Chapter 281 75% Alcohol
"Who?" Wei Ping went to open the door.
When the door opened, a man was standing outside.
He looked to be in his thirties, and his eyes were lifeless.
He smelled of sweat and looked very listless.
As soon as he saw Wei Ping, he stepped forward and said:
"Sorry, neighbor, do you have any 75% alcohol at home?" the man asked urgently.
At this time, Wei Ping became alert. What did he want alcohol for?
So he asked, "Excuse me, what do you want 75% alcohol for?"
The man immediately said, "My child has a fever, and we're out of 75% alcohol. Since we just moved here, I walked around the neighborhood and couldn't find a pharmacy. I saw the light was on in your room, so I wanted to ask if you had any 75% alcohol?"
Wei Ping immediately realized something was wrong.
"How old is your child? Why do you use 75% alcohol to reduce fever?"
"Four years old. Because everyone in my family uses 75% alcohol to reduce fever, so..."
"So, neighbor, do you have 75% alcohol? If not, I'll ask someone else!"
Wei Ping interrupted him directly.
"You can't use 75% alcohol to reduce fever in these young children. It's too dangerous!"
"Ah? Why?" The man was very confused.
Does this neighbor not want to lend it? If he didn’t want to lend it, he wouldn’t say such a thing.
"Because children have tender skin, alcohol can easily penetrate the skin, causing acute alcohol poisoning. This can also lead to severe metabolic acidosis and, even more seriously, damage to brain function. This increases the likelihood of future dementia! In severe cases, respiratory failure or even death can occur!"
The man was shocked when he heard this. He had never expected this to happen.
"Neighbor, don't lie to me. We all did this when we were kids."
Wei Ping was speechless.
"I'm a doctor, why would I lie to you?"
"Children's skin is thinner and more delicate than adults. When a child is in a feverish state, their metabolism is more active, and their capillaries and skin pores are dilated. When a large area of high-concentration alcohol is wet-applied to the skin, the alcohol can be quickly absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin."
"Ah?" The man didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.
At this moment, the door opposite opened.
A young woman came out from inside, holding a four-year-old girl in her arms. The young woman didn't seem to be in much better condition either, and it seemed that she didn't sleep well.
It must have been the child who did it.
"How is your husband? Is he okay? If not, go out and buy some!" said the young woman.
"No, I'll go out and buy it now." The man turned and was about to leave.
Wei Ping asked him not to leave yet.
"Wait, let me see the baby."
Wei Ping followed him.
At this time, the young woman recognized Wei Ping.
"You are... Doctor Three Punches! Husband, he is Doctor Three Punches! Our neighbor is Doctor Three Punches!"
"What?" The man walked over and after confirming one or two things, he found that it was really Doctor Three Quan.
"That's great, Doctor Three Punches is here, that's great."
Wei Ping was a little confused.
The child is in this condition, why don’t they go to the hospital?
Then he walked closer and saw that the child's face was red.
He used X-ray to see that the child had many viruses in his body and the fever was caused by viral infection!
"How long has the fever lasted?"
"Two days." said the young woman.
"What's your temperature these past two days?"
"38.5 degrees, sometimes it will go up a bit."
38.5 degrees, not low.
Wei Ping saw that the child was not in a good mental state.
If his mental state was good, physical cooling could be used, but that's not possible now.
No amount of alcohol could bring her down.
And it will harm the children.
"Your child probably has a viral infection and needs to go to the hospital immediately for antiviral treatment."
The two men didn't speak.
It seems like he doesn't want to go.
"The hospital is nearby, less than a kilometer away."
Wei Ping said again.
But at this time, the two of them looked embarrassed.
Wei Ping probably knew why they didn't go to the hospital and chose to reduce their fever at home.
Sure enough, the man said, "Doctor Sanquan, it's not that we don't want to go, but we have no money. Our boss helped us apply for this house. We've only been in the city for a few days, and I've only been working for a few days, so my salary hasn't been paid yet. My wife came with us, but she's at home taking care of the children and can't work either. I don't dare ask my boss for an advance. Besides, the child's household registration is not here, so medical treatment will be very expensive..."
The man expressed his difficulties.
But even so, we have to find a way and borrow money to treat the child.
"Your idea will harm the child. If something goes wrong, the child will hate you forever. How about this, I'll lend you a thousand yuan!"
After Wei Ping finished speaking, he took out a thousand yuan from his wallet and handed it to the man.
But the other party refused to accept it.
"No, I can't take your money!" said the man.
"The child's condition is extremely critical. If he doesn't get treatment, he'll suffer irreversible damage. Take this money! If it's not enough, tell me!"
One thousand yuan is enough for medical treatment. The extra money can also be used to supplement the nutrition of the child.
And seeing how embarrassed they are, the remaining money can help them get through the difficult times.
"Thank you, Doctor Sanquan. I will definitely pay you back when I have money!"
The man said that he finally accepted the money, and then the APP had a prompt:
