As the two were talking, there was a noise outside the courtyard gate, mixed with the sound of a child crying. A woman shouted anxiously: "Uncle Bao! Is Uncle Bao home? Help!"
Lao Bao immediately got up and opened the door. Standing outside the door was Sister Guihua from the same village, holding her five-year-old son Xiaoliu in her arms.
Xiaoliu cried heartbreakingly, with one of his little hands tightly covering his cheek, and half of his face was swollen.
"Uncle Bao! Please take a look! This brat hit his head somewhere and came back complaining of pain. Half of his face is swollen and he can't eat. He has been crying all night!" Sister Guihua was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
Lao Bao let the mother and daughter into the main room. With the help of the oil lamp light, he saw that the right side of Xiaoliu's cheek near his jaw was swollen and shiny, the skin was red and hot, and the child was twitching in pain.
"Open your mouth and let grandpa take a look." Lao Bao said in a gentle voice.
Xiaoliu cried and forced himself to open his mouth, a strange smell emanated from him.
Lao Bao took a closer look and saw that a large gum on the right lower jaw was severely swollen and red, and even a little yellow-white pus could be seen.
"This is fire. Pus has come up. No wonder it hurts so much." Lao Bao frowned.
This disease is common in the village. When it occurs, it is extremely painful. Even adults find it unbearable, let alone children.
He usually just prescribes some bitter herbal soup to clear away heat and reduce fire, and then adds some herbal external application to reduce swelling. Not only is the effect slow, but the child also suffers.
"Uncle Bao, please think of a way to relieve the pain! The baby is in so much pain that he can't stand it!"
Sister Guihua was so distressed when she saw her son's painful expression that she burst into tears.
Lu Qingyang was listening in the inner room and felt something in his heart.
Pain... severe, localized pain... isn't this exactly what levofloxacin is indicated for?
He hesitated for a moment and looked at Lao Bao.
Lao Bao happened to be looking at him, and their eyes met, and they instantly understood each other's meaning.
Lao Bao nodded imperceptibly.
Lu Qingyang took a deep breath and said to Aunt Guihua, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I just happen to have some painkillers that work quickly. Give them to the child first to stop the pain. I will slowly prescribe a prescription to treat his root cause."
"Special potion? Really? Quick effect?"
"Yeah." Lu Qingyang had specially exchanged a bottle of levofloxacin for children.
It comes in a red bottle and has strawberry flavor, which is perfect for children.
Children cannot bear the bitterness, and the dosage of medicine is different from that of adults.
"Sister-in-law, feed it to the child, it should be less painful soon, but this medicine is very strong, it can only be used in an emergency. The root of the heat still needs to be slowly regulated by Lao Bao's decoction."
"Hey! Hey! Thank you, Captain! Thank you, Uncle Bao!"
Lu Qingyang said: "How heavy is Xiaoliu?"
"Oh, I don't know, maybe thirty?"
Lu Qingyang looked at the instructions and said, "4 ml is enough. Give it to him."
Sister Osmanthus thanked her profusely and quickly did as she was told.
The medicine was bitter, and Xiaoliu refused to take it. Now she coaxed the child and said, "Xiaoliu, try it, it's sweet."
Xiaoliu smelled it and found it was not bitter. He tasted it again and his eyes suddenly became bright: "It's not bitter, it's sweet!"
In the main room, several pairs of eyes were staring at Xiaoliu nervously.
The child was still sobbing, but his crying gradually became softer, and the hands that were tightly covering his cheeks slowly loosened.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiaoliu stopped crying. Although his face was still swollen, he leaned in his mother's arms and muttered softly, "Mom, it doesn't hurt that much."
"Really, it really doesn't hurt?" Sister Osmanthus was surprised and happy, she couldn't believe her eyes.
Old Bao stepped forward at the right time, checked it again, and said to Aunt Guihua:
"The medicine has taken effect. It can be suppressed temporarily, but the root of the fire is still there. Come over early tomorrow morning and I'll get you some medicine. Boil it on time and give it to him to drink. It will clear the fire poison in the root. Also, don't give him sweet things or things that will cause fire in the future."
"Hey! Hey! Remember! Thank you, Uncle Bao! Thank you, Captain!" Sister Guihua hugged her drowsy son and walked away with tears of gratitude.
After seeing off Sister Guihua, Lao Bao closed the gate and returned to the main hall, his eyes full of admiration: "Is this medicine specially for children?"
"Yes, the effect of the medicine on children is lighter."
Lao Bao nodded, and then sighed, "However, this Western medicine method of pain relief is really... overbearing in emergency situations!"
…
Lu Qingyang also had a lot of ideas. If he was in the limelight, he would become a civil servant according to his biological parents' wishes.
There will be no problem in having food and clothing for the rest of your life, and maybe you can even get a good job in the future.
But it is definitely not as fast as making money by doing business, especially after the reform and opening up, many national enterprises will emerge, and the demand for various goods will become higher and higher. This is the best time to enter the market.
Now he can be said to have mastered a lot of technologies, and he can use these technologies to open a factory.
Especially for pharmaceutical factories, the technologies of making leuprofen and cephalosporin are not yet available in China.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyang has already planned the next twenty years in his mind.
"Old Bao," Lu Qingyang suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and said to him, "I'll take Xiaomo back first. She needs to have a good rest. Please take care of Xiaoting here. I'll come back later."
"Okay, go ahead." Lao Bao waved his hand, then remembered something and shouted to the inner room, "Xiang Xiang! Catch the most diligent hen in our backyard and bring it back to Qingyang!"
Xiang Xiang responded and quickly came over with an old hen that was still struggling.
"This...this is not necessary!" Lu Qingyang quickly waved his hand to refuse.
What's missing from his space? He really doesn't need this chicken.
Besides, the master's family was not well off, and this old hen was an important "property".
"Here!" Lao Bao stuffed the chicken into Lu Qingyang's hand without saying anything. "One of you has just given birth, and the other is ill. It's time to replenish your energy! How can you just drink some plain soup? This old hen stew is the most nourishing! Don't you have that 'good ginseng'? Stew it together! Give them both a good boost! Don't waste time with me!"
"Then... OK!" Lu Qingyang felt warm in his heart and nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Lao Bao!"
After returning home, Lu Qingyang carried the chicken to the kitchen.
He did not immediately deal with this thoughtful old hen, but first immersed his consciousness in the space mall.
Premium wild ginseng, top-grade wolfberry, jujube, wild astragalus slices, and 깊ling spring water are used to prepare a pot of delicious chicken soup.
Lu Qingyang skillfully lit a fire and boiled water.
Chop the old hen into large pieces, put it in a pot with cold water, add a few slices of ginger and a little rice wine, and blanch it to remove the blood foam.
Rinse the chicken and put it in a large casserole next to it.
He picked up the wild ginseng and carefully cut off a few slices of ginseng as thin as a cicada's wing. Because it was so nutritious, he didn't dare to put more.
Put it into the casserole together with red dates, wolfberries and astragalus slices.
Finally, pour in the clear and sweet spring water until the water covers all the ingredients.
Cover the casserole with a lid and turn the firewood in the stove to low heat for a slow cooker.
Soon, an extremely mellow and delicious aroma wafted out from the cracks in the casserole, quickly filling the entire kitchen and even drifting into the inner room.
