Abstract
<p>A 65-year-old man, with a history of surgery for esophagogastric junction cancer in X-3, was admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine in our hospital in March for anorexia that had developed since January X. The patient was diagnosed with adhesive small bowel obstruction, and underwent surgery to relieve the obstruction in early May. However, his symptoms did not improve, and he was referred to our department in mid-June. His drooling was considered to be due to “excessive saliva secretion.” He started taking a decoction of bushirichuto for epigastric discomfort and resistance and coldness of the hands and feet. On the 5th day, he started to feel more energetic, and on the 8th day, his saliva production decreased. Furthermore, on the 12th day, his sense of taste and appetite improved. As the oral intake increased, tube feeding could be reduced and rehabilitation progressed ; from an almost bedridden state, he was able to walk continuously for 150 m with a cane. On the 29th day, he was transferred to a chronic care hospital. His weight increased from 34.1 kg, when he was referred to our department, to 39.7 kg at the discharge time. Anorexia and drooling, which had otherwise continued for 5 months, were improved within a short period of time by using bushirichuto.</p>
