"Pfft..."
Inside the outpatient clinic.
Su Zhengnan held the sterilized silver needle in his hand and inserted it directly, instantly piercing the boil on the back of Huang Weirong's neck without causing Huang Weirong any pain.
Huang Weirong felt a slight jolt in the back of his neck, and then felt as if something was flowing out from the back of his neck.
As soon as a small incision was made in the boil on the back of Huang Weirong's neck, Su Zhengnan immediately put on a pair of sterile gloves, then found some small sterile cotton swabs and slowly inserted them into the incision.
"Puff puff puff..."
The tiny, sterile noodles were slowly pressed in, and the pus hidden inside the boil was squeezed out; the scene was simply indescribable.
However, this is also the most reliable method to squeeze out the pus from the boil.
After inserting a sterile noodle, Su Zhengnan pulled it out and replaced it with a new sterile tampon, repeating the process. Clumps of milky yellow pus oozed from Huang Weirong's boil.
Soon, the boil on the back of Huang Weirong's neck shrank by more than half.
The remaining pus cannot be treated further, since it cannot be squeezed, and sterile tampons alone cannot completely remove it.
Then, Su Zhengnan stopped what he was doing, found some topical anti-inflammatory medicine, and poured some onto the boil.
After all this is done.
Su Zhengnan took off the sterile gloves he was wearing and threw them into the medical waste bin next to him. He returned to his desk and said to Huang Weirong, "The pus inside has been drained almost completely. I'll prescribe another prescription for you to take for a few more days."
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan prescribed several doses of Five-Flavor Disinfecting Drink for the other party.
As the saying goes: "Five flavors disinfect and treat all kinds of boils: honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, dandelion, purple flower, violet, and gentian seed. When decocted with wine and taken, the effect is remarkable."
Honeysuckle in this formula enters the lung and stomach meridians to clear heat and toxins from the upper and middle burner; wild chrysanthemum enters the liver meridian to specifically clear liver and gallbladder fire. The combination of these two herbs effectively clears heat accumulation in the qi level. Furthermore, dandelion and viola yedoensis both possess heat-clearing and detoxifying properties, making them essential medicines for carbuncles and boils…
Swish swish swish!
After writing out the prescription, Su Zhengnan handed the form to Huang Weirong and said, "Alright, take this form to pay, and then come back to pick up the medicine."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Su."
Huang Weirong got up, thanked them, and then took the receipt to pay.
When he returned after paying, Su Zhengnan had already prepared the medicine and handed it to him, instructing him: "Simmer this medicine until it is reduced to eight-tenths of its original volume, add 25g of rice wine and continue simmering until it boils. Drink it while it's hot, and then sweat it out."
"Huh? This... there are so many things to be careful about when decocting medicine?"
Huang Weirong was stunned, as if he didn't quite understand and found it very complicated.
He had never heard of Chinese medicine needing to be decocted with wine.
What if you can't hold your liquor?
After all, rice wine is still wine!
Su Zhengnan glanced at him helplessly, thought for a moment and said, "If you don't remember how to decoct it, just have it done at the school clinic. I'll give you a prescription, and you can go find Nurse Zhou."
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan directly gave Huang Weirong a prescription for decocting traditional Chinese medicine and then told him to go find Nurse Zhou.
Huang Weirong took the form, paused for a moment, then turned around and went to the nurses' station again.
"What? You need to add 25g of rice wine when decocting Chinese medicine?"
When Zhou Zixuan saw the prescription handed to her by Huang Weirong, she was stunned by the doctor's instructions written on it. With her limited intelligence, she couldn't understand why wine had to be added to the decoction.
Although she didn't really understand it, that didn't stop Zhou Zixuan from taking the order and having Huang Weirong pay for the frying service.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zixuan took the form and went to Su Zhengnan's clinic, looking at him with a puzzled expression and asking:
"Dr. Su, are you sure this prescription needs 25g of rice wine added? Is this a decoction of Chinese medicine?"
Su Zhengnan looked up at her and said, "Yes, this prescription requires the addition of rice wine. Just follow the doctor's instructions I wrote down to decoct it."
"Well... okay, I understand."
Zhou Zixuan nodded and didn't ask any further questions. She turned around, went back to the nurses' station, said a few words to Huang Weirong, and then began to prepare the medicine for him.
The decoction time is not long, about half an hour.
After Su Zhengnan examined two more students, Huang Weirong finished drinking the decocted Chinese medicine and left.
After returning to his dormitory from the school clinic, Huang Weirong remembered that Su Zhengnan had said that he should sweat after taking the medicine, so he went straight to bed and covered himself with the blanket.
When Huang Weirong's roommates saw him like this, they all stared at him with wide eyes.
"Hey Lao Huang, what are you doing? Why are you wrapped in a blanket in the middle of the day?"
"Old Huang, have you lost your mind?"
"Sleeping under the covers in the middle of the day? Aren't you afraid of getting heat rash?"
"Didn't I tell you to go to the school clinic and see Dr. Su? How come you're like this after you came back? Have you lost your mind?"
Li Haicheng, who had previously asked Huang Weirong to go to the school clinic, was also completely bewildered. He walked over to Huang Weirong's bedside, sat down, and gently patted Huang Weirong, who was covered by the blanket, before asking him a question.
Huang Weirong sobbed under the covers and replied, "I just finished drinking Chinese medicine. Doctor Su said I had to sweat it out after drinking the medicine. I was just following the doctor's orders."
"Huh? This kind of thing can happen after drinking Chinese medicine?"
Li Haicheng blinked in surprise, as this was the first time he had ever seen such a method of operation in traditional Chinese medicine.
Not long after.
Huang Weirong, who was hiding under the covers, felt himself sweating profusely. He then threw off the covers, got up, and took a deep breath of the outside air.
"Hiss... Huff..."
In an instant, Huang Weirong felt that after taking that breath, his mind suddenly became much clearer, and even his previously agitated state of mind calmed down.
Li Haicheng and the others in the dormitory watched as Huang Weirong's flushed face quickly subsided, and a glimmer of light appeared in his previously unfocused eyes. They all stared at him curiously.
Why are you all staring at me? Is there something on my face?
Huang Weirong, who had just come to his senses, was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Haicheng and the others to ask them a question.
Li Haicheng sniffed the surrounding air, frowned, and looked at him, saying, "You've been drinking? I can still smell a faint scent of alcohol here."
Although the alcohol content of rice wine is not high, and the amount added to the medicine Huang Weirong drank was actually very small.
But as soon as he threw off the blanket, a faint smell of alcohol immediately wafted out, which Li Haicheng, who was nearby, could naturally smell.
