Chapter 47 Penicillin



After a busy day, Ye Han and Yue Chengyu dragged their tired bodies back to the palace.

As soon as they entered the palace gate, the butler came to greet them, "Prince, Princess, something happened."

"What happened?" Yue Chengyu asked in a deep voice.

"In the construction yard, a worker was accidentally scratched by an iron tool and now has a high fever that won't go away."

When Ye Han heard that it was a construction matter, he quickly took over and asked, "Butler Wu, when did it happen? Did you see a doctor at the time?"

"This morning, I consulted a doctor."

"When did the fever come on?"

"I took some medicine two hours ago, but the symptoms haven't subsided."

"Let's go and take a look." After saying that, Ye Han walked in quickly, and Yue Chengyu followed closely behind.

Butler Wu watched as the prince and princess left and hurried to catch up.

"Your humble servant greets the prince and princess." The doctor looked at Yue Chengyu and Ye Han who came in and bowed quickly.

"Excuse me, how is the patient?" Ye Han raised his hand to ask the doctor to excuse himself and asked about the man's condition.

"The fever keeps going high. If it doesn't go away, then..."

Ye Han understood. "Doctor, what you mean is that as long as the fever can be reduced, there will be no danger to life?"

"Yes."

"Doctor, do you know what caused the fever?" Ye Han guessed that it was inflammation caused by wound infection, but just in case, Ye Han asked the doctor again.

"It's a wound infection."

"Okay, I got it." After confirming it, Ye Han said to Yue Chengyu, "Your Highness, you're very fast. Please help me get the small white box in the bedside table. There are commonly used medicines in it."

"Okay, wait a moment." Yue Chengyu turned around and went out.

I have to say that people who practice martial arts are really fast on their feet. Ye Han felt that he had just sat down when Yue Chengyu came back with a medicine box.

"Princess, is this it?" Yue Chengyu said as he placed the medicine box in front of Ye Han.

"Yes, that's right, that's it."

Ye Han opened the medicine box and took out alcohol, bandages and amoxicillin, an anti-inflammatory drug. After thinking for a while, he took out another fever-reducing drug.

"Doctor, please use this to clean the patient's wound, then bandage it. And then feed him a pill of this medicine." Ye Han pointed at the medicine and told the doctor how to use it.

The doctor looked at the strange medicine, his heart full of doubts, but in the end he didn't say anything and chose to do as he was told.

Yue Chengyu was actually very curious, but now was obviously not a good time to ask questions.

Therefore, the room was surprisingly quiet, with only the sound of the doctor busying around.

However, Ye Han seemed to have thought of something and ordered another tetanus immunoglobulin online.

The doctor took the medicine from Ye Han's hand and began to operate according to Ye Han's instructions.

First, he took the bottle of alcohol and opened the lid. A strong smell of alcohol came out, and even Yue Chengyu and Ye Han, who were far away from the bed, could smell it.

The doctor smelled the alcohol and was surprised. "What a strong liquor."

Yue Chengyu smelled the scent, turned to look at Ye Han, and asked, "Is this wine?"

Ye Han nodded. "Yes, but you can't drink this. This is alcohol. It can be used to disinfect wounds and kill bacteria."

Yue Chengyu nodded, lowered his head, thinking about something, and after a while, asked again, "Can it prevent wound infection?"

"Yes, it can greatly avoid wound infection and reduce casualties."

"Can it be used in the military?"

"Of course. Most of the casualties in war are not caused by swords and knives, but by wound infections. If alcohol is widely used, it should be able to greatly reduce casualties." Ye Han knew what Yue Chengyu was going to say and said it naturally.

"Does the princess know how to do this?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Han turned around and stared at Yue Chengyu, making Yue Chengyu shudder. "Princess? What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, you are already a qualified Internet user. If you have any questions, you should be good at searching. Based on my limited knowledge of chemistry, the purification of alcohol should not be difficult and should be possible in Dayue." Ye Han sighed and said quietly.

Yue Chengyu touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I've never gotten used to the existence of the Internet."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it after using it more."

While Ye Han and Yue Chengyu were chatting, the doctor had already cleaned the injured worker's wound and re-bandaged it. Now the doctor was studying the amoxicillin capsule.

I was studying how to feed the unconscious patient, and I was also studying this small capsule in my hand.

"What kind of medicine is this? What does it do?..." A series of questions flashed through his mind. However, no one gave him an answer.

"Princess, this patient is in a coma and can't swallow. He can't be fed." The doctor studied for a long time and finally asked Ye Han.

"Do you have a spoon?"

"Yes." The doctor quickly brought the spoon to Ye Han and handed it to him.

Ye Han took the spoon and the capsule from the doctor's hand, broke the capsule in half, poured the medicine powder inside into the spoon, and added a little water to dissolve the medicine powder. Let's see if it can be fed now?

Ye Han handed the spoon to the doctor, who took the spoon and fed it to the injured worker.

After watching the doctor feed the medicine, Ye Han instructed the doctor, "Soak a towel in cold water to cool him down physically. Observe for about half an hour to see if the fever goes down."

"yes."

"Let me know in half an hour whether the fever has subsided or not."

"I obey your command."

Ye Han nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Then he took Yue Chengyu out.

"What was that medicine used for?" Yue Chengyu asked as he walked.

"It's anti-inflammatory. Its main ingredient is penicillin, and it's a life-saving medicine in Dai Viet. It can treat high fevers caused by wound infections, pneumonia, syphilis, and other problems. If alcohol prevents wound infections, then penicillin treats existing wound infections. In their history, during World War II, a bottle of penicillin was even worth more than gold."

"Can it be made?" Yue Chengyu was excited. If it could be made, how many casualties could be reduced in the future. You have to know how important population is to a country. Especially if there is a war, the most vigorous adult males in a country will be consumed. For the ancient times with low productivity, these were the most important labor force.

"This is not as easy as alcohol. It's easy to obtain, but it's difficult to purify with current technology. If it's impure, the mortality rate may be very high. However, you can check it out and study it first." Ye Han gave Yue Chengyu an idea. Of course, whether to invest in research and when to invest depends on them. After all, only those in power know the situation of the national treasury and whether it can support it.
