Her brain is a bit like a supernatural power, as if she can see through the human body to determine the location of the patient's disease, but since she learned from Senior Brother Huang that she may not have supernatural powers, she now tries to be as rigorous as possible in every one of her inferences.
There was a gleam of light in Nie Jiamin's black eyes, as if he thought the sentence she added at the end was a bit redundant.
"What did your doctor say? Will you prescribe medicine for my daughter?" Lulu's mother urged the doctor.
Teacher Nie is not good at Mandarin, so Xie Wanying communicated with the family on behalf of the teacher to explain the child's condition: "Professor Nie examined Lulu carefully, and Lulu may not have a common cold."
"A runny nose and sneezing, isn't that a cold?"
"Her main symptoms are coughing and wheezing, and the runny nose is the result of her picking her nose with her fingers. She picked her nose because she felt uncomfortable and had difficulty breathing. Children are young and their language expression is not clear, which can easily lead to misunderstandings," said Xie Wanying.
Lulu's mother turned around and grabbed her daughter and asked, "Tell the doctor clearly what's wrong with you."
Lulu was being pulled by her mother, and her little throat was choking and she was coughing.
"Why is she coughing again? Please prescribe some cough syrup for her." Lulu's mother urged the doctor again.
...
...
"It's not that we don't want to prescribe medicine for her, but her cough is a natural physiological reaction of the human body. Her bronchus is blocked by foreign objects, and the inflammation caused by the foreign objects stimulates her airway, causing her to cough constantly and even wheeze and have difficulty breathing. She must go to the hospital immediately."
"What?" Lulu's mother seemed to not understand what the doctor said. How could her daughter's cold turn into a foreign body in her trachea?
"Has Lulu ever eaten watermelon or jelly before?"
"You're talking about fruit snacks, which child doesn't eat them? Is it wrong for me to let her eat them?" Lulu's mother said in a dissatisfied tone.
"It doesn't say that children can't eat it. But no matter what the child eats, the adult should watch carefully, so as to find out in time if the child is not paying attention and the food goes into the trachea. If something like watermelon seed jelly goes into the child's trachea, not only the child, but also the adult may suffocate, which can easily be fatal. Can you recall if she has eaten it?"
Lulu's mother's breathing became rapid. Seeing her baby's face turning blue, she must have been frightened by the doctor's words and remembered similar news. She said tremblingly, "She can breathe now, right?"
"It depends on the extent of the foreign object blocking her trachea. The reason she can still breathe now is that the foreign object may not have safely blocked her trachea. But the foreign object will definitely move downwards. The trachea becomes thinner as it goes down. The foreign object will completely block the trachea below, and then -"
"Ah!" Lulu's mother suddenly cried out, and was about to cry, "What should I do with my baby?"
The surrounding villagers and village officials including Village Chief Li gathered around.
Lulu's mother was panicking and grabbed Village Chief Li's hand and said, "What should I do? I can't understand what the doctor is saying."
"Don't be afraid. She is a great doctor from the National Association. Just listen to what she says and do as she says." Village Chief Li said to her. Anyway, as a village chief who is not a doctor, he can only listen to and do what the doctor says.
"Doctor, what should we do?" Lulu's mother turned around and asked.
Seeing that the family members were cooperative, Xie Wanying said, "I'm not sure if the county hospital has bronchoscopes. We can go to the county hospital for a CT scan first. If the results show that there is a foreign body in the trachea, we should send the child to a large hospital in the capital as soon as possible."
