Su Tiantian thanked the nurse, took Liu Yuntang from Zheng Ziyang and said, "Ziyang, thank you. I've got a number. Why don't you go back first?"
Zheng Ziyang said, "I'll go back when Jingze arrives. Sister-in-law, let's go upstairs quickly."
Su Tiantian nodded and looked at Liu Yuntang with heartache. Her temperature was 38.7 degrees before she went out, and 38.9 degrees in the car. Her little face was a little red with fever, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were still half-closed. She looked very uncomfortable.
When they arrived at the door of Director Sun's clinic, a mother came out holding her baby. The mother looked tired and anxious, and was coaxing the baby softly: "Be good, baby, don't cry, you will be fine after seeing the doctor."
Su Tiantian took a look and felt the same way. All mothers understand this feeling. The voice of calling the number also sounded.
"Liu Yuntang, please go to Special Clinic Room 2 to wait for your consultation."
"Liu Yuntang, please go to Special Clinic Room 2 to wait for your consultation."
"Liu Yuntang, please go to Special Clinic Room 2 to wait for your consultation."
Su Tiantian hurriedly carried Liu Yuntang into the clinic. Director Sun, a doctor who looked to be about fifty years old, smiled and gestured for Su Tiantian to sit down, then carefully inquired about the baby's symptoms.
Su Tiantian recounted in detail the entire process of Liu Yuntang's fever and refusal to drink milk, with a hint of trembling in her voice.
Director Sun nodded as she listened, then picked up the stethoscope and gently placed it on the baby's chest. Liu Yuntang was stimulated by the coolness of the stethoscope, moved slightly, and let out a weak cry. Director Sun gently coaxed Liu Yuntang: "Be good, little boy, grandma listens to what your little heart is saying."
After auscultating the patient, Director Sun looked at the throat again and said, "Do you have any antipyretics? Take them first, then get a blood test to see the specific cause of the fever, primarily to see if it's a bacterial or viral infection. That way, we can prescribe the right medicine."
Su Tiantian said, "Azhi, please take the antipyretic medicine to the doctor. Doctor, is this antipyretic medicine suitable for me?"
Director Sun took one look and said, "Yes, this one is fine. I won't prescribe any fever-reducing medicine for now. Come on, the child is eight months old, right? He should take this dosage. Take it once first, and then go for a blood test."
Zheng Ziyang said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go pay the fee. Give me your social security card."
After paying the fee, the four people came to the blood test site.
There were quite a few people at the blood test area, and they had to wait in line for a while before it was their turn. When Liu Yuntang saw the nurse holding the needle, she seemed to sense pain and began to struggle, twisting her body and crying loudly.
Su Tiantian's eyes were red with heartache, and she coaxed softly: "Tangtang, be good, don't be afraid, it will be fine in a moment. Our Tangtang is very brave."
Liu Yuntang was not listening at all. When the nurse was about to hold Liu Yuntang's little hand for disinfection, Liu Yuntang suddenly burst into tears, waving his two little hands in the air and kicking his legs hard, trying to break free from Su Tiantian's arms.
Azhi was also there to help comfort her, but Liu Yuntang was still crying hard.
The nurse took advantage of the moment when Liu Yuntang paused to cry and breathe and quickly wiped a sterilized cotton swab on Liu Yuntang's fingers, but when Liu Yuntang felt the coolness, she cried even louder.
The nurse said, "Please cooperate with the family members and hold the child's hand. It will be quick, just one press."
Su Tiantian suppressed her emotions, held Liu Yuntang's waving hand tightly, and cooperated with the nurse to complete the blood test.
Tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks and she made an indistinct "woohoo" sound from her mouth. Liu Yuntang cried very sadly and her crying echoed in the blood test room. Liu Yuntang was not the only child crying. There were also other children who had their blood drawn or were about to have their blood drawn.
The nurse said, "The blood test results will be out in 20 minutes." While waiting for the blood test results, Liu Yuntang kept crying.
Zheng Ziyang sighed and said, "The child is uncomfortable, and the adults are tired too."
Su Tiantian walked around holding Liu Yuntang, coaxing him, and there was no complaint in her tone. "It's inevitable for children to get sick. Ziyang, thank you for your help."
Zheng Ziyang said: "I was thinking about whether I should call Uncle Zhang, but now I know that there are special consultation numbers in the evening, which saves me the time of waiting in line."
Su Tiantian said, "I heard from the mothers' group that several hospitals in our city have special pediatric consultation numbers at night. It's a bit expensive, but it's worth it. If it's not too serious, I don't want to bother Uncle Zhang."
Zheng Ziyang nodded: "Yes, sister-in-law is right, Tangtang, let uncle hold you, okay, mom is tired."
Liu Yuntang clearly refused, calling out, "Mom, Mom."
When the child is sick, he depends on his mother. Normally, she sees Zheng Ziyang quite often and is willing to let Zheng Ziyang hold him.
Su Tiantian said, "Let me hold you, Tangtang. You should thank Uncle Ziyang. He was the one who helped carry you to the hospital."
Liu Yuntang sobbed and said, "Da da, da da." He held up the finger from which blood had been drawn, obviously feeling aggrieved.
Zheng Ziyang looked at the face that looked like Liu Jingze with this expression. The soft and tender face was as pitiful as it could be. He really wanted to laugh, but he held it back. Mr. Liu, who was usually a bit strong, would never have such an expression. He really wanted to take a picture and show it to his friends, but he didn't dare. He, Zheng Ziyang, didn't even think about the consequences of laughing at Liu Jingze.
At this time, Azhi took out a little rabbit wearing a pink skirt from her mommy bag. The little rabbit was delicate and cute. After seeing the little rabbit, Liu Yuntang was obviously interested and reached out to grab it. His little hand held the little rabbit, and the little rabbit seemed a little big in front of his little hand.
Su Tiantian was curious: "Azhi, this little rabbit is so cute, where did it come from?"
Ah Zhi said, "Mr. Liu bought it. Xiaoyi's is a teddy bear. He brought it back yesterday and asked me to wash it first. Today, after it was dry, I put it in my bag, thinking that I would use it to coax her when I go out."
After receiving the blood test results, they returned to Director Sun. The doctor reviewed the report and said, "The white blood cell count is quite high, indicating a bacterial infection causing the fever. The child's throat is very red and inflamed, so she needs an IV drip. I've prescribed medication for two days. Keep the baby hydrated and monitor her temperature. It would be best if she comes back tomorrow for another IV drip."
When Su Tiantian heard this, her heart tightened again: "An IV drip? How can such a young child bear it?"
Director Sun said, "The child has taken antipyretics, so her fever will probably go away soon. However, her white blood cell count is so high that she will have recurring fevers. She doesn't want to breastfeed because her throat is really sore, and she can't do without breastfeeding. I don't think she will cooperate with the medication either. An IV drip will be more effective."
It's really not possible to not drink milk. Although Liu Yuntang didn't cry, she was obviously very listless. Su Tiantian said, "Then let's give her an IV drip. Doctor, I want to ask, I have a son who is a twin of hers. Can they play together? Will it be contagious?"
Director Sun said: "Theoretically, they are not contagious. If conditions permit, separate them for two or three days."
