"Auntie, this child's fever must be reduced immediately, otherwise it will be dangerous." Her voice was calm and firm, and her hands had already started taking out antipyretics and alcohol cotton from the medicine box.
"Let's cool him down first, then take him to the hospital."
The old woman couldn't stop her tears from falling, and she tightly grasped Shen Liwu's sleeves with both hands, "Little girl, please save him, I only have this one son..."
While wiping the child with alcohol, Shen Liwu comforted him, “Auntie, don’t panic, I’m taking care of it, the child will be fine.”
She gently wiped the child's armpits, neck and thighs with alcohol cotton to help dissipate heat. Then she took out a fever-reducing pill from the medicine box, crushed it, mixed it with water, and carefully fed it into the child's mouth.
At this time, a few Chinese people came in with constant coughing and muttered, "This batch of colds is too serious. My wife is the only one in my family who doesn't have a cold."
"It's good that they didn't die. Four people died from the cold in our area."
Shen Liwu raised his head, glanced at the middle-aged men, and frowned slightly. Their faces were sallow and they were coughing constantly, and it was obvious that their symptoms were serious.
Her heart moved and a thought flashed through her mind - could this be some kind of infectious disease?
At this time in her previous life, she went to the front line of the battlefield and had no idea what was happening in Beijing.
I haven't heard of any serious flu!
"Brothers," she stood up, her tone calm but with a hint of alertness, "you just said that four people died of the cold in this area?"
One of the middle-aged men stopped walking, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed a few times, looking exhausted. "Yeah, this cold is too severe, I can't stand it at all. The couple next door to my house didn't make it..."
Shen Liwu’s heart sank suddenly. She quickly opened the medicine box, took out a mask and put it on, then handed the other one to the old woman, "Auntie, please wear this first to prevent infection."
The old woman took the mask with trembling hands and put it on her face awkwardly. Seeing this, Shen Liwu gently helped her pull up the mask, and his fingers lingered on the old woman's rough cheek for a moment, feeling the chill under her skin.
She looked up at the few middle-aged people who were still coughing, and asked with a hint of urgency, "Do your family members have similar symptoms?"
Several people looked at each other, and one of the middle-aged women nodded reluctantly, "Everyone in my family is sick, coughing, fever, and feeling weak. I have a lot of pimples on my body. The county pharmacies and hospitals are almost overcrowded, and all the medicines are sold out. That's why I ran to the city to buy it."
Shen Liwu's eyes became more and more focused. This situation has not happened in the city yet. It must have spread from small places.
Shen Liwu's eyes swept through the coughing crowd. She knew very well that if this was a type of infectious disease, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Auntie, let me tell you about some Chinese medicinal herbs. Go buy some and boil them for your child to drink!"
From the clothes they wore, it was clear that they were not wealthy. Chinese medicine was much cheaper than Western medicine. Although she couldn't help much, she was good at saving money.
"Thank you. I'll go get it right away."
Shen Liwu got in the car, and the soldier drove to another place, not where she lived last night.
“Comrade, this is not the direction to go home!” Shen Liwu was a little panicked, could it be that he wanted to take her to sell it?
The commander is not a good person?
