Fleeing from famine and farming: I made a fortune by relying on medical skills

Chapter 182 Malaria Infection
"Doctor Huang is very smart! I haven't said anything yet, you can see it, and I ask Doctor Huang to help save the people in this prefecture." Li Zhifu was surprised that Doctor Huang was so short in a short period of time. Seeing that the refugees had the plague and spread the plague, he bowed his hands to Huang Zisu solemnly and begged.

"Healing the sick and saving lives is our doctor's duty, and I am naturally obliged.

Don't you know that these refugees are infected with that plague?

If so!Li Zhifu, you have vacated a tent for me to study and see the infected refugees.

You carry three people into separate tents. Of the three infected refugees, one must be newly ill, one has been ill for a long time, and one has become seriously ill. , By the way, I brought along the prescriptions they drank, I have to take a closer look, and prepare two people to wait outside to grab the medicine, run errands and so on.

As for the others, there is no need for everyone to stay where they are before they know what kind of plague it is and how to treat it, so as not to spread the plague further. " Huang Zisu's heart changed sharply, so she ordered Li Zhifu to say.

She was not surprised that Li Zhifu came here to ask for help.

It should be that their uncle and nephew managed this group of refugees, and none of the refugees were infected with this unknown plague, which attracted the attention of the prefect Li and asked for help.

It seems that before I asked these refugees to drink anti-epidemic prescriptions, the food they ate were all cooked from anti-epidemic prescriptions, and the daily necessities were also smoked with drugs, so that the refugees under my jurisdiction avoided this unknown plague .

Huang Zisu also had some guesses in her heart, this unknown plague should not be very severe, otherwise, it is impossible to prevent those ferocious contagious plagues just by drinking anti-epidemic medicines.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now. Doctor Huang, please come with me." Li Zhifu saw that Huang Zisu was not procrastinating and offered to help. He saw that she had a sense of the overall situation at a young age, regardless of her own safety, and contacted and studied unknown plague patients. , he was satisfied with Huang Zisu again.

After Li Zhifu led Huang Zisu to the newly separated tent, he immediately ordered the soldiers to find the three patients that Huang Zisu said, and sent them to the tent to let Huang Zisu treat these refugees who were infected with an unknown plague. We can find the cause and rescue this crisis.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you now?" Huang Zisu saw that the people Li Zhifu brought to him were an uncle in his 30s, an aunt in his 30s, and an eight or nine-year-old boy.

Among the three, Huang Zisu saw that the uncle had a milder disease, the aunt was slightly more serious, and the boy was the most serious. She first asked the uncle with the milder disease to find out the cause of the disease and what kind of plague it was, so that she could prescribe the right medicine.

"It's just aversion to cold, fear of cold, nothing else?" The uncle shuddered.

At this time, he was not in the mood to care why a girl in her teens was treating him.

Not only because of physical discomfort, but also because more than half of the refugees in the tent he was in were infected with this disease, and the medicine did not work.

Although the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with it and was covering up something, he knew that it must be some kind of plague.

He was so worried that he was afraid of death. He didn't care who was treating him. Now that so many people in Yunfu City were infected with the plague, it would be nice if someone took care of him.

After that, Huang Zisu took the pulse of the uncle, and looked at the uncle's tongue coating.

Judging from the pulse condition and tongue coating, it is true that he has contracted a cold.

However, she read the prescription prescribed by the previous doctor for this uncle, and the medicine prescribed was also for the treatment of wind and cold. Taking the medicine not only failed to cure the wind and cold, but also continued to aggravate the condition.

This refugee didn't catch a cold, it should be some other disease.

"Uncle, what's the matter with the rashes on your arms and feet? Did these rashes appear before or after the onset?" Huang Zisu suddenly saw several red spots on the uncle's arms. Under the armpit, and it was dark, Huang Zisu didn't see it all at once, she almost didn't notice it.

However, Huang Zisu stared at the red spots on the uncle's hands that seemed to be bitten by mosquitoes, and Huang Zisu seemed to have found some clues.

"It's there when you get sick."

"Okay, I got it." Afterwards, Huang Zisu walked towards the aunt again, and after asking the aunt a few questions, she still found the same red rash on the aunt's body as the uncle's.

Moreover, the number of rashes on this aunt's body is more than that of the uncle.

Huang Zisu probably knew what kind of plague these refugees had contracted, so she continued walking towards the boy.

Seeing that the boy had a high fever accompanied by profuse sweating, and that the rash on his body was much more than that of the uncle and aunt, it is no wonder that he had the most severe disease.

Chills, fever, and sweating all over the body, accompanied by red spots on the body from mosquito bites, combined, these refugees should be infected with malaria, or malaria.

Malaria is a vector-borne infectious disease caused by infection with Plasmodium through the bite of Anopheles mosquito or the transfusion of the blood of a person with Plasmodium.

There are four types of Plasmodium parasites in the human body, namely Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium ovale.

This group of refugees did not transfuse the blood of people with malaria parasites, and they contracted malaria very quickly, so they could rule out Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium ovale.

Three-day malaria is different from other plagues. It is highly contagious, but less fatal. As long as the source of the infection is killed, the infected person can drink medicine for treatment, and those with strong resistance can be cured soon.

After finding out what diseases these refugees are suffering from and the source, Huang Zisu can prescribe the right medicine.

Huang Zisu wrote a pen and quickly wrote a prescription.

Bupleurum (three qian), Scutellaria baicalensis (two qian), Anemarrhena (three qian), Lushen (three qian), turtle shell (three qian, roasted with vinegar), Qing Pinellia (two qian), Changshan (money and half, fried with wine), Cao Guo ( One qian) licorice (one qian), distiller's yeast (three qian), ginger (three qian), jujube (two pieces, smashed open).

For those with malaria at the beginning, reduce Lushen and turtle shells.If it is very hot, add raw gypsum five or six qian or even one tael.If it is very cold, add Caoguo five cents or even one cent.

Afterwards, Huang Zisu wrote another prescription for smoking.

After prescribing two prescriptions, Huang Zisu opened the tent, wanting to call for someone to grab the medicine, so let the three refugees try this prescription first.

As soon as she opened the tent, she saw Li Zhifu, Li Dai, and several people Huang Zisu didn't know gathered around. Li Zhifu couldn't wait to ask Huang Zisu: "Doctor Huang, can you find the cause and know what kind of plague the refugees have contracted?" ?”
