Chapter 155 Lupus or pneumonia?
As soon as I entered the room, I heard several coughs, and the little girl lying on the bed looked a little fragile.
Lin Ran saw her cough and was a little concerned that it was an infectious disease.
But then I thought about it, and it was strange that the old man had not been infected after living with her for so long, so it probably wasn't a viral cough.
Then he boldly stepped forward to check and asked the girl to sit up.
The girl has some spots on her body and her skin is fairer than that of ordinary people.
He held her hand and felt her whole body swell, and asked: "Little girl, do you feel anything strange in your body?"
The girl seemed a little shy and looked at the strange old man.
The strange old man put on a loving voice: "Ying'er, just tell this brother how you feel."
Lin Ran found it hard to imagine that an old man with a weird temper would say such gentle words.
The girl nodded and said: "Actually, apart from coughing, there is nothing unusual about me. I often have rashes on my body, and then I often have a fever."
Lin Ran recalled in his mind that the disease she mentioned was somewhat like lupus erythematosus, an innate immune disease.
But lupus erythematosus is an incurable disease, and the condition should be more serious.
Is it...
"Your illness is not congenital, right?" Lin Ran asked.
"No, I got it about three years ago." The little girl said fearfully.
Lin Ran knew it well. No wonder when he was sent to the hospital, the doctor said it was an incurable disease, and he was probably misdiagnosed as lupus erythematosus.
Through Lin Ran's judgment, the little girl in front of her just had bacterial pneumonia. As for the rash on her body, it should be the product of allergies.
In the early 80s, China's medical technology was not yet developed.
Therefore, he did not have a deep understanding of many diseases. Lu Xun's previous articles also mentioned that his father suffered from tuberculosis, but he was never cured. In the end, his family fell into ruin because of the treatment.
Due to the sudden onset of pneumonia, quack doctors called it evil.
Seeing that Lin Ran was silent, Lu Yingjie asked eagerly: "Fellow Daoist Lin, may I ask what the disease is for my granddaughter?"
"She has bacterial pneumonia. She probably has a serious lung infection and needs antibiotics," Lin Ran said.
Antibiotics work wonders against bacteria.
But the pneumonia has been around for a long time, and there are probably a lot of shadows and nodules in the lungs. If we don’t seize the time for treatment, I’m afraid it will become a more serious disease.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran quickly said: "You can't let her hide from the light anymore."
Bacteria prefer dark and humid environments. Changing to a dry environment is more conducive to the recovery of the body.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, how do you say this?" Lu Yingjie was slightly surprised.
Apparently, he had also seen a doctor before and was confused by a series of strange symptoms in his granddaughter.
In the past three years, my granddaughter's illness has come and gone.
Sometimes he recovered, sometimes he got worse, which made him nervous.
In desperation, he chose to use Tufuzi's method to treat his granddaughter's disease.
But I didn’t expect that procrastination would have no effect.
Lin Ran knew what he was worried about. Judging from the environment of his home, her parents should be gone, otherwise why would their daughter be kept in a dark and damp room.
Lu Yingjie's concern for her was genuine, but it was a foolish concern.
But it’s not his fault, now is not the future.
In later generations, there were complete medical equipment and doctors were very professional.
As long as a film is taken, the cause can be found in no time.
Other lung diseases are difficult to treat, but bacterial pneumonia couldn't be easier to treat.
"Just a few injections of antibiotics will be enough." Lin Ran told Lu Yingjie the treatment methods he knew.
Lu Yingjie asked with a confused look on his face: "Antibiotics? What are antibiotics?"
The country now has the technology to produce antibiotics, but the common knowledge of folk medicine is obviously not yet popular.
The people don't understand it at all.
"Fellow Daoist Lin." Lu Yingjie asked worriedly, "My granddaughter, must she leave this room?"
"Yes, the bacteria in your granddaughter's body can grow, and basking in the sun is also a sterilization method." Lin Ran tried to persuade her, but Lu Yingjie objected.
"No!" Lu Yingjie lost his temper and stopped Lin Ran directly, saying, "I have studied Taoism for many years. My granddaughter's disease is caused by evil spirits entering her body. As long as some time passes, the root cause of her disease will definitely be removed."
"Your formation may be good at exorcising ghosts, but it cannot eliminate bacteria." Lin Ran sighed.
The little girl lying on the bed shrank into the quilt in fear when she saw the two arguing. Lu Yingjie quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Ying'er, it's okay. Grandpa will definitely cure your illness."
"Yes." The little girl nodded silently, with some loss and fear in the corners of her eyes, making her look very pitiful.
What Lin Ran told her just now seemed to have been heard by some uncle, a doctor, but her grandfather didn't adopt it at all.
Lin Ran was also helpless.
Compared with others, the Tufuzi in front of him has a particularly withdrawn personality.
Once you decide something, you won’t let it go!
He decided to deal with it with a normal heart.
It’s actually okay not to take antibiotics, as long as you find antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Lin Ran made up his mind and said to Lu Yingjie: "Brother Lu, it's okay if you don't want to take her for injections. I have a few things to tell you."
"Say." Lu Yingjie looked back at him.
"First, you cannot let your granddaughter stay in this airtight house all the time. If you are really worried, you can open a backyard and let her recuperate in the backyard without seeing anyone else."
"Second, give your granddaughter vitamin supplements. Carrots, honey, fungus, millet porridge, etc. are more suitable for her to recover from her illness."
"Third, you can light candles in the room to remove moisture. Don't let your granddaughter continue to lie in a humid environment. In the long run, her life will be in danger."
Lin then's words became more serious.
Lu Yingjie nodded seriously: "I will do as you say."
"That's good." Lin Ran said.
"Since you have already seen a doctor, if nothing happens, can you please leave?" Lu Yingjie seemed much more polite.
Naturally, the granddaughter has not been cured, and the opportunity promised to him does not need to be given for the time being.
After all, this is a secret that I will keep for my whole life!
Lin Ran knew that arguing was useless, so he just cupped his fists and said, "Brother Lu, don't worry, I already know what the disease is. I will bring medicine next time we meet."
"Yes." Lu Yingjie nodded, "Then let's wait for the good news from Fellow Daoist Lin."
He sent Lin Ran to the door of his house and slammed the door shut.
It's like being isolated from the world.
I originally thought that he lived in this rammed earth house just because he didn't care about life.
Seeing his granddaughter like this, she has no father or mother.
Xiping Village was originally a poor place, and his family looked even more dilapidated.
It is estimated that he spent most of the money on medical treatment for his granddaughter, and it was just a waste of money.
Lin Ran thought to himself that quack doctors harm people, but it is also an opportunity for him.
As long as cytosine-based antibacterial drugs are used, bacterial pneumonia can be cured.
In later generations, it could be bought at any drug store, but now the production capacity of drugs is insufficient and prescription drugs are extremely strict. It is not easy for him to buy caprocytosine!
