Chapter 71: Worried about the illness of your children
"Emperor, Xiao Yue is sick, and Minister Xuanyun of the Ministry of Health is treating Xiao Yue."
Xiao Yiran didn't care about asking anything else, raised his feet and followed Xiao Ju, and trotted to Xiao Yue's room. Seeing Xiao Yue's little face flushed in Xiaozhu's arms, Xiao Yiran's heart tightened,
"It can't be a cold and fever, right?"
Xiao Yue, who was in Xiaozhu's arms, saw Xiao Yiran coming in, stretched out two small hands, and called weakly:
"Mom."
Xiao Yiran hurriedly hugged Xiao Yue over, and put his face on Xiao Yue's red face, feeling that Xiao Yue's face was a little hot, Xiao Yiran was sure that Xiao Yue really had a fever.
"Xuanyun, what medicine can reduce fever?"
"Emperor, there are banlan roots, honeysuckle, bupleurum, yuanzhi, etc., all of which can reduce fever, and I have already ordered someone to decoction medicinal soup."
Xiao Yiran also knows these herbs. Originally, the people here would only pound fresh herbs into juice for the patients to take, and the method of decocting the medicine and boiling the soup was taught to them by Xiao Yiran.
"Xiaozhu, when did Xiao Yue start to have a fever? Have you been in contact with other children during this time? ”
"Emperor, Xiao Yue was still playing with other children in the amusement park in the morning, and Xiao Ming was also there. Just after lunch, I took a nap and woke up like that. ”
"Xuanyun, how many of those herbs you said are stored in the clan?"
"Emperor, there are quite a few."
"That's good, you immediately order someone to fry more medicinal soup, not only for Xiao Yue to drink, but also for the children who have been in contact with Xiao Yue to drink some to prevent infection. If there are not enough herbs, arrange for someone to collect them immediately. In the future, these herbs should be prepared more. ”
"Yes, Emperor."
Xuanyun agreed, turned around and went to arrange.
Xiao Yiran hugged Xiao Yue, and saw that Xiao Yue was not crying, but was listless.
"Yueyue, don't you feel hot?"
"Hmm."
"It will be very bitter to drink medicine for a while, is Yueyue afraid?"
"Yueyue is not afraid."
"Good boy, Yueyue is so good."
"Mom."
At this time, Xiao Ming also ran back from outside, and Xiao Yiran hurriedly stopped him from coming over.
"Xiao Ming, my sister is sick, don't come here, otherwise it will infect you. You'd better let Satellite Daddy and them stay for you to play. ”
"Mom, will my sister be okay?"
"Of course it will, let's go out and play, don't come to see my sister again until my sister is well, remember?"
"Remember, Mom."
A few days ago, Xiao Yiran also thought that since Xiao Ming was born, he is almost four years old now, and he has never been sick. Xiao Yue is also more than a year old and has never been sick. Xiao Yiran was secretly glad in his heart, thinking that it was because of the environment that no one had polluted here, as well as the food. Unlike in the pre-rebirth era, children always got sick every once in a while. No, within a few days, Xiao Yue had a fever. If you just drink some cold powder or something like that before you are reborn, you can be cured, and if it is not good, you will definitely be cured by taking a drip. But here, a cold and fever became a serious illness.
Xiao Yiran couldn't help but secretly make up his mind that he must solve this problem. Only by keeping the tribesmen healthy and prolonging the life span of the tribesmen as much as possible can the dragon clan be able to reproduce and develop rapidly. Although Xiao Yiran knows that it is difficult to produce even the simplest medicine before rebirth in this era, it will always be difficult to think of a way.
After a while, Xuanyun brought up the boiled medicinal soup, Xiao Yiran personally fed Xiao Yue to drink, and after watching Xiao Yue fall asleep in his arms, he handed it to Xiaozhu and Xiaoju, and told the two to guard Xiao Yue every step of the way, and notify himself immediately when Xiao Yue woke up. Only then did he bring Xuanyun and other people from the Ministry of Health to the amusement park.
"Xuanyun, can you arrange for someone to boil the medicine?"
"Emperor, it has been arranged, and it will be fine later."
"Wei Lu and Wei Shou, the two of you go and gather all the children in the amusement park, and let them drink the medicine later."
"Yes, Emperor."
"Xuanyun, has there ever been such a fever in your clan before?"
"It has appeared, and every time it appears, as the emperor fears, it will always infect many people. And every time someone dies, especially children, the smaller they are, the harder it is to get through. ”
"Then did you treat them with this medicine as well?"
"Yes, Emperor. At that time, though, they were just given fresh herbal juice. ”
"Xuanyun, in the future, I will work this, and try my best to prepare a recipe with remarkable efficacy. Go back and show me the recipe you made this time. ”
"Yes."
"Also, every time you boil medicine, you have to keep a record of the dosage of various herbs, so that you can change the prescription in the future. I have a principle here about dispensing, and I'm going to tell you about it. ”
Xiao Yiran sorted out the common-sense knowledge about the configuration of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions in his mind, looked at the respectful Xuanyun in front of him, and said:
"Formulating a prescription is like building a race, and there must also be a main medicine, and the main medicine is like the patriarch of the group. Secondly, there are several key auxiliary medicines, just like the left hand and right arm of the patriarch in the group. It can be simply called 'the monarch and the minister', the king is the main medicine, the minister is the key auxiliary herb, and the assistant is second, so that it is again.
I guess it's hard for you to fully comprehend it for a while, but when you think about it when you go back, you can also tell the rest of the people in the Ministry of Health that the strength of everyone will always be greater than the strength of one person. ”
"Yes, Emperor."
Xiao Yiran knew that he couldn't figure things out, and it was not easy for Xuanyun and the others to figure it out. Perhaps, for the rest of his life, Xuanyun will not be able to understand. However, Xiao Yiran still decided to sue them, and if it is passed down from generation to generation, there will always be people who understand.
As long as people live, they must have hope and goals. After being reborn, Xiao Yiran understood the meaning of this sentence even more.
Xiao Yue drank the medicinal soup, and after waking up after sleeping for a while, her body temperature dropped slightly. Although Xiao Yiran is still worried, after all, with the curative effect, it is equivalent to seeing hope. Xiao Yiran no longer arranged for the guards to sleep, and stayed by Xiao Yue's side at night. Every two hours, Xiao Yue was fed medicinal soup. The next morning, although Xiao Yue still had a fever, her face was no longer as red as it was at the beginning, and it was close to a normal person's complexion.
It's just that what Xiao Yiran was most worried about still happened. Xuanyun and others came to report early in the morning:
"Emperor, overnight, eleven more young children in the clan have a fever."
"Xuanyun, immediately send someone to isolate these children with fever from normal children, and let their families take good care of them. At the same time, every two hours, these children with fever are given medicine. ”
Xiao Yiran turned back and instructed the satellite beside him:
"Lead Xiao Ming away from these children, go to the smelter and training ground on the west bank for a few days, and then come back after the condition here is controlled."
This time, the fever came very quickly, and in just one and a half days, more than half of the children under the age of ten in the group fell ill. Seeing that the Ministry of Health was short of manpower, Xiao Yiran immediately asked the remaining Ministry of Finance personnel to join in the work of decocting and feeding sick children. At the same time, Xiang Lin was asked to send some soldiers to assist the Ministry of Health in collecting medicinal herbs. And the relatives of those sick children, without commanding, also took the initiative to devote themselves to it, and the entire dragon clan suddenly became busy.
Under the careful care of Xiao Yiran, Xuanyun, Xiaozhu, Xiaoju and others, Xiao Yue had completely subsided by the evening of the third day. After the fever subsides, it means that Xiao Yue has recovered. Not all sick children are as lucky as Xiao Yue, and two toddlers of five or six months old have died during this period. Fortunately, people in this era are not overly surprised by the death of babies, although they cannot be said to be commonplace. The death of the two babies did not bring panic to the dragons. Seeing this, Xiao Yiran breathed a deep sigh of relief. What she fears most is that the whole group will panic about this, and people in this era do not think about the death of their children because of illness, but tend to think about the gods. In the event of a large-scale illness or disaster, the first thing they think of is to offend the gods, and it will be difficult to appease them.
Xiao Yiran understands that most of the infectious diseases like this are caused by viruses. Some viruses have a history even older than the history of human beings. Xiao Yiran regretted a little, if only he could read some books on Chinese medicine before he was reborn. She only remembered that the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing had written a book "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", which included the current outbreak of influenza in the dragon clan. There is also Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty who wrote a book "Qianjin Fang", which recorded countless prescriptions for common diseases. Xiao Yiran thought that it would be good if he had read these two books at that time.
Xiao Yiran knew that regret was useless. At that time, I was just an archaeology student, and there was no need to dabble in medical knowledge. The top priority now is to bring the disease under control within the community as soon as possible and prevent the disease from spreading further. In particular, it can no longer be transmitted to adults.
There are some things that are not subject to human will. The more Xiao Yiran feared that the disease would spread to adults, the more things would go in the opposite direction of his wishes. Within a few days of Xiao Yue's recovery, some adults began to have fever symptoms.
Xiao Yiran hurriedly convened a meeting of elders.
"Inform the clansmen who are building the new station and the Yongsan station that no one is allowed to come back without my permission."
This was the first order Xiao Yiran announced at the Council of Elders, and she would never allow the disease of the Mengyuehe Station to spread to the new station, as well as to the Longshan station.
"Isolate all people who have symptoms of fever, and those who have close contact with them, isolate them separately. After three days of observation, if there are no symptoms of fever, then regain their freedom. The above two things were completed by Xiang Lin and the army. ”
"The Ministry of Health is the mainstay, supplemented by the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Textiles has also temporarily put aside the work at hand to fully assist the Ministry of Health in treating patients."
