Chapter 144: Parasites in Raw Water
Jian Yunsang and He Nanzhou looked at each other, and Jian Yunsang reached out and stroked her brow, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about so intently?"
"Mom, I caught a cold and had a fever. How could it not be a serious illness?" The little girl was worried. "The children in the kindergarten are so young. What will happen to them in the future?"
Jian Yunsang was stunned, thinking that in ancient times, people who caught a cold were indeed in great danger, especially in rural areas where people lived in poverty. If they were not careful, they might even lose their life.
Looking at Chao Chao like this, could it be...
"In Shangliu Village, have you ever seen anyone get hurt by a cold?"
Chao Chao shook his head, "I haven't seen it, but, but I know that Hu Baodun's cousin died of a cold."
In fact, she had also caught a cold. It was difficult not to get sick in the poor living conditions of the Hu family. It was only because Chao Chao had a good foundation that she would not have survived otherwise.
It was very uncomfortable to catch a cold. When Sister Lin Lan saw that she was dying, she cried several times. When Grandma Zhou saw that the Hu family didn't care much about her, she boiled ginger water for her to drink while scolding them.
Once, even Grandma Zhou said that Chao Chao might not survive. But she survived, and Zheng said that she was lucky not to be burned to death like Hu Baodun's cousin.
So in Chao Chao's mind, catching a cold is a very serious illness.
Even though she had been to the hospital several times and had seen people with injured legs and feet like Luo Yue, people who had been stabbed like Sun Huanyu, and people who had to give birth by caesarean section, she had never experienced these herself, and they were all safe and sound, so deep down in her heart, it was not as serious as catching a cold or having a fever.
In fact, when Xiaoxiao was rescued from the human traffickers’ base by the police, she was also running a high fever.
But when Chao Chao went to see her, Xiao Xiao's fever had gone down. So she only saw Xiao Xiao's wounds all over her body. Deep down in Chao Chao's heart, this wound was the same as hers. If she could recover, Xiao Xiao would be able to recover too.
When Chao Chao heard that three children had caught a cold, he was very worried that something might happen to them.
He Nanzhou and Jian Yunsang looked at each other and touched her head. "Chao Chao is right to worry, but the ancient times were different from ours. In ancient times, people were more likely to get into trouble if they caught a cold. There were many reasons for this, such as their lack of medicine, poor environment, poor living habits, and weak immunity. In addition, the cold could easily cause other infections, which would aggravate the condition and cause problems if they caught a cold."
Everyone under the canopy looked up and listened very hard and seriously.
Every time Tianmu talked about something related to illness, they became very focused.
Poor people cannot afford to get sick, so they are eager to learn something useful from Tianmu that will be useful in the future.
For those who are better off, even if they have doctors to treat them, they may not be fine.
In later generations, even stabbing injuries and caesarean sections can be treated, so there must be ways to treat other illnesses.
Dean Zhan of the Imperial Hospital held his breath, appearing calm on the outside, but roaring in his heart - Yes, we lacked medicines in ancient times, so tell me, what kind of medicines are most effective.
Chao Chao tilted his head, thought for a moment and asked, "What should we do? Could ancient doctors have made the small medicine pellets we have now?"
Jian Yunsang laughed, "In ancient times, there were also doctors with good medical skills. They would prescribe different medicines according to different symptoms. For example, there are several types of colds. There are wind-heat colds and wind-cold colds. The medicines used are completely different. So if you are sick, you still have to see a doctor and prescribe the right medicine. You can't take it randomly. Some of the medicines we take now also existed in ancient times. For example, Xiao Chaihu Granules are made based on Dr. Zhang Zhongjing's Xiao Chaihu Decoction. It can be used to treat colds, influenza and other exogenous diseases, especially symptoms such as alternating colds and heat, fullness in the chest and ribs, bitter mouth and dry throat. We also always have this kind of medicine in our medicine box."
Bupleurum chinense? ?
The people under the sky recited in their hearts, writing it down so that they would have experience for next time.
Some people who happen to have this symptom will rush to the pharmacy to ask for Xiao Chaihu.
The doctors in the pharmacy were helpless. Didn’t they hear what Miss Jane said, that they wanted specific prescriptions based on specific symptoms?
Some doctors nodded frequently. They knew Zhang Zhongjing, the medical saint. His book Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases was a great medical masterpiece. Many doctors had to study this book, but unfortunately the original book was lost. Fortunately, later generations reorganized the lost diseases, and Xiao Chaihu Decoction was indeed very effective in treating wind-cold.
I didn’t expect that this prescription has been passed down to later generations and has been recognized by later generations. It must be a very effective prescription.
Everyone couldn't help but get excited, eager for Jian Yunsang to say more.
Chao Chao also listened very seriously, as if he was trying hard to remember all these things. Jian Yunsang couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, "These are professional things. Mom and Dad are not doctors, so their understanding of this is limited. What we ordinary people can do is to develop good living habits, improve our body's resistance, and try to get sick less often."
Chao Chao nodded and asked, "What are your living habits?"
"For example, you should wash your hands before and after meals, and you should not drink raw water to prevent diseases from entering your body through the mouth. You should also maintain a good mood and avoid depression..."
As soon as he started talking, Chao Chao exclaimed "Ah?"
"Mom, Mom, can't you drink raw water?"
Jian Yunsang, "You can't drink raw water. There are parasites in raw water that we can't see with our naked eyes. They will pass through the water we drink and survive in our stomachs, damaging our bodies and making us vomit, have diarrhea, get sick and have a fever. But just boil the water. The worms will die when the water boils. Wait until the water cools down before drinking it and it will be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chao Chao covered his mouth in horror.
Her expression was so pitiful that she was about to cry, "What should I do? I drank a lot of raw water."
It should be said that she hardly ever drank hot water, as the Hu family would never give her boiled water to drink. So, wouldn't there be a lot of worms in her stomach?
What should I do? I feel like vomiting every morning.
Jian Yunsang was stunned for a moment, and said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. As soon as you came back, your mother took you to the hospital. The doctor prescribed deworming medicine. There are no more worms in it. Don't worry."
Chao Chao then let out a breath, "That's good, that's good."
But she frowned again and said, "But many people in Shangliu Village drink raw water, especially in summer. Some people even drink water directly from the river."
No, it should be said that many people drink water directly from the river.
Doesn't that mean everyone is eating bugs?
