Because Lin Mengli works as a waiter in a restaurant in the town, he is considered one of the better-off families in the clan (but in the eyes of clan leader Lin, he is not doing his job properly and he doesn't like him very much). The houses in the yard are decorated with oysters.
Made of shells and stones, it can withstand the wind.
Lin Wanwan took off her raincoat under the eaves at the door. The shoes under her feet had already been wet by the wind and rain. There was no way, the raincoat's ability to keep out the rain was limited. In this kind of stormy weather, unless she wore modern raincoats, rain pants and rain boots, she would not be able to protect herself from the rain.
Same.
After entering the house, Lin Wanwan took out a handkerchief and wiped her head and face to prevent too much moisture from entering the back room.
In the back room, a weak oil lamp was lit, and Lin Mengli's wife, Mrs. Shen, was sitting on the bedside taking care of the child.
The smell in the room was so sour and unpleasant that I felt like I had diarrhea and vomiting. It was strange that it smelled so good.
Lin Wanwan stepped forward and pretended to place her hand on the little guy's wrist pulse, but in fact she was just observing his condition.
Lin Mengli's son is five years old this year. He is a relatively thin and timid child. He has not yet been given a formal clan name, so his nickname is Goudan.
At this moment, seeing him lying on the bed covered in fever and sweating, still wrapped in a thick quilt, and his lips were chapped and chapped, he looked really pitiful.
Mrs. Chen and her mother-in-law Ms. Shen both stared at Lin Wanwan, feeling extremely anxious.
"Wan Niang, do you think the child can be saved like this? He was twitching just now, but now he is no longer twitching but there is no movement, wuwuwu, my eldest grandson! It hurts me so much!" Mrs. Shen is Lin Wanwan.
As soon as she came in, she was about to kneel down to her, but Huanong stepped forward and held her back.
Lin Wanwan touched Goudan's forehead. It was hot, and it was probably 39 degrees upward. She immediately avoided the eyes of others, opened the medicine box in the backlight, took out the ear thermometer inside, and covered it with her wide sleeves.
Sight took Goudan’s temperature, and sure enough, it was 39 degrees Celsius!
Lin Wanwan put away the ear thermometer, took out the small cup of Motrin ibuprofen suspension that had been poured from the medicine box before, lifted the quilt directly, picked up the little guy's head and fed it to his mouth, murmuring softly: "
Goudan, open your mouth, I'll give you the medicine, and you won't feel uncomfortable after taking it, ah, be good."
Lin Gou Sheng opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at Lin Wanwan, opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine. This kind of antipyretic medicine for children has a hint of sucrose sweetness, and the little guy didn't resist it at all.
After giving her the antipyretic medicine, Lin Wanwan directed Mrs. Shen to clean up all the filth in the room, and asked Huanong to bring in a basin of warm water with the hot water he brought, and asked Mrs. Chen to take off Goudan's clothes and wipe him.
Physical cooling.
Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Chen were very hesitant after hearing this. Mrs. Shen took a broom and asked: "Wan Niang, the baby is so sick because he caught a cold. Why don't you wrap yourself up in quilt and take off your clothes?"
Lin Wanwan couldn't give them a common sense lesson, so she just gave a firm order: "Aunt, if you believe in my medical skills, just listen to me. If you don't, go to the town and hire someone else. I'll go back immediately."
Mrs. Shen panicked and said hurriedly: "Xinxinxin! Son, please wipe my grandson's body quickly, wipe your body quickly! Listen to Wan Niang!"
After Mrs. Chen wiped Lin Goudan's body several times, Lin Wanwan took out the rehydration salt, poured it into the small porcelain cup in her medicine box, mixed it with cold warm water, and then helped the little guy to feed the rehydration salt.
After a while, the soaked montmorillonite powder was fed again.
After all the medicines that could be given were given, Lin Wanwan felt that she was of no use for the time being, so she said to Mrs. Chen: "Give Goudan the medicine. After a while, the medicine will be effective, and his fever will subside, but it cannot be ruled out that it will happen again."
, just observe it.
If he has severe diarrhea or vomiting, call me in the morning and I will give him medicine again. If you cannot control the amount of medicine, I will not keep the medicine."
Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Chen hurriedly sent her off and asked worriedly: "Wan Niang, Goudan's condition is serious. Do you think you should notify his father to come back..."
Lin Wanwan herself was not too sure, so she said: "Let's observe first. If the fever can't go away by tomorrow morning, it's serious. When you go to town to call Brother Meng Li, you can hire a doctor from Lu Yan."
When Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Chen heard this, they both panicked, but they had no choice but to watch Lin Wanwan put on her raincoat, carry her medicine box, and leave with her maid Huanong.
"Hey, Grandpa Dragon King, please keep my grandson safe and sound!" Mrs. Shen knelt down and begged in front of the wind and rain outside.
Mrs. Chen went back to her room, listened to Lin Wanwan, and continued to rub Goudan's body to cool down. She could only do this kind of thing. Their family was very thin. Over the years, they had not raised their youngest son, but they only had
Plant such a single seedling.
That night, Lin Mengli's wife, mother, and younger brother didn't sleep well, and Lin Wanwan, the "barefoot doctor" who was forced to go online, didn't sleep well at all.
The medical conditions in ancient times were so poor that she was really worried about Goudan's condition.
She felt that if the antipyretics she brought from modern times could not suppress Goudan's body temperature, then the situation must be serious, and she did not believe that the native doctors of the Tang Dynasty could come up with any better solution.
Because she traveled to the Tang Dynasty, Lin Wanwan still gained a lot of historical knowledge about the Tang Dynasty. In terms of medical treatment, even the doctors from the Imperial Palace Medical Office and the Shang Pharmacy were not necessarily very good.
At least drawing talismans to drive away evil spirits, hugging chickens to drive away illnesses, performing magic tricks to drive away ghosts, etc., all existed openly in the medical community of the Tang Dynasty.
Perhaps old gods like Sun Simiao have real abilities and real medical skills under their hands, but ordinary folk doctors may not have enough medical skills.
She asked Mrs. Chen to go to the town to hire Dr. Lu Yan, but she just asked him to be a living doctor. She would do her best so that if something happened... she wouldn't be too painful and regretful.
Lin Wanwan, who couldn't sleep, dug out the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" and "Parenting Encyclopedia" from the locked cabinet and opened them. She was now particularly like a community doctor in the United States, reading medical books before seeing a doctor.
It wasn't until dawn that Lin Wanwan put away the book, lay down and slept for a while.
Fortunately, the next morning, Lin Mengli's younger brother, fifteen-year-old Lin Mengzhou, brought good news. Lin Goudan's high fever subsided and the diarrhea stopped.
Medicines from thousands of years ago are still very effective for people from thousands of years ago. After all, their bodies don’t have that much drug resistance.
Lin Wanwan felt relieved.
She took the medical kit and took another look at Lin Goudan, fed him montmorillonite powder and rehydration salts again, gave him some fruits, and told Mrs. Chen: "Let him eat lighter these days and eat more."
Eat fruits and vegetables. If you have a high fever again, call me again. If you don’t have a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, you’ll be fine.”
"Thank you Wan Niang, thank you for being here. Wan Niang, you are really a noble person in our family! I was really scared to death last night, thank you for being here!" Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Shen kept saying their thanks, and they were so excited that they were indescribable.
.
Lin Wanwan's medical skills were immediately effective, and in their opinion, they were simply miraculous.
