After the situation stabilized, Lin Joy had time to question the patient's wife carefully.
"It happened all of a sudden. He had a cough a few days ago. He didn't think it was serious, so he didn't care. Who knew he would get so sick? Thank you so much. You are all good people and good doctors." Patient
The wife cried and said.
Lin Joy nodded, "Let him stay here tonight, and we'll see what happens tomorrow. Maybe it will still burn."
The woman originally thought that her husband-in-law was healed, but when she heard this, she became nervous again, "How can that be done? You must save him, you must."
The old people in the countryside often say that you should not be careless about fever, as you may die, and even if you save your life, you may become a fool in the end.
There was a man in the village who turned into a fool like that. He was so smart before, but his family didn't take him seriously when he had a fever. Later, he couldn't be cured, and he had to be fed.
Lin Joy said, "Aren't we rescuing him now? But it also depends on his own situation."
She turned around and went in, asking shopkeeper Zhao to explain clearly to the woman.
The patient is being rescued, but the family members need to understand that this is not guaranteed to be cured. Shopkeeper Zhao is the best at this job, and he does not want to cause trouble.
At this time, all the doctors from Renji Hall came, taking the patient's pulse and giving their own suggestions.
Dr. Zhuang felt embarrassed. The most important thing for patients with high fever was to reduce fever. Renjitang had a fever-reducing prescription that had been used for many years and had always been very useful.
But this time, I don’t know what happened. The medicine from Renjitang was of no use at all.
This made him panic. If he encounters a patient with high fever again, how should he reduce the fever?
Until the evening, the patient's body temperature remained at 38 degrees. He had woken up, but felt no strength.
Lin Xixi left the medicine, and Dr. Zhuang knew how to use it, so she felt relieved.
"I will come back early tomorrow morning. Someone must guard him tonight and measure his temperature with the thermometer I gave him."
Dr. Zhuang nodded, "I'll be careful here. If I have a high fever in the middle of the night, I might still go to you."
Lin Joy said, "Just let people find me."
Nothing is more important than human life, so she is not afraid of trouble.
When he returned home, it was already dark. Lin Yuxi saw Chen Zhongqian standing at the entrance of the courtyard from a distance. When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he did not see him again.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo craned their necks to look. Seeing that she was back, Xiaoduo ran over to cling to her. Xiaoyu felt that he was a big kid and couldn't be as clingy as his younger sister, so he just called Lin Yuxi and ran away.
opened.
Chen Zhongqian had already prepared dinner. Lin Yuxi washed her hands and went to the table to eat. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up.
It's not because the food is so delicious, but because it tastes much better than before.
"Is it because I'm too hungry or have you really mastered your cooking skills? It turns out to be delicious."
Chen Zhongqian didn't say anything, but just served her some food. Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo also praised her, "The rice cooked by daddy has become delicious."
Chen Zhongqian served them two more dishes, seemingly unconcerned, but in fact he was so proud that he almost had his tail raised.
After dinner, Lin Yuxi found the medical books he had read before and browsed through them, but found nothing much.
Everything depends on tomorrow to see if it will burn again.
Because she was afraid that someone would come to her door in the middle of the night, Lin Yuxi didn't sleep too deeply, so she didn't get a good rest. When she got up in the morning, she was all in a daze.
The academy would start school in a few days, so Lin Hexi asked Chen Zhongqian to take care of the children at home, and went to Renji Hall after breakfast.
Sure enough, the patient had a fever again in the middle of the night, but it was not as severe as during the day. Dr. Zhuang gave him the antipyretic prescription from Renjitang and he was able to control it, so he did not call Lin Yuxi.
Lin Yuxi still gave him an infusion. When he felt better, he prescribed a prescription and boiled a decoction for him.
Dr. Zhuang has read that this is a recipe for diarrhea, and it can relieve evil heat from below. It was also mentioned in the book, but he has never used such a large dose.
"really?"
Lin Joy nodded, "Try it."
The reason she had to wait until today was to wait for the patient to feel better, otherwise severe diarrhea would kill him.
After the decoction was taken, the patient soon wanted to go to the hut. Two apprentices from Renjitang took turns taking care of him. He had diarrhea seven or eight times in the morning, and his stomach was empty.
Lin Yuxi was afraid that he would become dehydrated, so he kept giving him intravenous fluids. The diarrhea did not cause his body to collapse, but his spirit was getting better and better.
By noon, the body temperature had returned to normal, and the patient was fine except for a little lack of energy.
His body temperature was measured once every half hour. Lin Yuxi drew a thermometer. His body temperature had been gradually dropping since the onset of diarrhea. This method was used correctly this time.
Dr. Zhuang also understood what her thermometer meant, and nodded in surprise, "It has really dropped."
Then another question came to mind, "Could it be because of the medication? Without your medications, my body temperature might rise again."
Lin Yuxi smiled and said, "I no longer use antipyretic drugs. Now I only use drugs to replenish water and nutrition. I think he will no longer have a fever, but he still needs to be observed in Renji Hall for two days."
"Okay, let him stay here for two days and take a look." Dr. Zhuang said.
Another doctor came forward and said, "Ms. Chen, I wonder if we could take a look at the prescription you use to reduce fever?"
He was a little embarrassed when he said it, thinking that this prescription was much more powerful than Renjitang's antipyretic medicine, and he didn't know if she would be willing to give it to him. It might be a secret recipe passed down from family.
Lin Joy took it from the counter and put it in the doctor's hand, "Please do as you like."
Seeing that she didn't mind, other people gathered around and tried to spread the word.
But after reading it, I became confused again. This is a laxative, and the medicine is very strong. This patient is in good health. If he was weaker, he would probably die after taking this prescription.
But none of them thought that Lin Yuxi's prescription was not good enough. After all, the patient's fever yesterday was so severe that no one could do anything about it. It was she who controlled it, and no one doubted her medical skills.
"I would like to ask Madam Chen, if patients with fever can use this prescription?"
Lin Joy said, "Of course not. It depends on the patient's constitution. If he can withstand the torture, he can give it a try. If he is a thin person, don't use it rashly."
"It also depends on what is causing the fever. This patient has not had bowel movements for five days. Regardless of whether this is the reason or not, diarrhea is always a problem. I also tried this method. It worked for him, but it may not work for others.
it works."
Everyone nodded, feeling that there was still a lot to learn.
