Chapter 13 Allergy skin test? Adjust the medicine yourself
Since it is handled by modern medicine, it is natural to follow the ideas of modern medicine. Gray calmed down and looked at the child carefully again: what he observed before was correct, the child's face was swollen, and wind masses were visible on his face and hands.
Thinking about allergies, he turned to the peasant woman who came in with the child and continued to ask:
"Didn't you eat any strange fruits? Didn't you pick any flowers? Where did the child go to play this afternoon?"
"Why do you know how to play? Little Remy is very sensible. Two years ago, he would be able to help the family with work!"
Uh... I'm sorry. Grete wiped his hands with cold sweat. The memory of his original childhood has not been completed yet, and he can't remember it for a while. But in his previous life, he was definitely still a primary school student when he was seven or eight years old!
Carrying a small schoolbag, I go to school every day, and I don’t even have time to think about how to blow up the school!
However, Gretel is well aware of how naughty seven- and eight-year-old children can be. When he was in the emergency department, parents would rush in with their children every day, injured, sick, and for various reasons that were unbelievable. They were simply challenging human beings.
The limit of imagination. Sometimes adults don’t think that the children’s companions may not know——
"Is there any child working with him? Can you call him and ask?"
Grete asked patiently. Before the peasant woman could answer, Uncle Edmund, the farmer holding the child next to him, had already answered:
"Yes, yes! There are two or three of them! - What are you still doing? Go and call!"
Immediately some people ran away. Gretel frowned and continued to think hard, trying to figure out what else might be the cause of the disease. At the same time, the priest who had seen the child's throat came over boredly:
"Why do you ask all this?"
Gretel: "..."
Check for allergens!
Grete bit her tongue and almost stopped what she was saying. Allergy was a very common word in her previous life. Even if she wasn't a doctor, she knew what it was. But saying it in this strange world...
Gretel is 100% sure that the curious baby priest in front of him will definitely get to the bottom of it. If asked, how can he explain it?
——Hypersensitivity, also known as allergic reaction, refers to an abnormal adaptive immune response that causes physiological dysfunction or tissue cell damage when the body is stimulated by certain antigens?
It's very simple, very clear, just one sentence in the textbook...
It would really kill someone to explain!
Let alone another world, even if Grete had asked a non-medical professional to explain the word "allergy" in his previous life, if you put a complete set of 53 medical textbooks in front of him, he would be able to flip through the books for half an hour and then yell.
:
“Which book should I read if I’m allergic?”
That’s right, for half an hour, I didn’t even understand which book explained allergy...
Fortunately, Grete was the deputy director of the emergency department in his previous life, and he was experienced in communicating with patients and family members. He sorted out his words and answered slowly:
"I ask these questions to see if the child has eaten, drank, or touched something he can't stand."
"Poisoned?"
"It's not poisoning..."
Brother, who performed the detoxification technique just now? Wasn't it you?
After spending a long time talking and sweating all over, it was easy to explain the symptoms of "allergy". The child's playmates during the day were also called. There were three in total. The eldest was less than ten years old, and the younger one watched.
Only four or five years old. Grete asked the question again in detail, and as expected he asked something different:
"It's salted fish! I saw Remi break off a piece of the salted fish hanging on the beam!"
"You're talking nonsense! We, Remy, are the most well-behaved and never steal food!"
The peasant woman jumped up like a female animal guarding her cubs, baring her teeth and claws, and her voice was sharp. The mother screamed, the child ran, the man shouted to stop, the hall became a mess, and the volume reached 120 decibels again.
Grete sweated profusely. He shouted with all his strength amidst the noise in the hall:
"Stop arguing! - Someone go get that salted fish!"
No matter how much he suspects that salted fish is to blame, in the field of modern medicine, no doctor dares to make a diagnosis without conducting tests. Gretel has a salted fish in his left hand and a bowl of water in his right hand. He looks left and right——
"what fish is this?"
Forgive me that in his previous life, he only knew how to eat, never buy, and could not cook. When the cooked food is placed in front of him, he can still recognize what kind of fish it is. When a raw fish is placed in front of him, this...
Can't do it, can't recognize it, say goodbye.
Fortunately, if he didn't recognize it, someone else would. The priest of the Spring Water Goddess stuck his head out, studied it with great interest for a moment, and definitely came to the conclusion:
"It's cod.—Is that what you're causing trouble by eating?"
Cod is right. Grete nodded secretly: People in this inland area usually cannot eat sea fish, and it is normal to cause allergies if they eat it occasionally. He smiled and nodded to the priest:
"I guess the possibility is not small. However, we still need to verify it."
"How to verify? - Let the child eat again?"
"..."
Great Khan:
"The throat is swollen like this. If you let him eat, he will be able to swallow it!"
"What should we do?"
How to test? Doctors from previous generations have paved the way for those who come after. Doctors don’t have to worry at all. If they suspect an allergy, they can just do a skin test.
It costs tens of dollars to do a job, put two needles in your arm and drop a drop of antigen, and the results will be available within half an hour. But now, now...
To do a skin test, you must first have an antigen!
Antigens that are sterile, have no obvious side effects, and whose protein content has been measured are displayed in large boxes in the laboratory. They seem to be readily available; but if there are no ready-made antigen products, they must be extracted from raw materials...
Grete was a clinical major in his previous life, not a pharmacy major. But he also heard a cry from a pharmacy classmate. When doing the project, he had to extract the fish by hand. He had to cut the fish into pieces, grind it with liquid nitrogen, add acetone to remove the fat, stir, let it stand, and serve.
Centrifuge…
After completing a set of procedures, it would take several days and nights, and I would be so busy that my hair and facial features would be unkempt. As for how many medicines and instruments are needed in this process, it goes without saying.
In the previous life, various seemingly ordinary conditions were supported by the country's strong industrial strength. But in this other world, the only thing Gretel can be sure of is:
What he can currently do is only the first step in the first step of preparing the antigen.
——Cut the fish into small pieces and soak it in water...
Gone.
Then, jump directly to the last step of the skin test.
"Bring two needles here! And a bowl of water!"
On the child's left forearm and right forearm, add a drop of clean water and a drop of water mixed with fish meat, then use two needles to pass through the droplets and prick the skin gently each time to pierce the skin but not bleed. Grete
He pinched his own wrist, silently counted 60 times, wiped the droplets of fluid on the child's arms, and then——
"What to do now?"
"wait."
In skin test, prick test, type 1 allergy - that is, seafood allergy, nut allergy, paint allergy - the results are observed 20 to 30 minutes after antigen stimulation. The child is temporarily out of danger, and the next step of treatment will have to be
Waiting for the test results, what can be done now...
Just wait.
Look left, look right, sit there, doing nothing.
Gretel: "..."
No, I have to wait for half an hour, and no one will send me to eat?!
