Chapter 163 Toothache
After visiting two middle schools, the two hard-working girls finally decided to enter the junior high school department of Baoan Middle School.
Naturally, this decision was highly approved by both families.
After the matter of further studies was settled, Wang Shan began to focus on painting.
Teacher Guo was also very optimistic about this talented and patient little apprentice. After knowing that she had successfully entered higher education, he gradually increased the strength and intensity of his teaching.
So although Wang Shan had a long summer vacation without homework, she was extremely busy.
After the summer vacation officially began, Lin Tingru returned to her hometown as she did last year, and brought her grandchildren to spend the summer vacation with her.
The Lin family’s after-school care center is officially open for business. With six children, big and small, the Lin Qiu family’s home is bustling with activity every day.
The old couple divided the work between them, one supervised the studies and the other was responsible for three meals a day.
Although I feel a little tired sometimes, the satisfaction I get from watching my six grandchildren happily studying, eating and playing is indescribable.
But on this day, Zhou Qing had no intention of taking his grandchildren out for breakfast.
After lying down in bed last night, she found that her teeth had a dull pain.
At first, Zhou Qing didn’t take it seriously, thinking that it might be due to a little inflammation of the gums, and that it would be fine after taking some antipyretic medicine.
But later, I gradually realized that something was wrong.
The pain in her tooth was getting more and more severe. She couldn't tell which one it was. It felt like needles pricking her and was unbearable. It was as if thousands of tiny bugs were gnawing at her nerves.
Zhou Qing ran to the bathroom, made a cup of salt water, and carefully brushed his teeth again.
Still no use!
The signals from the beating blood constantly impact the closed and narrow gum grooves, agitating and expanding, wanting to burst out. With a slight touch, the nerves connecting to the throbbing area seemed to be about to break. Waves of swelling and pain followed one after another, and physiological tears flowed.
Zhou Qing wore a mask of pain on his face.
She kept covering her face and hissing, moaning softly.
"Old woman, what's wrong with you?" Lin Ting stood up immediately when he heard the noise.
He turned on the light and looked at Zhou Qing carefully, fearing that there was something wrong with his health.
"It's okay, I just have a toothache." Zhou Qing spoke vaguely.
After saying this, she frowned and covered her cheeks again.
Lin Ting saw that she didn't look fine, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Zhou Qing waved his hands, "Maybe he was too angry. Once he calms down, he should be fine."
"Have you taken the Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets?"
“Hiss—ha—ah”
Zhou Qing couldn't help but groan, "I guess the effect of the medicine hasn't come into play yet after taking it."
Lin Ting was still worried, "I'll go call Qiuqiu and the others to take you to the hospital. It's not a good idea to keep suffering like this!"
"Don't go! Hiss——" Zhou Qing grabbed him.
"It's so late, don't call them. They've been working outside all day, let them have a good rest now! I'll bear it for a while, the pain won't go away when I fall asleep."
After speaking such a long paragraph, Zhou Qing cried in pain.
Lin Ting was worried and got out of bed. "I'll find you some painkillers!"
Fortunately, I have some common medicines at home!
Lin Ting found some ibuprofen, took out a pill, brought a glass of water, and brought it to Zhou Qing's mouth.
Zhou Qing took the medicine from his hand.
After half an hour, perhaps because the ibuprofen had taken effect, Zhou Qing finally felt less painful.
"Old man, I'm feeling better now. Turn off the lights and go to bed!"
Lin Ting saw that her complexion looked better, so he turned off the lights and lay down.
At 2:00 in the morning, Zhou Qing was awakened by the pain.
It wasn't a specific tooth, but a large area connected to the ear nerve that was throbbing, as if a drill was drilling into half of her brain.
Zhou Qing glanced at his sleeping partner, turned over gently, and controlled himself not to make a sound.
Toothache is not a disease, but it is really painful when it happens!
Zhou Qing clenched his fists and bit a corner of the pillowcase. Veins bulged on his forehead and sweat oozed from his hair.
Finally, I made it to daybreak. The pain seemed to be less severe, but half of my body was numb.
She moved stiffly out of bed, propped up her face, and leaned on the sofa.
Not long after, Lin Ting also got up.
Seeing that his wife's face was sallow, the area under her eyes was dark blue, and half of her face was swollen like a bun, he ran to the next room without stopping to wake up Lin Qiu.
Hearing that Zhou Qing had a severe toothache, Lin Qiu's face suddenly turned pale.
My mother in her previous life had a tooth pulled out in the county hospital in her hometown because of toothache, which caused nerve damage at the broken tooth root, and she suffered from neuralgia for more than 20 years.
"Don't be in a daze!" Wang Xiuren put on a piece of clothing, "Let's take mom to the hospital!"
"Okay, okay." Lin Qiu came back to his senses and staggered to the next room.
Lin Ting and Lin Huan said a few words and followed.
Along the way, Lin Qiu held Zhou Qing's hand tightly, his pale face tense.
If you look closely, you will find that she is shaking slightly.
Zhou Qing felt that his daughter was worrying too much and wanted to tell her that everything was fine, but his toothache was so severe that he was powerless.
Arrived at the hospital, registered, and found a dentist.
The dentist took a look and said, "It's acute pulpitis. We need to do an oral examination and X-ray first. Family members, please go to the lobby to pay the fee first."
Wang Xiuren hurried to the hall.
"Doctor, does my mother need to have her teeth extracted in this situation?" Lin Qiu looked nervous, staring at the doctor.
The doctor had probably seen this happen many times, so he replied calmly, "It depends on the results of the examination. Usually, only root canal treatment is needed, but if the tooth is severely infected, cracked, or the root canal anatomy is abnormal, then extraction is required."
After listening to this, Lin Qiu was still uneasy, and the image of his mother suffering from illness in his previous life kept appearing in his mind.
After Wang Xiuren came up with the payment list, the doctor asked the nurse to take Zhou Qing for a check-up.
Waiting is always long, especially in a place like a hospital, where every second feels like a year.
Fortunately, the final result was good. Zhou Qing did not need to have his teeth extracted and only needed a root canal treatment.
After hearing this, Lin Qiu's tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
She slumped down on a plastic chair in the hospital corridor and let out a long breath.
Wang Xiuren felt a little strange, but just thought that she was too worried about her mother-in-law's health.
Zhou Qing underwent three root canal treatments, which lasted for nearly half a month.
In the past half month, both Lin Ting and Lin Qiu have focused their attention on Zhou Qing, leaving the six children in the family unsupervised.
Wang Shan and Lin Huan are fine.
After all, one of them has already developed study habits, and the other is older and more self-conscious.
But the others are like wild horses that have broken free from their reins. Once their minds have run away, it is difficult to get them back.
On the second night after Zhou Qing's root canal treatment was completely completed, when Lin Qiu got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, he found a ray of light coming through the crack in the door.
