Chapter 1004 Tick Bites

Zhang Feng stretched out his hand to help him. The superior soldier was a little frightened and said, "Chief, I can do it myself."

What a joke, the major general drove here personally to see a doctor today, which was enough to make him suffer for the rest of his life.

"Hurry up, don't worry about mother-in-law and mother-in-law."

Zhang Feng grabbed the superior soldier, making the superior soldier extremely embarrassed.

Everyone saw a strange but heart-warming scene. A major general walked into Bian Que Hall supporting a superior soldier.

"Zhang Feng, here!" Qin Fan waved.

He then ordered, "Nurse Xiaoling, please pour two glasses of water."

Zhang Feng supported the superior soldier and walked over, "Qin Fan, quickly show me this soldier."

Qin Fan looked at the superior soldier, his face looked sleepy and his spirit was not good.

"Well, please sit down quickly." Qin Fan motioned for the two of them to sit down.

"Commander, please take a seat!" The superior soldier quickly pulled out a chair for Zhang Feng.

"You are sick. Sit down and let Mr. Qin take a look at you." Zhang Feng said.

"Commander, if you don't want to sit down, I won't either!" the superior soldier said very stubbornly.

There was no other way. Zhang Feng stared, became serious, and shouted in a low voice: "Wu Tianxi!"

"Arrived!" The soldier who called Wu Tianxi leaned on his feet and stood upright.

"Sit down! This is an order!"

Wu Tianxi became honest now and hesitated a little before sitting down.

Qin Fan smiled slightly.

He saw another side of Zhang Feng today. This was not a show, but a real treat of soldiers as brothers and relatives.

Nurse Xiaoling smiled and brought tea to the two of them and placed it on the table.

"You all should drink some water. I see you have come down from the training ground, right?" Qin Fan said.

Zhang Feng nodded, "Yes, he had a fever, fatigue, and a headache. I found him at the training ground."

"Haha, although it's a good thing that you can't get out of the line of fire if you're slightly injured, you can't be careless if you're sick."

"Xiao Wu, let me know your pulse." Qin Fan said.

Wu Tianxi stretched out his wrist and placed it on the pulse pillow.

Qin Fan put three fingers on his pulse and then looked at the other person's tongue coating and complexion.

He also felt the other person's forehead with the back of his hand, and it was indeed a little warm.

Judging from the four diagnostic tests alone, it did look like a cold, but Qin Fan was not in a hurry to draw conclusions.

Then he asked: "Did you take a cold shower before you got sick?"

Wu Tianxi shook his head, "No, I was fine two days ago. Since the day before yesterday, I have been feeling a little weak and have palpitations."

"When did the fever appear?"

"When I woke up this morning, I felt something was wrong. I felt particularly uncomfortable during training," Wu Tianxi said.

"How has your appetite been over the past two days?"

"It's not very good. I feel sick when I see greasy meat." Wu Tianxi shook his head again.

"Are there any other abnormal behaviors?" Qin Fan asked again.

"I also feel some swelling and pain in the joints all over my body." Wu Tianxi paused and then said: "Oh, I don't know when, a scab appeared on the back of my neck."

"It's slightly itchy. I asked my comrades to look at it for me. It's just a scab from a small wound."

"But I don't have any impression of this minor injury, and it never healed."

Immediately, Qin Fan frowned.

His eyes fell on Wu Tianxi's training uniform, which was still stained with dust.

Suddenly a possibility came to mind, "Xiao Wu, take off your shirt and let me check it."

Wu Tianxi was stunned immediately and felt a little embarrassed.

There are not only other patients in this hall, but also nurses who are busy going back and forth. Even Nurse Xiaoling is standing here.

"Take it off quickly!" Zhang Feng said.

Although he was a little confused, he knew that Qin Fan must have thought of something.

After being ordered by the chief, Wu Tianxi had no choice but to take off his shirt, revealing his wheat-colored upper body, with well-developed chest muscles, biceps, and abdominal muscles.

Nurse Xiaoling on the side saw her heart pounding wildly.

Wu Tianxi's face was slightly red, and he was very embarrassed.

Qin Fan walked behind Wu Tianxi and saw a scab the size of a copper coin on the back of Wu Tianxi's neck.

The skin is reddish purple with a black spot the size of a soybean in the middle.

Qin Fan turned on the strong flashlight. Under the strong light, the black spot was actually not pure black, but tinged with red.

After looking at it with his clairvoyance, he said, "It really is a tick."

"Qin Fan, are you saying there are ticks here in Wu Tianxi?" Zhang Feng asked in shock.

"Yes, ticks are also called dog turtles, cattle lice, and grass crawlers. They are often hidden in forests, grass, and among the fur of animals."

"Zhang Feng, look here, this is the tail of the tick. It is only the size of a sesame seed, but now it has become the size of a soybean after sucking blood."

Zhang Feng took a closer look and found that it was exactly what Qin Fan said.

"Wu Tianxi, you didn't feel anything when you were bitten?"

Wu Tianxi shook his head, "Chief, I don't feel anything."

Qin Fan explained: "Tick bites are not like mosquitoes. They don't cause obvious pain and itching, so they are not easy to detect."

"Fortunately, we found it in time. Don't underestimate this tick. In severe cases, it can kill people."

"He bites the skin and buries his whole head into the skin to suck blood, which can lead to bacterial infection in the human body. Generally, the incubation period is 2-3 days."

"The symptoms are similar to those of a cold, so it is easy to be misdiagnosed."

"If it is delayed any longer, the symptoms will become more and more severe and will eventually cause the failure of various organs in the human body."

Zhang Feng was shocked, and Wu Tianxi also became a little nervous.

They always thought it was a cold, but they didn't expect it was a tick bite, and according to Qin Fan, it was very dangerous.

Qin Fan said with a smile: "Don't be too nervous. This is just the beginning. Take out the tick and take some medicine and it will be fine."

He paused and then said to Zhang Feng: "Ticks, scrub typhus, and cryptids in the grass can bite people and cause harm to the human body."

"So, when you are training, you should pay attention to protection and tighten your cuffs, collars, and trousers."

"If possible, apply a little insect repellent to exposed skin."

"When you return to the camp, you need to check carefully, bathe and change clothes frequently. As long as you are careful, this can be avoided."

"If you are bitten, remember to seek medical attention. Do not remove the bug yourself, as it will be more dangerous."

"The bugs themselves contain bacteria. Once the bugs are not removed and die in the skin, the probability of infection increases."

"These bugs like to live in skin folds, such as behind the ears, neck and groin."

"Oh, I understand." Zhang Feng nodded.

He memorized everything Qin Fan said and prepared to write it down in writing for all the soldiers to remember it and memorize it.

Afterwards, Qin Fan checked Wu Tianxi's armpit and found no more bites.

"Xiaoling, go get the alcohol and tweezers." Qin Fan ordered.

Xiaoling quickly sent a few things over.

Qin Fan soaked a ball of cotton wool with alcohol and covered the tick's area.

Anesthetize the tick while disinfecting it.

After repeating it several times, Qin Fan carefully took out the insect body with tweezers.

A complete insect is placed on the white paper, about the size of a soybean, with its little legs still squirming.

Nurse Xiaoling who was watching from the side had goosebumps all over her body.

Qin Fan took out the Chinese ointment that cools blood and detoxifies and applied it to the wound.

I wrote down a classic prescription called Bupleurum Guizhi Decoction.

The formula is composed of Bupleurum, Guizhi, Scutellaria baicalensis, Ginseng, Licorice, Pinellia ternata, etc.

This prescription is a traditional harmonious prescription, suitable for diseases such as weight loss, alternation of cold and heat, abdominal pain, joint pain, fever, headache and other diseases.

After a while, nurse Xiaoling helped me prepare the Chinese medicine, a total of two doses.
