Chapter 103 Treating the Plague
Author: Ju Gaogao
During An Xiaoxiao's careful inquiry, the three learned that the two doctors were father and son, and their surname was Nian. They were parading everywhere and were barefoot doctors. Unexpectedly, they happened to encounter a sudden plague in Huanghua Village, so they followed him
The county magistrate stayed.
"How many Chinese medicinal materials are left in the village now?" An Xiaoxiao counted the number of people in the house and quietly passed the medicinal materials in the space in his heart. The Nian Doctor walked aside, moved the cloth on the cover, revealing two large jars.
I stored half a tank of vinegar in one mouthful and neatly sorted the medicinal materials.
"The medicinal materials should not be stored like this, but the conditions in the village are really limited." The young doctor said embarrassedly. An Xiaoxiao nodded to express his understanding.
She counted the medicinal materials in the medicinal tank and sighed. Adding to the things she and the owner of the Library, it was almost enough, but it was hard to say.
The owner of the Library Jiang found a basin, scooped out the white vinegar from the tank, and looked at Dawu hesitantly. The latter immediately went up to meet him, "What are the instructions?"
"You go to each household to find some firewood, boil the vinegar first for a fire." An Xiaoxiao frowned, looked around, opened the two closed windows beside her and threw the bottle of medicine into his hand, "Be careful with yourself."
, tell me in time if you have any discomfort."
Dawu responded with a grin, opened the door and ran out.
"Where is the village chief?" After taking all the personnel in the house, the owner of the library took the pulse and looked up at the young doctor.
"I am." A woman in the house stretched out her hand tremblingly. An Xiaoxiao was startled and quickly stepped forward to support her. She touched her pulse. The woman in front of her was only in her forties, but her face was as thin as a hair, and her eye sockets were deeply engulfed.
After going down, her hair was dry and yellow, covering most of her face. She coughed and said hoarsely: "I am the village chief of Huanghua Village."
The young doctor came forward to feed her a little warm water. An Xiaoxiao was so angry that she touched her forehead and stuffed a pill into her mouth first.
She used her eyes to signal the young doctor to go out, and then said to offend him again. She covered the old doctor's eyes with white cloth and pulled open the female village chief's collar. The owner of the Jiangguan was following her and watched.
She quickly opened the woman's clothes, skillfully dipped white cloth with wine, and quickly wiped her forehead, neck, armpits, soles of her feet, etc.
"Is this?" Director Jiang asked humbly next to him.
"Use white wine to cool down." An Xiaoxiao carefully tied the female village chief's clothes and explained patiently: "This type of epidemic makes people have high fevers. In addition to using drugs to control it, cooling outside the body is also essential."
The whole room was filled with women and children. The Nian father and son were embarrassed to touch them too much, let alone wiped their bodies and cooled down.
"So it's not good in ancient times. People are almost dying, and they still care about the big troubles of these men and women." An Xiaoxiao muttered, stretched out her hand to pull the bedding next to her and wanted to cover the village chief. Unexpectedly, she didn't touch the bedding.
Fortunately, it was wet and cold when I touched it, and An Xiaoxiao frowned immediately.
In this kind of living conditions, people who are not sick will get sick.
She sighed inwardly, and could only show that she could turn over the bedding and temporarily cover the dry side on the village chief.
After examination, it was found that the women and children had not been completely cured due to the treatment of Nian's father and son, but the disease had not been completely cured, but the condition had not worsened. The other villagers outside the house, Nian's father and son would send medicine regularly, but in the past few days
The old doctor suddenly fell ill and lacked manpower. The old doctor could not take care of him for a while, so the scene they encountered when they first came to the village appeared.
"The symptoms are mostly cough and high fever, accompanied by decreased appetite, headache, occasional vomiting and chest pain." The plague is divided into many types, and there are also risks. The owner of the Jiangguan was diagnosed for a long time and was unable to use medical books.
In contrast, he said to me in confusion: "Miss An, what do you think this disease should be?"
The epidemic is highly explosive and has a high mortality rate. However, after their examination, although the disease has been ongoing in the village for a long time, there is no such thing as death due to illness. In addition to the contributions of the Nian father and son, this also shows that the epidemic is not as good as imagined.
serious.
"Maybe it's not a plague, it's just an ordinary wind and cold." An Xiaoxiao shook her head, thought for a long time, and explained: "It can't be considered ordinary, it's more serious than ordinary wind and cold. According to our words, it's called influenza."
"Flu?" Director Jiang was stunned for a long time and said in shame: "I have no idea that I have such diseases even if I don't know if I have any medical skills."
An Xiaoxiao had no time to comfort her, so she quickly explained the symptoms and treatment methods of influenza to her, and informed her of the subsequent treatment plan.
Influenza is not a serious illness for modern people, and it can heal itself without taking medicine. However, in ancient villages, medical resources were backward and poor sanitation conditions, many people were touching. Once it broke out, it should not be like
Like a plague, it spreads.
They discussed with Nian Doctor for a moment outside the house, and finally decided that An Xiaoxiao and the owner of the Library of Jiang would first treat women and children in the house. Nian Doctor was considered familiar with each other in the village, and he and Dawu were responsible for treating the remaining people, and counting their physical strength.
The villagers who have not yet been infected will gather them to help.
In the following days, everyone was busy. Fortunately, there were not many uninfected people in the village. Under the convening of Dawu and Nian Langzhong, they all united and volunteered to form a team to help.
"After the vinegar is cooked, it will be distributed to every villager, and they will wipe the house with vinegar every day and ventilate at regular intervals."
"Whoever has the bedding that is done by home will change it first. Make a rack and set it up and make it dry."
"It is normal for high fever to not subside in the first few days. Don't panic. Take the medicine with peace of mind, and it will naturally improve slowly."
The dirty and messy environment gradually recovered under the leadership of a few people. The treated women spontaneously cooked porridge and cooked for everyone, and set meals in the village regularly to ensure everyone's food.
When the condition in the village stabilized, when everyone thought the situation was controlled, another sudden situation occurred - the village's substances and medicinal materials were about to bottom out.
"There are still several families in the village who are still ill, and the villagers have not yet fully recovered. They must continue to be consolidated with medicine." The elderly doctor sat in the cleaned farmhouse, stroked his beard, and said sadly: "White vinegar will be seen soon."
end."
It doesn’t matter if white vinegar is just for disinfection. Now the disease in the village has been greatly reduced. If it really doesn’t work, white wine can also have a certain effect. At present, the most urgent thing is medicinal materials, as well as protective supplies such as masks.
"Master Jiang, now ask the county magistrate to send someone to the county to transport medicinal materials. How many days will it take to arrive at the maximum?" An Xiaoxiao frowned and asked Master Jiang.
"The fastest three days, the slowest one is no less than four or five days."
"So long? The journey is not far." Dawu was confused when he heard the conversation between the two.
The owner of the museum shook his head and replied: "It's not a matter of distance, it takes time to buy medicinal materials. The largest clinic in the county is mine. I have brought all the medicinal materials available in it before I left, and the replenishment of the museum is needed.
It takes a certain period of time and cannot be completely empty, and it also needs to leave some basic information for the patients in the museum. The county magistrate can only collect materials from other small clinics and surrounding villages at present."
