After Xiao Hua saw Zhou Musheng off and came back, He Yan didn't give her a good look. The nurse came over to give Kang An an IV drip.
Xiaohua frowned as she looked at the IV prescription: "Is it a bacterial infection? Otherwise, why are they giving me antibiotics?"
The nurse explained that it was prescribed by the doctor, and that if anyone had any questions, they could ask the doctor; they were only responsible for administering the IV.
I don't like IV drips. If I can take medicine orally, I won't get an injection. If I can get an injection, I won't get an IV drip.
The child was vomiting and had diarrhea. Xiaohua thought it was most likely a viral infection, and antibiotics would not help with viral infections.
Xiao Hua wanted to ask the doctor, but He Yan stopped her: "How could the doctor at the Municipal Children's Hospital be wrong? Hurry up and have the nurse start the IV; the child is in so much pain."
Xiaohua rolled her eyes at him: "I have doubts about the doctor's diagnosis. What's wrong? It's inevitable for children to get sick during their growth. This season is a high-incidence period for viruses. But the doctor prescribed penicillin. What kind of illness is that?"
Based on her child's symptoms, Xiaohua felt that it was similar to the vomiting and diarrhea that Kang'an had when he was one and a half years old, and since it was also winter, it was most likely norovirus.
This virus appeared a long time ago, but it was only named norovirus after 2000. That's what Xiaohua told the doctor. I guess the doctor thought she was crazy!
After the child vomited, the kindergarten teacher immediately gave him water, which caused the child's stomach to move too quickly, leading to the child vomiting again.
The teacher made a mistake. Do not feed the child anything, including water, for two hours after the child vomits. After two hours, you can give the child a little warm salt water.
If the child does not vomit, give them a little warm salt water to drink after half an hour.
It's the 1990s now, and most people still don't know this kind of common sense.
When He Yan saw that Xiao Hua insisted on going to the doctor, he felt that she was being unreasonable. He was already unhappy that she was with Zhou Musheng and had come to the hospital to see the child. Now she was stopping the nurse from giving the child an IV. He couldn't help but yell at her, "You're not a doctor, what do you know?"
“I’ve been raising this child by myself for three years. What do you think I know? You’ve only been raising him for a few days.”
Xiaohua got angry too.
However, she was still a relatively rational person. She took her child and went to see a doctor, who was deeply questioned by her words and began to doubt his diagnosis.
Finally, at Xiaohua's request, the doctor only prescribed oral rehydration solution.
To prevent the child from becoming dehydrated, she hesitated to take the child out of the hospital immediately. She prepared 30ml of oral rehydration solution and fed it to the child, who drank it without vomiting.
He Yan asked anxiously from the side, "What's the use of drinking so little? She's vomited so many times, she's very likely to become dehydrated."
"The reason she vomited so many times is because you were too stupid. You gave her a lot of water after she vomited, which only made her vomit more."
"What kind of logic is that? She vomited and I gave her water to prevent her from becoming dehydrated."
Xiaohua ignored him and looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot: "Idiot, and you don't even know how stupid you are."
After feeding her the saline solution, Xiaohua checked the time. Half an hour later, she prepared another 50ml of saline solution and fed it to the child. The child drank it and did not vomit.
She was fed a little more every half hour, and within a few hours she had been given 350ml of rehydration salts, which was enough to bring her above the dehydration threshold.
The child urinated, and Xiaohua was certain that the child would not become dehydrated.
She took her child and left the hospital. She concluded that it was a viral infection, and that viral infections take time to heal, so no amount of antibiotics would help, and the child didn't need to get that injection for nothing.
Seeing that the child was in better spirits, He Yan realized that Xiao Hua's method of feeding water was the correct one.
He felt very guilty. On the way to the hospital after picking up his child from kindergarten, the child had stopped vomiting much, but he was afraid that the child would become dehydrated, so he gave the child a large glass of water. After the child drank it, he vomited even more violently.
"How come you know everything? You know more than doctors."
Xiaohua, holding her child, sat in the back seat and said impatiently, "This is basic common sense. Please remember these things from now on. After a child vomits, you can't immediately give them water or food. This will only make them vomit more and cause them to lose more water. Giving them water immediately will stimulate their stomach and intestines, accelerating peristalsis, which will make them vomit even more. At this time, you need to observe..."
Two hours later, the child stabilized and stopped vomiting. We gave him small amounts of saline solution every half hour. Antibiotics were ineffective for the viral infection; this season is a peak time for viruses.
"Is this common sense? I've never heard of it, and the doctors and nurses at the hospital didn't mention it either."
He Yanzhen questioned Xiao Hua's statement that this was common sense.
It's not that doctors and nurses don't understand; medicine is gradually progressing.
"Yes, this is common sense that parents should have."
I dared not say anything more, He Yan, after all, my approach was indeed wrong.
But I sincerely admire Xiaohua; she really knows so much.
She's very capable, which is why she can earn money to support her family and raise her children all by herself.
It's normal for other men to be attracted to such an outstanding woman; after all, who doesn't like someone who is excellent?
However, he hoped that while others could like her, she couldn't like anyone else.
"You were on a date with Mr. Zhou today?"
He Yan was extremely jealous.
"Yeah, I'm on a date, but that's none of your business."
"How can it be none of my business? Who you're with should be related to the child, and if it's related to the child, then it's related to me."
He Yanqiang insisted on his own unreasonable argument.
Xiaohua smiled sarcastically: "You're quite good at substitution."
He Yan's mood immediately plummeted.
He didn't speak for a long time, just drove silently.
When they finally got home, he couldn't help but ask, "You're with that Mr. Zhou now?"
"Not yet. I thought about it before, but I don't have that idea anymore."
Hearing this, He Yan couldn't hide his joy: "Why don't you have that thought anymore?"
Xiaohua sighed helplessly: "I'm too busy, too busy to have time for romance."
Xiaohua had thought a lot about it. She used to think that Zhou Musheng's divorce from his ex-wife was really just a problem with her—was she domineering, only focused on her career, and neglecting her family and husband?
Was Zhou Musheng really as wonderful as she imagined?
Now that I think about it, that's probably not true!
She now feels that Zhou Musheng is the type of person who, once he's with you, will demand more and more from you.
He is likely to be very possessive. As a friend, he is a person who knows when to advance and retreat, has a strong sense of boundaries, and is also easygoing and broad-minded, making you fall for his wonderful qualities.
But being lovers is probably not like that at all.
He will demand emotional value from you, and you have to provide it, otherwise he will get angry and will exploit your weaknesses to force you to comply. Actually, it's nothing. She thinks Zhou Musheng is a rather sensitive and insecure person in relationships.
You'd probably be exhausted if you were with a man like that!
