blockages in the body is the thickness and viscosity of the juices, then this is indicated by their well-known signs and the absence of bloating of the body, vascular tension, redness and generally signs of an abundance of blood; if the cause is overflow, then signs of overflow - redness of the face, swelling of blood vessels, bloating, tension and others - are clearly visible on the body. If the blockages are excessive, then the pulse is small, and if they are not excessive, then it is not necessary that the pulse be small.

Treatment. When the cause is an abundance of juices and overflow, then you should hurry with bloodletting and emptying. Letting blood while the patient is not yet feverish is best, but if he is feverish, then it is more useful to wait, unless absolutely necessary; the fact is that bloodletting sometimes sets the juices in motion and mixes them together. When this is unavoidable, then bloodletting and emptying should not be postponed, and after it they are given treatment that opens blockages and cleanses the ducts. Do not rush to open and clean the ducts before emptying: this sometimes causes the juices to suddenly attract into some duct and they get stuck there, which is fraught with many dangers.

Sometimes opening medicines, if the juices are thick, increase blockages, especially if the passages are naturally narrow; besides, bloodletting and emptying, especially if you are overzealous and bring the patient almost to the point of fainting, sometimes removes smoky excesses, which, being locked up, cause a one-day fever and do not allow the fever to turn putrefactive. If you do not assume that there is a lot of juice, but you think that there are blockages, and that they arise from the thickness and viscosity of the juices, then sometimes there is no need for copious bleeding or emptying and it is more necessary to open the blockages; revelation is achieved through cleansing dishes and medicines. But since this disease is a fever, you cannot turn to hot cleansing substances when opening, but should use something between pure sikanjubin and sikanjubin with seeds and between chicory juice and fennel juice. And the food prescribed is one that washes and is devoid of viscosity, for example, barley gruel. Sugar, which is close to a nutrient, also has opening and cleansing properties, so it’s a good idea to mix it with barley gruel.

Then, when you have evacuated, if it was necessary, and opened the blockages with the means we have mentioned, you should see whether the fever has decreased and become lighter, and if it occurs in attacks, whether the subsequent attack is weaker than the previous one. Also look at the urine, and if you see that it is not devoid of maturity, and the pulse shows no indication of putrefaction, then continue to use the same method of treatment. On the third day, after the attack, take the patient to the bathhouse during the subsidence of the fever, when there are five hours left before the expected attack, if there is one at all. Rub oil into it and rub it with substances with moderate cleansing properties, for example, something between bean flour and vetch flour or iris root flour, or aristolochia mixed with a little honey and water, and if you dare, try something stronger , then - the foam of the bavrak.

And if you believe that the bath changes something in the patient’s nature and causes a semblance of goose bumps, then let him not remain in the bath for a moment, because these blockages, therefore, are not of the kind that the bath will open them. When the patient is taken to the baths, he should not begin to eat or drink until the danger of an attack has passed, and if circumstances require that he be fed and he cannot endure, he is given something to drink that opens the blockage, for example, thin barley stew, where there is a lot of water and little barley, which was boiled for a long time with celery.

If the attack does not recur, then bathe the patient again, if he wishes, and feed him, and if the attack returns, but turns out to be weaker than the previous one, and the urine is good, then be sure that you are treating correctly and there are few blockages; Treat after the end of the attack in the same way as you treated before, and feed the patient. But if the next attack turns out to be the same as the previous one, or even stronger, and the urine is not as it should be, then the disease turns to putrefaction and the treatment consists of treating putrefactiveness.
