Can you give some examples of what you mean by "medical advice"? What are the data elements you'd typically want to capture?

like order，i want to use ServiceRequest resource in fhir，but there are some fields contains orderLid、 orderType、orderTypeName and also contains requestNo 、itemCode、itemName ，so i dont know what should i use，or extensions would be better?

An order is not typically known as "medical advice". It is a request from someone to do something for you. The result of that could include advice.
The things you mention sound like fairly common order entry items. Depending on your full use case, you might want to check out 'prior art' in the form of implementation guides or IGs listed here: http://www.fhir.org/guides/registry/

You'd need to provide definitions for your element names. Some of those seem like things that should already have clear mappings to ServiceRequest. Can you list the elements (with definitions and example values) for the elements you're having trouble mapping?
