"Oh, I'm so sorry, sister. I really have something urgent to do. I hope I didn't hurt you." said Granny Hu.
When Granny Chen saw Granny Hu, who looked anxious, the unhappiness that had risen in her heart instantly dissipated, and she asked:
"What's wrong with you? You're so anxious, your forehead is covered with sweat."
"My eldest grandson suddenly started vomiting and having diarrhea, and he also had a fever. I was so worried that I asked Dr. Shui from the clinic to see him, but he couldn't figure out the specific cause. So I thought about asking Zhenqi to take a look."
Granny Hu spoke loudly. The two of them happened to be standing at the door of Gu Zhenqi's room. The door had not been closed yet, and the conversation came clearly into her mind.
At the same time, she has basically made a judgment about the possible illness of Grandma Hu's grandson. Indeed, it is not easy to detect it in this era.
"Zhenqi, please come with me to see my eldest grandson. He is so pitiful! He is only a few days old, and his little face is so pale from torture. It breaks my heart just looking at him." Grandma Hu said in a choked voice.
He took out his handkerchief that had turned white from washing and wiped away his tears.
"Okay, Granny Hu, wait a moment, I'll get something."
After a while, Gu Zhenqi came out of the room carrying a medicine box, followed by Ruiduo, Feian, and Junjun: "Let's go."
Granny Chen still had things to do, so she comforted Granny Hu with a few words and then left them.
As I stepped into Granny Hu's house, I heard a baby crying. I didn't know how long the baby had been crying, but his voice sounded hoarse. Gu Zhenqi frowned with some emotion.
"Ruiduo, Fei'an, Junjun, the three of you just stay and play in the yard. Don't run outside." Gu Zhenqi instructed.
"Okay, Mom, I won't run around!" Ruiduo smiled sweetly, and it was easy to drown in the dimples on her cheeks.
"Auntie, I will be good and take good care of Ruiduo and Fei'an." Junjun stretched out three little fingers and promised.
"Mom, I will be good." Fei An said.
"Okay, you guys are the best!"
After settling the three children, Gu Zhenqi quickly followed Grandma Hu into the house.
Liu Xian held her son in her arms, at a loss as to what to do. She could only worry, tears falling from her eyes. When she saw Gu Zhenqi coming in, her eyes lit up as if she had finally caught a glimmer of hope.
"Zhenqi, come quickly and help me see what happened to my son. He is crying like a cat now. I hope he is okay."
Gu Zhenqi placed his fingers on the baby's thin arm. Liu Xian and Granny Hu looked anxious, staring at Gu Zhenqi's hand as he took the baby's pulse.
My heart was in my throat, and my hands were clenched so tightly with worry and anxiety that my nails almost dug into my flesh.
It only takes less than a minute!
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law felt as if they had spent a long century!
Gu Zhenqi could understand their urgent worries at the moment, so after taking their pulses and confirming their symptoms, she immediately told them: "Is he intolerant to breast milk?"
“What is breast milk intolerance?”
Three questioning voices were heard at the same time, two of which were from Granny Hu and Liu Xian, and the other was from a man.
The three women in the room all looked towards the source of the sound and the door, and saw Doctor Shui returning.
Granny Hu asked directly, "Doctor Shui, why are you back again? Did you forget something?"
"Nothing was left behind."
Doctor Shui just heard that Gu Zhenqi came to Granny Chen's house, and he was curious whether she could diagnose the disease.
After the last time, when she was able to so accurately diagnose Zhao Ying's ectopic pregnancy and provide timely rescue, thus saving that person's life, he wanted to find an opportunity to learn some medical knowledge that he did not understand from Gu Zhenqi.
There is no age limit for learning!
He didn't want to be confined to a small clinic all his life. He wanted to learn more medical knowledge and work in a large hospital as a chief physician.
"Comrade Gu Zhenqi, what is the breast milk intolerance you just mentioned?"
Doctor Shui walked forward, with a faint gentle smile on his face, and asked again.
At this time, Gu Zhenqi was organizing language and professional terms in his mind. Doctor Shui could understand them, but Liu Xian and Granny Hu might not.
So, she tried to make what she said as simple and easy to understand as possible.
“Breast milk intolerance, also known as lactose intolerance, usually refers to a series of clinical symptoms, mainly abdominal distension, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, caused by the lack of lactase in the small intestinal mucosa of newborns, which leads to the difficulty in digesting and absorbing lactose in milk.”
After Gu Zhenqi finished speaking, he observed the expressions on the three people's faces. Obviously, Dr. Shui understood!
As for the other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they were confused, so Gu Zhenqi had to translate her words into a language they could understand:
"To put it simply, newborns have fragile stomachs and cannot digest the lactose in breast milk, which causes symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal pain."
"Ah, how could this happen? This baby has been fed with mother's milk since birth, how can it not digest it? This is terrible, what should I do? I can't let it starve."
Granny Hu was so anxious that she was spinning around on the ground, babble-ing non-stop.
When she finished speaking, Liu Xian's eyes turned red with anxiety, and her tears fell even more violently:
"Wow, wow, wow..Zhenqi, what should I do? Why did this happen? Is there something wrong with my body?"
