She smiled as she spoke, pretending to be relaxed: "It's okay. I'm a half-Chinese medicine practitioner now. I can diagnose pulses and give acupuncture. We have a full range of medicines, including various advanced antibiotics. There must be a way to save grandma."
She glanced around at everyone in the room and didn't say the rest.
In fact, it’s not just Grandma Pang, everyone else is in danger.
Because the Puras virus is so highly contagious, it can be transmitted through a simple contact. The family eats and lives together, and if Grandma Pang is infected, the others must have been infected as well. However, Grandma Pang has the weakest immunity among them, so she was the first to show it.
"Dad, Mom, Xiao Yu, Mu Mu, from now on, we will eat and sleep separately to minimize infection. Mom, I'll give you some mugwort later. You can figure out how to make food for us to eat. The rest of us can fumigate the house together."
"it is good!"
The family took quick action.
Zhou Shuwan sat next to Grandma Pang and closely observed her physical changes.
Qi Mingyu came over wearing a mask, his eyes filled with a bit of depression and he whispered to Zhou Shuwan, "Wanwan, it's too dangerous. Let me take care of grandma. You go out."
Zhou Shuwan gently held his hand and smiled, "Just now, we were in front of Mu Mu, so I couldn't be too blunt. But actually, I also had this virus in my previous life. At that time, there was no medicine available. Later, I heard that mugwort was effective, but at that time, I only had mutant potatoes, so there was no trace of mugwort. So I just endured it, using ice cubes to reduce fever and drinking hot water for coughs. Maybe I'm lucky, I actually survived like this."
The more Qi Mingyu listened, the more distressed he felt. His jaw was clenched and his big hands held hers tightly.
"So, I have more experience than you. You go out and I'll stay here to take care of grandma."
Qi Mingyu was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Together!"
"Okay!" Zhou Shuwan knew that he was worried, so she didn't refuse.
The room was filled with the rich aroma of mugwort. After a while, Zhong Tiyun knocked on the door and brought over two bowls of mugwort soup.
In order to maintain the maximum medicinal effect, Zhong Tiyun only washed the mugwort and then boiled it in a porcelain pot for boiling Chinese medicine, and then gave each person a bowl to drink.
This taste...
It can only be said to have the usual taste of Chinese medicine.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu both drank the mugwort soup in one gulp.
Zhou Shuwan finally spoke: "Actually, I thought grandma would get it later."
Viruses like Pfizer do not end with just one epidemic, but have several cycles.
The virus will not weaken and gradually disappear until everyone has antibodies in their bodies.
With each epidemic, the virus becomes less toxic.
Therefore, the mortality rate among the first group of people infected was very high.
In the previous life, the Puras virus appeared when the temperature stabilized and no longer dropped. So after confirming that the temperature remained unchanged in this life, Zhou Shuwan immediately took various preventive measures. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't prevent Grandma Pang from being infected.
Grandma Pang had a high fever that wouldn't go away. When her fever reached 39 degrees, Zhou Shuwan didn't wait any longer and gave her some antipyretic medicine.
Half an hour later, Grandma Pang's fever subsided.
But her whole body was soaked with sweat. Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu helped Grandma Pang change into clean pajamas and pants, and also changed the sheets and quilt.
Zhou Shuwan also had some mugwort liquid in stock, so he took out an infusion tube and gave Grandma Pang an infusion of mugwort liquid and glucose.
She had no intention of going to the hospital, so she asked someone to ask for leave from the hospital.
Soon, in the middle of the night, Grandma Pang's temperature rose to 39 degrees.
Zhou Shuwan gave her some antipyretic medicine.
Qi Mingyu knew that if the two of them stayed up all night like this, their immunity would be reduced, so he forced Zhou Shuwan to go back and rest.
He would wait until Grandma Pang's fever flared up again and then go call her.
After taking antipyretic medicine, it usually takes half an hour to take effect, and then lasts for 2-4 hours before the fever recurs.
Zhou Shuwan looked at the red bloodshot in Qi Mingyu's eyes and knew that he was worried about her, so she did not refuse.
Went back to my room to rest.
She set the alarm for two hours later and fell into a deep sleep.
Two hours later, the alarm clock woke her up. She went to Grandma Pang's room and found that Grandma Pang's temperature had risen again.
Qi Mingyu was patiently cooling her down physically.
"The temperature is rising too fast!" Zhou Shuwan frowned, "I can't take any more fever-reducing medicine."
Antipyretics are generally taken every 4 hours, and no more than 4 times a day.
Qi Mingyu was very worried: "What should we do? Should we send grandma to the hospital?"
Zhou Shuwan shook her head. "Grandma just had a fever overnight. It's still in the early stages of the virus. The only symptom now is a fever. Don't worry, let's try it at home. If we go to the hospital, we might get cross-infected with various viruses, which is not safe. Besides, by then, we won't be able to explain how this wormwood liquid was stockpiled, nor will we be able to tell the doctor why it was used."
Qi Mingyu didn't expect this.
"Moreover, the hospital currently has no medical equipment such as MRI and X-rays. The treatment they sent there will be the same as it is now, which is conservative treatment."
Qi Mingyu nodded: "Okay, then we'll try it again at home."
Zhou Shuwan took out a small bottle and a syringe from the space.
"This is a hormone drug that works for most flus. I'm going to give Grandma a 2mg injection to get her fever under control first."
"it is good!"
Zhou Shuwan pushed the hormone into the infusion bottle above.
She also helped Grandma Pang to cool down physically. She used fine needles to prick several of Grandma Pang's acupuncture points, concentrating fully.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Grandma Pang's high fever subsided and she fell into a peaceful sleep.
Zhou Shuwan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said happily: "The medicine is working. Now we can only wait for grandma's immunity to defeat these viruses!"
Qi Mingyu took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face, then held her in his arms and whispered, "Thank you, Wanwan!"
Zhou Shuwan patted his shoulder and said optimistically, "Grandma will definitely wake up tomorrow, don't worry too much. Grandma is very strong, not as fragile as you think! Go get some sleep. I just rested, so I'll take care of her first."
Qi Mingyu did not leave the room, but sat on a chair beside him and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhou Shuwan knew his concerns, so she stopped trying to persuade him and just sat down beside him.
As soon as she sat down, Qi Mingyu reached out his big hand and gently held hers.
Zhou Shuwan was startled and turned her head to look. She saw that the other person had his eyes closed and was not moving, but was holding her big hand tightly.
She smiled slightly and shook his hand back.
Finally, the next morning, Grandma Pang's fever did not rise again.
She also woke up, sat up weakly, and smiled at Qi Mingyu: "Xiao Yu, what's wrong with grandma?"
Qi Mingyu looked her up and down hurriedly: "Grandma, do you... feel unwell?"
He was very happy and looked at Zhou Shuwan: "Wanwan, the medicine is working."
Zhou Shuwan nodded with a smile, walked over, and took Grandma Pang's temperature again, which was 37.1 degrees.
