"He is my grandson. "The sick child's grandmother reported to the doctor about the incident," the teacher at the school said that he had a cold and a fever. I only knew from the teacher when I went to pick him up. When we sent him to school in the morning, he was fine and didn't have a fever. I don't know what happened to him at school. It was inconvenient for his parents to go to work, so I asked me to take him to the hospital to prescribe medicine first."
Listening to the family members' explanation, Xie Wanying squatted down and was level with the child's head to facilitate observation of the child's expression and breathing.
A little snot flowed out of the boy's nostrils, as if he was sneezing, his eyes were red, his voice was hoarse, and he had no strength to get angry, which was like a cold.
For patients with fever, the triage nurse must first take a thermometer for body temperature. Xie Wanying turned her head and asked the old man: "Have you taken out the thermometer?"
"Thermometer? Oh, I forgot." Grandma of the victim child hit her forehead with her hand.
The elderly who accompany their children to see a doctor are prone to forget things when they are old and cannot remember the details explained by the doctor and nurse. The thermometer that the child clamped under his armpit is expected to be longer than the ten-minute time limit stated by the nurse.
You can't complain about this. The emergency nurses in Grade A hospitals are busy. The nurses in charge of sitting at the triage desk need to help other colleagues give injections to patients when they have time. The latter situation is more urgent than watching the patient take their temperature. Anyway, the doctor will ask about the temperature of the child at that time and will not completely forget this matter.
"It's okay." Xie Wanying comforted her grandmother, reached out and gently touched the thermometer clamped from the child's armpit, took it out, and read the mercury degree on it to the fluorescent light: 39 degrees and 6.
You can test it again, but the value should not deviate much. In short, don't burn it to more than forty degrees.
Thirty-nine degrees and six are close to forty degrees, which has an impact on the activity of the human brain. As a result, boys have symptoms of headaches and dizziness, and are not able to answer doctors' questions.
Without asking the child, letting her rest more, Xie Wanying took out a stethoscope from her pocket, gave her to the child's lungs, and eliminated her pneumonia.
The most feared complication of viral colds is pneumonia. Once pneumonia is diagnosed, it goes without saying that you will definitely need to be hospitalized. Which department you are in is not necessarily a pediatric department. Because the National Association does not have a pediatric department, it may be admitted to their respiratory department. For example, when she was in General Side II, she was in the second grade of the United States, and without the conditions that she could be transferred to pediatric department for treatment, these departments would accept some children's cases according to the scope of specialist disease treatment.
After listening to the boy's lungs, the child's lungs were in good condition. The child's cough was not seen very severely, without asthma, and without chest pain.
Xie Wanying took out two magic weapons for doctors from her white coat's pocket: cotton swabs and flashlights.
"Class Wei Wei, come and open your mouth."
When the boy heard someone calling his name, he raised his head and saw the doctor's sister smiling and beautiful eyes in front of him, and seemed to have received a lot of comfort in her spirit.
The ten-year-old child is able to cooperate with the doctor, and the boy opens his mouth wide.
Without a tongue pressing plate, Xie Wanying used two cotton swabs instead of tongue pressing plates to press the child’s tongue. The area of ​​one cotton swab is not enough, so two cotton swabs are needed.
With the other hand, raise the flashlight and use the light of the flashlight to observe the child's mouth.
