I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 228 Modern Medicine with Immediate Effects

"This disease is contagious. During the treatment period, you must isolate yourself and eat a light diet. The maid who is taking care of the young lady will come over. I will give you detailed instructions on what to pay attention to. The others will go out. Here is a jar of alcohol gel. Each person should take a spoonful of it for disinfection. Then take off your coat in one place, put the bottle of disinfectant into the laundry tub, and disinfect them together."

Xia Qingdai gave her instructions with confidence, and the atmosphere in the room instantly relaxed.

Her performance gave hope to the Duke's family. Her calm and confident posture can make people shine and make people feel reassuring.

The previous doctors only asked them to prepare themselves mentally, and even hinted that the Duke could prepare for his funeral!

Isn't this poking fun at the heart of the Duke and Duchess? The one lying on the bed is a baby bump that the Duchess only gave birth to when she was nearly forty years old!

Although this age is ordinary in modern times, there are many mothers of second children at this age. But this was three hundred years ago in the eighteenth century, and the average human life span was only thirty-five years!
In the past, the mortality rate of children was high, and the elderly did not live long. The level of medical care was really low, and there was no quality of life at all.

Even Western aristocrats could only receive treatments such as bloodletting, enemas, and vomiting. Poor people who cannot afford treatment do not have to suffer this crime.

When Xia Qingdai came in just now, she wanted to complain when she saw the gaping blood basin, but she didn't know where to start.

Following the instructions of Divine Doctor Xia, who had the strongest aura, everyone exited the little girl's ward one by one.

Xia Qingdai didn't stay in the room for long. She had to go back to modern times to buy medicine for the little girl.

Once it is confirmed that the child has hand, foot and mouth disease, there is no need to worry about whether it can be cured. Although there is no specific medicine, symptomatic treatment is available. She is ready to stock up on some Chinese and Western medicines such as ribavirin, dexamethasone, Yinhua, Forsythia, Lithospermum, etc.

Western medicine can be bought directly from pharmacies outside the community, and Chinese medicine is also very convenient now. When I go to Mr. Liang's Chinese medicine dispensary to practice medicine division, I take one of each kind, which is more than enough for the patients in Lilliput.

Taking some Chinese medicinal materials home and studying them carefully when they were empty was originally one of the learning tasks assigned to Xia Qingdai by Mr. Liang.

After seeing the doctor, the Duke and Duchess gave Xia Qingdai a generous medical fee and asked her to stay in the castle tonight.

Xia Qingdai pondered for a moment, and then asked Owen what he thought.

She doesn't care whether she returns or not. Anyway, even if she returns to Biluo Residence, she won't sleep in her room, but will directly jump back to Fucui Villa.

But Owen is different. Living in someone else's home is definitely not as comfortable as his own.

If he wanted to go back, Xia Qingdai would just transform into Superman and let him fly back in the carriage, just like when he came here, without fear of wind or rain.

However, Owen said that everything is her priority and he has nothing to do with it.

In this case, after thinking about it, Xia Qingdai agreed to the Duke and Duchess's invitation to stay overnight.

She considered that if the little girl's condition changed in the middle of the night, such as having a high fever and convulsions, she could come over for treatment in time.

Xia Qingdai is still very ethical when it comes to treating illnesses and rescuing people.

There are many rooms in the castle. Ancient noble houses, both in China and the West, have many guest rooms. They seem to be ready to welcome guests at any time.

It is common for gentlemen and ladies who have nothing to do to stay with relatives and friends for several months.

The room that the Duchess arranged for Xia Qingdai was very close to her youngest daughter's and not far from Helena's.

If her sister's current situation was not very good, Helena would be very willing to sleep with Xia Qingdai and talk all night long. This young girl who is always full of energy is extremely arrogant. She dislikes basically all the girls in the social circle. Only Xia Qingdai, who ignored the eyes of the world and went to the morgue to dissect corpses, was cool.

As long as you have the same rebellious heart as her, then we are all from the same country.

But Xia Qingdai doesn't care about sharing a bed with Helena. It's so nice to have a room and a bed for each person!
She and Jane only slept together in the Lotus Building for a few nights during their journey - and she left in the middle of the night.

The position of other people in Xia Qingdai's heart was far from being comparable to that of Jane Austen.

The castle always seems to have a special story on a stormy night, especially this building itself, which is full of history.

However, Xia Qingdai only felt it in the room for a short while, and then her mind changed and she returned to the modern era.

She first put away the stagnant water pump placed in the Thames River to pump water, observed the impact of the hurricane, and felt that the building could still withstand it, and then went to the pharmacy outside the community downstairs to buy medicine with confidence.

After returning home to distribute the medicine, Xia Qingdai returned to the castle. Although I wasn't sleepy yet, I decided to take a nap.

Anyway, she couldn't leave now. She had to observe the little girl next door at all times, so she simply went to bed.

At around three o'clock in the morning, there was an urgent knock on the door of Xia Qingdai's room.

She opened the door, and sure enough it was the maid who took care of the little girl knocking on the door. At this time, she was holding a candlestick in her hand, looking at Xia Qingdai with panic in her eyes, and stammered to tell Xia Qingdai: "The little... miss has a high fever again, she is about to... she is dying, she is convulsing, please Save her!"

Xia Qingdai didn't panic. She estimated that the little girl had a high temperature convulsion.

I gave the little girl antipyretic medicine before, but now it has been seven or eight hours, and the fever may start again. Recurrent high fever is also one of the symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease.

Although Xia Qingdai didn't panic, she couldn't afford to delay. After all, hyperthermic convulsions are not a trivial matter. In modern times, they are also an emergency that require immediate treatment at the hospital.

The little girl's hand, foot and mouth disease was more serious than usual, and Xia Qingdai expected this to happen.

Although there was no way to administer drugs by injection, Xia Qingdai had already consulted her own teachers in modern times on how to deal with high temperature convulsions in traditional Chinese medicine, so she did not panic at all.

Apart from Xia Qingdai, who was awakened by this news, there were also the Duke and Duchess who had not slept well.

While Xia Qingdai was patting the little girl's back and massaging her acupoints, the Duchess rushed in, crying with her darling.

Xia Qingdai stopped her movements with her eyes.

In the end, the Duchess stopped one meter away from the bed, clutching the pajamas on her chest, and nervously watched Xia Qingdai's methodical treatment.

After treating the hyperthermic convulsions, Xia Qingdai once again fed the little girl ibuprofen, a modern antipyretic drug. And in order to enhance the effect, an acupuncture was also performed.

Then we observed the situation. Soon after taking antipyretics and acupuncture, the little girl's high fever subsided.

Before Xia Qingdai left the room, she told the maid that if the little girl had a fever again after four hours, she would continue to administer the medicine.

The duchess thanked Xia Qingdai with tears in her eyes, and the duke himself came over dressed.

When Xia Qingdai saw the Duke wearing a wig when his daughter came to her room in the early hours of the morning to be seriously ill, she always felt ridiculous in her heart. Is this going to be dignified until death?
