"Does your father grow flowers at home? How many?" Liu Banxia, who had stepped outside, asked the patient's son.
The patient's son nodded dazedly. "He grows lots of flowers; they're all over the balcony."
"What kind of fertilizer does your father use for his flowers?" Liu Banxia continued to ask.
"Beer, tea, soybean water... I think he also got some farm manure from someone," the patient's son responded.
Liu Banxia nodded. "It might be a Mucor infection. We need to perform an endoscopic biopsy in the sinus area, take several samples, and screen for Mucor."
"We'll also test for sensitivity to Amphotericin B. If he's not allergic, we'll administer it intravenously, starting with the smallest dose. Let's observe the patient's condition first; I suspect this is it."
"If his symptoms improve, or if the tests confirm Mucor, we'll need ENT doctors to debride the area around the sinuses."
