"Yueyue, how do you plan to treat it?" Uncle Xu asked on the way back.
"Although Uncle Jianmin's leg bones were broken, they have been reconnected. The bones are fine, but it's the nerves that are damaged, causing paralysis in his lower body. If acupuncture is used to repair the damaged nerves, there's a good chance his legs will regain sensation."
Li Xiyue continued, "Acupuncture is the main method, supplemented by medication, but the medication should be replaced with medicinal baths."
"Switch the medicine you take for a medicinal bath?"
"That's right. Uncle Jianmin has been bedridden for many years and has been depressed, which has led to disharmony between his spleen and stomach. People with poor spleen and stomach will have a greatly reduced ability to absorb medicine. In addition, he is also very resistant to medicine, which makes his treatment even more unfavorable." Li Xiyue explained.
Uncle Xu thought she was right. "I've seen some references to medicinal baths in medical books. It should work."
"The skin breathes, and medication is absorbed faster through the skin than through the stomach and intestines, without harming the spleen and stomach." Li Xiyue continued, "Acupuncture and herbal baths are treatments for the body. The most important thing is to keep the patient in a good mood, so that you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Girl, you've hit the nail on the head." Uncle Xu stroked his beard. "Jianmin's biggest problem is his heart. As long as his heart is healed, his legs will naturally get better."
Li Xiyue nodded. "Generally, paralyzed patients will have varying degrees of muscle atrophy. Uncle Jianmin doesn't have this condition. He has been lying in bed for so many years and has no bedsores. This proves that he is well taken care of."
She has seen many patients paralyzed in bed, all of whom have bedsores. After taking care of people who cannot take care of themselves day after day, their families can't stand it for a long time, so naturally they are not as meticulous and diligent.
Uncle Xu said, "What do you think Xiangyang is doing here all day? I taught him to massage his uncle's legs, turn him over, and change his clothes... But actually, that's all thanks to that girl. When Xiangyang goes to my house during the day, it's Xiulan who takes care of Jianmin."
"Sister Xiulan is really good to Uncle Jianmin. No other woman can do what she does. Uncle Jianmin can be said to be lucky in this misfortune."
Uncle Xu nodded and said with a smile, "Yueyue, thank you for your hard work and concern."
"As doctors, we're not afraid of wasting time. As long as the patient is willing to cooperate, what's the big deal about wasting time?"
Uncle Xu Liu agreed, "You're right."
After returning home, Li Xiyue discussed with Uncle Xu Liu about prescribing a prescription suitable for Xu Jianmin, and also told him about asking Erniu and Laidi to collect herbs.
The child came to hand in the medicine, and I couldn't hide it from Uncle Xu Liu, so I had to let him know about it.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Xu Liu praised him, "You are not only smart but also kind-hearted. You are a rare good child."
She can clearly distinguish between good and evil, and is ruthless to evildoers, but compassionate and kind to the weak. She is a very principled person.
"Grandpa, please stop praising me. I'm only doing my bit. Those kids are so pitiful."
Uncle Xu sighed and said, "Yes, our place is poor. It's not easy to have enough food to eat. There are still many people who can't even get enough to eat."
"So grandpa, do you agree with me doing this?" Li Xiyue asked with a smile.
Uncle Xu Liu said with a doting look, "You are doing good deeds to accumulate virtue, how can I not agree? Yueyue, just go ahead and do it without any worries."
If anyone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, he will stand up for her.
In the afternoon, Uncle Xu Liu went to the mountains to collect herbs, and Li Xiyue stayed at home to look after the house.
She first prepared the medicine for Xu Jianmin and sent it over, then reminded him of some precautions and went back to prepare the medicinal materials. Xu Guoqing was still nowhere to be seen.
Xiaobai was sleeping soundly at Li Xiyue's feet. Everything was so quiet and peaceful.
Just before leaving work, Su Guixiang rushed in holding a child and shouted urgently, "Li Zhiqing, please save my Tietou."
There were two or three men and women following behind her, and they also looked anxious.
Li Xiyue stood up and asked, "Aunt Guixiang, what happened to Tietou?"
Tietou is Su Guixiang's grandson, and he is only three years old.
Su Guixiang said: "The day before yesterday, Tietou accidentally fell into the water while playing by the river. Although he is fine, he has nightmares every night. Today he suddenly had a fever and his face turned purple..."
Li Xiyue saw the child's face turn purple, his whole body twitching, and his eyes rolled up. She hurriedly hugged the child and said, "It's a high fever convulsion."
She took the child to the clinic and gave him first aid.
I took off the child's thick clothes, let him lie on his side, and then used acupuncture to cool him down. Soon, the child's convulsions gradually subsided.
Su Guixiang and her family came in and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the child looked much better.
Li Xiyue said: "The child was greatly frightened, his heart meridians were damaged, and his spleen and stomach were out of balance, which caused the high fever. You also dressed him too thickly, which prevented the body heat from dissipating, thus causing convulsions."
Of course, it is not ruled out that people with iron-headed constitutions are particularly prone to convulsions when they have a high fever.
"He fell into the river the day before yesterday and was rescued by Zhao, the young educated youth from your educated youth center. He might have been frightened," said Su Guixiang.
Li Xiyue was surprised to find out that the child Zhao Guohua saved was Tietou.
"If the fever is too high, don't cover your sweat, it will be very dangerous."
Most people in rural areas believe that fever can be cured by covering up, but in some cases it is not suitable to cover up, and it may be life-threatening in severe cases.
The family naturally thought that sweating would cure the disease, but they still believed in Li Xiyue's words. Without saying anything else, they nodded in agreement.
The child woke up, crying loudly, and was very excited. He even screamed when he saw strangers.
Li Xiyue frowned when she saw the child's reaction. He must be very scared. If he continues like this, he will still have a fever.
