Chapter 171: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
**Chapter 171: Allergic Reaction**
Suisui didn't understand penicillin or garlic extract.
She only knew that her good friend, Sister Shuruan, whom she had just met today, was sick and not feeling well, and Aunt He was very worried.
So, when she encountered a doctor, she had to ask.
Feeling nervous, Suisui looked into Dr. Xu’s eyes, her beautiful big eyes blinking steadily at him, making his heart feel soft yet bittersweet.
He thought that simply hearing about the illness didn't necessarily mean the diagnosis would be accurate.
But who could refuse such a pure and adorable child's request?
After a moment's thought, Dr. Xu agreed, “Alright, Suisui, go ahead and tell me.”
Today, when Suisui was playing with Sister Shuruan, she had heard her mention how she felt when she was unwell.
“Sometimes, I suddenly have difficulty breathing, my throat tightens, I feel chest tightness, and when it gets severe, I can’t breathe at all and need medication to adjust.”
“Every spring, it gets worse.”
...
Suisui didn’t remember the details too clearly.
She spoke as she recalled, without much logic.
After listening, Dr. Xu had to summarize and analyze the information herself.
Otherwise, based on what Suisui provided, it would be difficult to understand the illness.
Once Suisui finished sharing everything she knew, Dr. Xu pondered for a moment before speaking.
“Based on the information Suisui provided, it should be a pollen allergy, which has led to a decline in immunity. Her body's resistance is significantly reduced, making her susceptible to allergic reactions from hair or even dust, and rashes can easily appear, like when the wind blows.”
“This is a possibility.”
“In such cases, antihistamines can be used, preferably those with fewer side effects, like loratadine…”
“The patient has already shown asthma reactions, so nasal spray treatment is actually quicker and more effective with minimal side effects…”
Dr. Xu started to talk and found it hard to stop.
As she spoke, she noticed Suisui’s confused expression and suddenly realized, “Oh dear, I forgot that you don’t have those!”
This is ancient times!
Even antibiotics had to be made from scratch.
Where would there be various anti-allergy medications?
She thought about this and smiled kindly at Suisui, “Don’t worry, Suisui. There are other methods.”
“Yes, yes, there are soups and medicines available now. The technology should be able to manage it.”
“However, allergies…”
It is a type of hypersensitivity disease of the immune system, generally influenced significantly by external factors.
It’s not something that can be cured in one go.
In Sister He Shuruan's case, it is likely a pollen allergy. Once exposed to pollen or dusty items, the immune system reacts as if it’s under stress, directly starting to fight back.
When both sides clash, there will inevitably be some reaction.
So, He Shuruan would experience subsequent discomfort in her body.
The idea of fundamentally curing this…
It’s very difficult.
Because one can’t possibly keep a person in a place devoid of pollen or dust for their entire life, right?
That would be too cruel.
But if they face these external factors directly, they will inevitably have to confront these reactions.
Moreover, medical technology in ancient times is not very advanced, and raising children is quite challenging.
Therefore, such repeated allergic reactions can also harm the child's immune system.
What happens afterward, no one knows.
Thinking about this, Dr. Xu softened her voice, “Sister Shuruan’s condition is quite complex. When she goes out in spring, she should try to wear a veil or a gauze curtain and stay away from places where flowers are in full bloom.”
“Coupled with Xiao Qinglong Decoction and Gui Ma Equal Parts Decoction, it can stabilize her allergic reactions and prevent exacerbating the chest tightness and asthma to avoid further complications.”
Suisui: ?
She couldn’t understand at all.
Moreover, what was Qinglong?
What was Gui Ma?
Suisui felt her head was starting to spin.
Dr. Xu also realized that asking a child who had never been exposed to medicine to remember these things was quite difficult.
However, Dr. Xu believed that although the current medical conditions were not perfect, there were certainly various herbal soups available.
If He Shuruan had grown up this big, she must have drunk quite a lot of soups.
Now, it was just about enhancing daily protection, like wearing veils or curtains.
There was actually another method called desensitization therapy.
Although this method is risky, it can sometimes cure the problem fundamentally.
It involves using the allergen to repeatedly stimulate the person’s reaction.
In other words, by continuously irritating the immune system, it can trigger a strong protective response.
Put simply, some things become less stimulating after being repeatedly provoked.
The immune system might even consider the allergen a weakling.
After so many challenges, the immune system eventually wins!
However, this method is too dangerous, and since Suisui is a child, any miscommunication could lead to harm.
Dr. Xu didn't want to hurt anyone, especially not Suisui.
Unfortunately, communication between them was limited, and they couldn’t even write down anything.
Otherwise, she could write down the extraction method for penicillin, and with so many doctors in ancient times, they could research it slowly.
If a year isn’t enough, ten years might do, and if a hundred years isn’t enough, then so be it!
Unfortunately, it wasn’t possible.
Dealing with a child, Dr. Xu felt helpless yet resigned.
However, there was not too much regret.
She thought, since the conditions were like this, she would do her best to explain everything she could, letting Suisui remember whatever she could.
When Suisui fell into a deep sleep later that night, her mind was still filled with thoughts of peeling garlic and putting it into the distillation device...
Xiao Qinglong Decoction, Si Wu Decoction, Gui Ma Equal Parts Decoction...
The next day, when Suisui woke up, she sat there in confusion, even forgetting to go to the cleansing room.
Her aunt, fearing the little child might be too drowsy to remember, specially came to carry her to the cleansing room. After solving her physiological needs, she carried her back.
After such a fuss, most of Suisui’s sleepiness faded.
She turned her head to look at her mother, who was getting ready, opened her mouth to talk about Dr. Xu, but after thinking for a long time, she could only remember Xiao Qinglong Decoction.
Hearing Suisui mumbling about Xiao Qinglong Decoction, Qi Wangfei paused for a moment. After pinning her hairpin in place, she smiled and asked, “Is this the medicine that Sister Shuruan mentioned yesterday?”
Qi Wangfei didn’t know much about He Shuruan ’s health.
She only guessed that the other party was probably drinking Xiao Qinglong Decoction and mentioned it to Suisui, which was why the little girl remembered it.
Upon hearing her mother’s question, Suisui thought for a moment and nodded, “Yes, Sister Shuruan should drink Xiao Qinglong Decoction.”
Qi Wangfei didn’t catch the subtlety in Suisui's words, thinking that the child’s logic was just a bit muddled.
She smiled, hugged Suisui, then personally wet a cloth to wash Suisui’s face, dry her hair, apply some moisturizing balm, change her clothes, and finally picked her up to head out. “Let’s go eat vegetarian food!”
