Chapter 40: Stunned
The current situation may be that the imperial physician who diagnosed the disease was not properly administered, or the dosage was wrong, the symptoms were not suppressed, the condition worsened, and a high fever caused Helansheng's mother, who was not strong, fainted due to the high fever; it may also be that the effective cooling and other treatments were not taken while taking the medicine, which led to the fearful symptoms...
Thinking of this, Chen Yi was a little confused. Didn’t the imperial physician in the palace diagnose He Lansheng’s mother properly? This disease is not too difficult to diagnose? But after he looked at the woman lying on the couch, he also understood.
Helansheng's mother has a noble status. Because of her gender, the imperial physician in the palace was concerned about her and did not dare to carefully check her condition, which led to misdiagnosis or no right medicine. This situation occurred.
Fortunately, Helansheng gave him trust and asked him to let him go of the examination, otherwise he would not be able to make the correct diagnosis!
Fortunately, Chen Yi ordered two pretty maids who had been waiting for the job to wipe Helansheng's mother's whole body and tried to find a way to lower the body temperature as soon as possible. Chen Yi was very aware of the harm of high fever to the human body. If the fever lasted for a long time, electrolyte disorders would occur, so the treatment would be more difficult!
He came in time, at least He Lansheng's mother has not yet had the situation he was worried about!
"Young Master Chen, my mother is really nothing serious?" He Lansheng, who was mostly relieved, still asked in a little disbelief.
Chen Yi nodded, and then said to Helansheng in a low voice: "Mr. He, what your mother suffers from is just ordinary pulmonary inflammation - lung abscess, wind temperature, it doesn't matter, but the medication is a bit inappropriate... OK, when the high fever is high, no other response measures such as reducing fever and anti-inflammatory are taken. Now wipe her body with warm water, and the body temperature should be lowered. Prepare the prescription immediately and follow the above, and it will be cured soon!"
Hearing Chen Yi say this, Helansheng was obviously relieved and gave a gift to Chen Yi, "Thank you Mr. Chen, please ask me to prescribe the medicine soon. I will order someone to get the medicine..."
"No problem!" Chen Yi bowed and replied, and followed He Lansheng to the outside room, picked up his pen and wrote the prescription.
Chen Yi's expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases is Chen Yi's expertise. Even without Western medicine, he is very confident that he can use Chinese medicine to cure patients. In later generations, patients with lobular pneumonia really saw too many patients. Chen Yi has great experience in using different methods to treat this respiratory disease. Some pregnant women who are inconvenient to use Western medicine and other special patients are cured with Chinese medicine. He remembers a lot of Chinese medicine prescriptions that can be used.
To treat lobular pneumonia, anti-inflammatory is the most important method. Wipe the body with cold water and the body temperature should be lowered. Then take some anti-inflammatory drugs to control the inflammation. After the acute phase, the patient's own resistance will also increase and will gradually improve.
Chen Yi quickly prescribed a prescription, including herbs such as Huangfen, mountain mast, Sichuan shell, licorice, almond, rhubarb, bamboo leaves, forsythia, wild chrysanthemum and other herbs. This is a prescription called "Liangqian San" in ancient medical books. The prescription should have appeared later than the Tang Dynasty. It seems to be available in the Ming Dynasty. It is specially used to treat lung abscess, that is, lobular pneumonia. It is taken twice a day in the morning and evening, and the treatment effect is quite good.
He Lansheng, who was very calm, took the prescription written by Chen Yi, rushed out of the room, called the housekeeper to send someone to get the medicine.
Several more maids were summoned to hold a basin or a possession in their hands to wipe Helansheng's mother's body. Chen Yi carefully instructed the maids how to wipe it to the most effective way, and they should not let the patient freeze. After wiping for a while, they covered her quilt and tried to sweat a little. After the instructions, he also withdrew from the inner room with Helansheng.
When he left the inner room, he saw a person flashing after the curtains in the house, but he didn't see who he was. When he was just treating someone for a medical treatment, he felt that someone was hiding and peeping invisibly. He was not far from him, but he didn't find any traces of peeping. After seeing someone flashing out, he was sure that someone was peeping just now. Who was he? Chen Yi immediately thought of He Lansheng's younger brother (or sister) He Min.
After he arrived at the He Mansion, he did not see He Min. His mother was sick, and when his daughter was supposed to be with him, he just came in to diagnose their mother, but when Chen Yi came in to treat his illness, he did not see He Min by his side, and even saw his figure. This was unreasonable. It seemed that it was only because of taboo or other reasons that he hid before he came in. Thinking of this, Chen Yi was a little confused.
The maid inside wiped Helansheng's mother over and over again, but no one made a sound. Helansheng stood at the door of the inner room and looked at it a few times. After giving a few instructions inside, he put down the curtain and came to talk to Chen Yi!
"Mr. Chen, thank you..." He Lansheng looked like he was reluctant to speak but stopped. After a few pauses, he finally asked a sentence that was not very consistent with his personality, "Is my mother's illness really okay?"
Helansheng is a free and easy person. He never delays his words and actions. However, he asked Chen Yi several times today. After Chen Yi replied to him confidently, he continued to ask, just because the person who was sick was his mother and his closest relatives, he was confused about his concern. The worry and concern in his heart could not be described in words, so he couldn't help but want to get a more certain answer from Chen Yi.
Chen Yi certainly understood He Lansheng's mood and nodded with certainty, "Mr. He, please rest assured, your mother will not be in trouble, but... the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread. Your mother's illness cannot be cured in an instant. You need to take medicine slowly and recuperate slowly to recover as before, but it will not take too long, and at most it will be cured in seven or eight days. If there is good medicine, then the course of the disease will be shorter... The weather is changing during this period, and anyone is prone to wind and cold. Your mother should also keep warm after recovering from the disease, otherwise it will be more common!"
It’s a pity that there are no penicillin antibiotics nowadays. Otherwise, the treatment of penicillin drugs with lobular pneumonia will definitely be very effective in this era when antibiotics are not abused. In the future, we have to think of ways to develop penicillin drugs with Sun Simiao and others. Developing this special drug can make a lot of money, and even make the medical technology level of the Tang Dynasty change drastically. Didn’t Fleming inadvertently invent penicillin by accident when he saw that Penicillin could inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus? Penicillin is not difficult to find. Besides, he, a top student who is familiar with modern medicine in later generations, it seems that it is not very difficult to make penicillin!
Hearing Chen Yi say this, a light suddenly popped up in Helansheng's eyes, and he couldn't wait to interrupt Chen Yi's thoughts at first: "Young Master Chen, what good medicinal materials are needed, just say that I will definitely find a way to get it. Even if I can't get it, I will... I will beg my grandmother and aunt, don't worry, they will definitely have a way to get it!"
Chen Yi, who was still immersed in the fantasy of penicillin, slowly shook his head, "As far as I know, the medicines recorded in medical books are not available, and there are not in the world. They are just theoretically there. We cannot get them, at least I cannot get them now, what will happen in the future... However, Mr. He doesn't have to worry. The medicines he gave are similar to those special medicines, but the medical effect is slightly slower, but they are also suitable for people like your mother who are not very good in physical condition, which is easy to bear. Mr. He, don't worry, it's okay!"
Helan looked at Chen Yi in confusion, and did not ask any more questions. He sighed slightly and nodded: "Young Master Chen said this, so I am not worried anymore. Fortunately, I followed Master Sun's recommendation and asked you to come over for treatment, otherwise..."
Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand, "Young Master He, don't say that. Your mother's fever has not yet subsided. After taking the medicine for a while, I will go in to the clinic to see if I need to adjust the prescription and dosage!"
“That’s too…”
While speaking, the servants had already brought the decocted hot medicine in. Looking at the maid who was holding the medicine bowl in his little heart, Chen Yi sighed that the people in the He Mansion were really efficient and decocted the medicine in a while. But Chen Yi didn't know that because Helan's mother was sick, the mansion had prepared a lot of medicinal materials, and Chen Yi prescribed medicines in the prescriptions, so there was no need to go out to buy medicine. Of course, it would be faster to decoct with ready-made medicinal materials.
Several maids who wiped Helansheng's mother's body stopped and carefully fed the medicine to the patient. At this time, Helansheng's mother's fever had already receded a little. She was disturbed by the movements of the people around her. Her eyes would open occasionally and she could cooperate with the medicine.
Perhaps because the fever dropped a little, Helansheng's mother was no longer restless after taking the medicine after cooling down and taking the medicine.
-----------------
Chen Yi, who had a conversation with the absent-minded Helansheng for a while, learned about Helansheng's mother's situation and went in for a check-up. It was an hour before Helansheng's mother took the medicine.
The examination surprised him a little. Mrs. Gui's breathing was smoother than before, and her body heat was not as high as before. It seemed that the physical cooling effect was effective and the medicine was also effective. The situation should be better in the future.
Patients with fever generally do not sleep well. When Chen Yi was checking on her, Helansheng's mother hummed a few times in a daze, but did not open her eyes. Facing the inquiring gazes of Helansheng and several maids, Chen Yi stood up, nodded at Helansheng, and smiled.
He Lansheng understood and silently made a request to Chen Yi. The two of them walked out of the inner room without making any sound.
As soon as he walked out of the inner room and had not yet taken a seat, Helansheng asked impatiently: "Mr. Chen, how is my mother's situation?"
Chen Yi smiled and told He Lansheng not to be nervous, "Mr. He, your mother has improved a lot, her fever has subsided, her breathing has been smoother, and her heartbeat has slowed down. Your mother's condition has recovered better than we thought. I will ask someone to wipe her body for her later and feed her medicine again after two hours. If nothing unexpected happens, her fever will subside tonight and she will wake up!"
Hearing Chen Yi say this, He Lansheng let down most of the heart. After breathing a sigh of relief, he smiled on his face and said with a thank you: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, just be fine, my mother is fine, we were scared to death before!"
"Brother, how are you sick?" Before Chen Yi could reply politely, a crisp female voice rang out, and then someone lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner room.
