Chapter 41: Whooping cough
It was already midday, the shops on both sides were closed, and the streets were deserted.
The dome was dark, and the surroundings were dark.
In the distance, there was the sound of a husband banging on a bang and the occasional bark or two.
Xue Ji Medical Center also closed the door and locked it, leaving only one guy who was keeping vigil.
Wei Yi'an slammed the door, "Doctor! Doctor! There was eagerness in his voice.
The sleeping man in the hall woke up suddenly, sat up, put on his clothes, and hurriedly opened the door.
In the dim light of the candle, I saw a woman stepping in.
Wei Yi'an hugged the child with an anxious expression, "Call the doctor quickly!" ”
Seeing this, the man hurriedly went to the back room to call someone, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and someone lifted the curtain of the door and came.
It was still the old doctor, who was only wrapped in a cotton robe and hurriedly came out.
After lighting the lamp, the hall lit up, and without saying much at the moment, the old doctor instructed Wei Yi'an to put Doudou on the couch and immediately went to see him.
Before I got on the pulse, I just saw that the doll's face was flushed, and the voice was different from the shortness of breath between coughs, and I noticed that it was not very good.
After another pulse, the old doctor's complexion suddenly sank for three points, and the same is true for changing his hand and then putting it again.
Wei Yi'an's brows hadn't been raised since he came in, and when he saw his actions at this time, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"What the hell is going on?"
The old doctor put down Doudou's hand and sighed, "It's a cough." ”
Wei Yi'an was stunned for a moment, "What's that?" ”
"Cough is also called whooping cough." The old doctor's tone was a little helpless.
Wei Yi'an's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he looked down at Doudou.
Doudou coughed so hard that she obediently leaned on Wei Yi'an's arms and didn't move, her little hands grabbed her collar, her expression wilted, and her eyes were teary.
Wei Yi'an gently patted his back to give him relief.
She hadn't heard of the term cough, but whooping cough was acute, an acute respiratory infection.
In her previous life, she had this disease when she was vaccinated, and she had this disease when she was a teenager, and it took more than a month to get better.
But what impressed Wei Yi'an about the disease was that there was a girl from a relative's family at her grandmother's house, who was about the same age as her.
Because the disease has an incubation period, it is very similar to the symptoms of the common cold at the beginning, and the adults in the family are too busy to stay at home and do not pay attention.
Later, it dragged on for a week or two under severe disease, causing complications that led to severe pneumonia. They were all sent to the hospital after convulsions, which almost affected the central nervous system and caused mental retardation.
The family gave the doctor a good scolding.
Because she was angry at that time and always refused to take medicine obediently, the old lady told her about this relative to scare her.
But this is an ancient time when the medical conditions were very backward, and it will take a long time to get better in the next generation, and now she has no antibiotics......
Wei Yi'an didn't dare to think about it anymore, and asked anxiously with a white face: "Doctor, how do you say to treat it?" ”
The old doctor reassured: "Now it seems that you found it in time, if you cough to the point of spasms, it will be dangerous." I thought that when I came to the doctor the day before, I already had symptoms, but I couldn't diagnose them. ”
Wei Yi'an nodded, this is not a lie, it is indeed not easy to detect anything unusual at the beginning.
The old doctor said, took a pen and wrote the prescription on the paper, and then said: "In this way, I will prescribe a pair of medicine for you now, only one meal, and you go back to fry it with the child." ”
The guy took the prescription and went to grab the medicine.
It's just that Wei Yi'an is suspicious: "Just one meal?" ”
The old doctor stroked his beard, nodded after a moment of silence and said, "Don't worry, the medicine that the old man just prescribed can temporarily ensure that the disease will not worsen, but it cannot be eradicated." ”
Wei Yi's head tightened, and he listened to the old doctor's unhurried words:
"Therefore, early tomorrow morning, you will go to the ferry port in the north of the town, make some more money, take a fast boat, and go to Hezhou City to find a Yao Danchen Yao Doctor. He specializes in pediatrics, especially for pediatric cough. ”
Saying that, the old doctor got up and found a name card and handed it to Wei Yi'an, "Although he is good at medicine, he is a bit of a bullish person and has a strange temper. I have some relationship with him, and if you hand me my name when you go to the doctor, he will not embarrass you. ”
I also took some cooked pills for her to clear wind and heat, dissolve phlegm and reduce qi.
The old doctor really has a benevolent demeanor, Wei Yi'an thanked him for his benevolence, bowed down to thank him, paid three more layers of honorarium, and hurried away with the child in his arms.
When Doudou drank the medicine and barely fell asleep, Wei Yi'an packed up some clothes and money and put away the old doctor's name card.
Dry food is also available, and the kettle is filled.
I saw the small one, and I didn't worry about the big one, and I saw that there was nothing abnormal, so I went back and lay down in my clothes.
Don't talk about sleeping, squint for a while, there is still an hour before the sky is bright.
Just after the hour, the ferry port in the north of the town has been lively.
There are cargo ships, fishing boats, rice selling boats and large and small passenger ships docked on the shore, and people come and go.
Wei Yi'an was wrapped tightly, holding Doudou, she tied a strip of cloth on her wrist, and the other end was tied to the wrist of the melon seed.
She hugged the small one, afraid that the big one would be scattered by the crowd, and from time to time she reached out to reach it, which looked strange.
Yes, you have to bring melon seeds with you.
can't leave him alone at home, the neighbors are just general friends, and Wei Yi'an is not at ease.
The mother and son took a passing passenger boat, a medium-sized boat with a mast five feet high and twenty-six sails, which looked quite open.
Wei Yi'an asked for a single room, which was not a big place. But the victory is that it is clean and bright, with beds, tables and chairs, and a stove to cook tea and hot rice.
The boat departed at three o'clock, and there was no ferry stop all the way, until the time came, and the state arrived.
The boat docked at the pier, and immediately people rushed up to carry their luggage.
Wei Yi'an frowned, a little worried. He bowed his head and told the melon seeds to hold on to himself, carry the burden, and go ashore with the big one and the small one with the other.
Seeing the three of them dressed up, some people also came to Wei Yi'an to solicit business.
Wei Yi'an recognized the costumes of these people, all of whom were hard-working cart pullers.
So she took his car and reported the address of Dr. Yao, whom the old doctor had told her.
The man said, "From here to the south of the city, you have to cross half the city, and you will get a hundred wen." ”
Wei Yi'an is in a hurry now, and he doesn't bother to bargain with him. "Let's go."
The city tower of Hezhou is naturally not a little bit of the ornamental style of Peach Blossom Town, the huge and strong dougong with the gentle roof ridge, looking magnificent and magnificent.
All the way from Xiling Ferry to the city, nearly a small year, the streets are full of people, noisy and lively.
The carriage was wide, and he could see the rows of shops and wine shops outside the window, but Wei Yi'an didn't have the heart to look at it at this time.
The porter hung a little bell in the corner of the door, and as soon as he shook the whip in his hand, the mule walked steadily, and the bell rattled.
Doudou lay in Wei Yi'an's arms, coughing softly, suddenly attracted by the crisp sound, and flashed his eyes to look.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, I heard the man say that Tonghua Lane had arrived.
