Chapter 635 When the ruler and the minister meet, never give up!
Lu Xuan was wearing thick clothes and a large cloak, and his eyes were slightly haggard. However, when Lu Xuan came in, he was wearing a simple mask, which he made during his break on the way.
The masks made by Lu Xuan were just layers of tulle sewn together and did not meet the standards of later generations of medical masks.
In this day and age, it's barely enough.
The germs of later generations have continued to evolve, and it is very difficult to protect against them. This era was much more primitive, and the human body has little resistance to drugs. Common drugs in later generations may be miracle drugs in this era.
Because people in this era have not used antibiotics.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Xuan was confident to come in person.
Lu Xuan walked to Zhou Yu and sat down, smiling and saying: "Gong Jin, as long as I am here, you can rest in peace and recover, and leave everything to me."
Zhou Yu looked moved and was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Your Majesty should not have come. My illness is an epidemic, and even Dr. Zhang is helpless."
Lu Xuan said: "With me here, you can rest assured."
He carefully examined Zhou Yu's condition. Although Zhou Yu looked pale and his eyes were bloodshot, he was still somewhat energetic and did not have a high fever under Zhang Zhongjing's care.
This is Zhang Zhongjing’s contribution.
If Zhang Zhongjing had not arrived early, Zhou Yu's condition would have been much more serious, and he might have died long ago.
Lu Xuan consoled him: "Gong Jin, your illness is incurable in the eyes of ordinary doctors. But in my eyes, your illness is actually not complicated. As long as you don't give up, you can get through it."
"Leave everything to me."
"Believe me, I can cure you."
Lu Xuan spoke very firmly.
Zhou Yu looked at the confident Lu Xuan, and inexplicably thought that Lu Xuan had never failed in his expeditions with Lu Xuan in the past years. A smile flashed across his pale face, and he nodded: "My lord, please wait for good news."
Lu Xuan ordered: "Zi Yi, help Gong Jin lie down and rest."
"Here!"
Taishi Ci walked forward directly.
"No need, I can rest by myself."
Zhou Yu shook his head and refused Taishi Ci's offer of support, and lay down to rest by himself. During this period, he even tried to eat and drink by himself to avoid contact with the people around him. He would only ask for help if he had no other choice.
Lu Xuan waited for Zhou Yu to go to bed before taking Taishi Ci out. He took out a mask from his sleeve and handed it to Taishi Ci, saying: "Ziyi, this thing is called a mask. It can isolate the disease to the greatest extent and avoid being infected."
, you take it with you too."
"Here!"
Taishi Ci took it and took it with him.
Although he was a little uncomfortable, he didn't have the slightest doubt about Lu Xuan's arrangement.
Taishi Ci took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, can masks be promoted on a large scale so that all soldiers can wear them?"
A look of approval flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes, and he looked at Zhou Tai beside him, and ordered: "Youping, give all the masks we prepared on the way to Ziyi and ask him to arrange for people to make them. Next, hurry up and make a big show.
Masks are made on a large scale and all soldiers in the army wear them to avoid mutual infection."
"Here!"
Taishi Ci looked excited.
With the king's intervention, the epidemic will definitely be suppressed this time.
Lu Xuan changed the subject and said, "Next, there are three more things to arrange."
Taishi Ci said: "Please show me, Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "First, all sick soldiers must be isolated and live alone. All sick soldiers in isolation must wear masks to avoid cross-infection. The same applies to those who are treating them. All of them must wear masks.
"
"Second, all clothes worn by patients must be boiled and disinfected when changing and washed, and cannot be discarded casually. Soldiers who died of illness are burned, and all used supplies are burned, leaving nothing behind. Places where patients have lived should be sprinkled with lime
, handle all.”
"Third, the people in Suanzao County must also control it. Once an epidemic occurs, the same isolation measures will be adopted. The manufactured masks will gradually be worn by the people to avoid further infection."
What Lu Xuan wants to do is to isolate, control, and further eliminate the pathogen.
There are no antibiotics in this era, and there are no evolved germs on people's bodies. There is no possibility of cultivating voodoos, and they will not evolve from generation to generation. The current methods of isolation and boiling for disinfection are very powerful measures.
This is due to the current environment.
Taishi Cidu wrote them down one by one and said: "Your Majesty, the last generals have all been written down. How should we treat them here?"
Lu Xuan ordered: "Arrange for someone to invite Divine Doctor Zhang and ask him to assist."
"Here!"
Taishi Ci arranged for someone to inform him.
After a while, Zhang Zhongjing came in a hurry. When he saw Lu Xuan coming, he was also surprised by Lu Xuan's courage to come to Suanzao County in person despite the epidemic. However, Zhang Zhongjing was confused when he saw Lu Xuan wearing a mask.
Zhang Zhongjing asked: "What is the king wearing on his mouth?"
Lu Xuan explained the masks and also explained that the biggest transmission route of typhoid fever is through droplets. He asked Zhou Tai to bring another mask to Zhang Zhongjing and explained: "Mr. Zhang, the probability of being infected after wearing a mask is very high.
Xiao. You can study this slowly and explore on your own."
Zhang Zhongjing nodded and said: "The king's wonderful idea, I will verify it. It only involves the governor's illness, and it was too late to cure it. I temporarily controlled the disease, but the disease entered the lungs and kept coughing, so it was impossible to cure it."
Lu Xuan looked calm and said: "This is the purpose of inviting Divine Doctor Zhang. Next, I want to extract the medicine to treat Gong Jin. Divine Doctor Zhang will assist me."
Zhang Zhongjing asked: "What medicine was extracted?"
"Allicin!"
Lu Xuan answered directly.
Anti-infective and anti-bacterial drugs include allicin and penicillin, both of which have miraculous effects. Of course, penicillin is a miracle drug with the strongest efficacy. If penicillin can be extracted, it can be called a life-saving weapon.
However, the extraction of penicillin seems simple, but it is actually very demanding. Not only is it difficult to purify, but it also depends on whether the patient is allergic and whether he can withstand the properties of penicillin. The lower the purification of penicillin, the higher the patient's allergic rate.
Once allergic, it cannot be cured.
If this thing is not good, it will be the result of death if you take medicine.
The extraction of penicillin requires too many experiments. Such drugs can only be used when the patient is in critical condition and is on the verge of death. Zhou Yu obviously cannot take risks here.
Therefore, Lu Xuan has not considered the extraction of penicillin for the time being. He needs to tell Zhang Zhongjing later and let Zhang Zhongjing continue to experiment.
Allicin is the softest and its extraction is not so complicated.
The most important point is that people in this era are not like people in later generations who have taken too many medicines and developed drug resistance. People in this era have not taken any Western medicine, so the effect of allicin in the body will be great.
This is Lu Xuan's confidence in saving Zhou Yu.
After Zhang Zhongjing listened, he was confused. He was a compiler of medical books and had even read through many medical books in ancient times. Because of Lu Xuan's help, countless doctors gathered in Shu County to compile the book together.
Under this premise, Zhang Zhongjing has wider knowledge and knows more news, but he has never heard of allicin?
What's this?
Zhang Zhongjing had some doubts in his heart and asked: "Your Majesty, is the allicin you call possible? Which ancient book recorded it, and which famous doctor handed down the prescription?"
