Back to ancient times to open obstetrics

Chapter 911 Epidemic? (3)
Du Ruo could probably predict at this moment that the little boy had measles, a highly contagious disease.Du Ruo thought for a while, and said, "Sister-in-law, take your little sister out to wash your hands. You can't let her take care of this child in the future. And you, you have to pay attention and wash your hands frequently."

Hearing what Du Ruo said, the young daughter-in-law was so frightened that she almost fell down and cried, "Elder sister is her father, Dabao is suffering from the same disease as his parents, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? If Dabao had that disease, he would have died of it two years ago. He has been with us in the capital for such a long time. How could he have that kind of disease?" Du Ruo could tell by their accent that he was not a native of the capital. After asking, I found out that they came from Huaibei. Two years ago, the hometown was hit by a flood. A plague killed more than half of the villagers. They were the ones who managed to escape.

Du Ruo remembered the plague two years ago. At that time, the imperial court sent an imperial physician there, but the disease was too severe and contagious. In the end, he had to gather all the infected people together and watch them die one by one. Burned the whole village.

At that time, Du Ruo was very sad when he heard the second master Du said this. He heard that some people could be cured in the end, but because the court was afraid of the spread of the plague, some people who could be cured were also burned to death. .

Du Ruo glanced at the child on the bed, it is midsummer now, and it is not easy to spread compared to spring.It's just that the begging street is crowded with people and the sanitary conditions are poor. If it spreads, the whole street will become a measles street.At that time, I'm afraid that the imperial court will take some measures again, and these people who can finally settle down in the capital will become homeless again.

Du Ruo thought for a while, then turned around and said to the elder brother who had invited him over: "Brother, go out and ask, is there any child on this street who has a high fever like yours?"

The man was about to go out, but his wife stopped him and said, "I asked yesterday, after leaving our family's big treasure, everything else is fine. At first, I thought it was usually for the few of them to play together, did they eat?" It’s only when something is broken, otherwise, why would our Dabao get sick when they are fine?”

Hearing what she said, Du Ruo felt slightly relieved, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not sure that this disease can be cured, but from today on, don't let this girl take care of the baby, this disease attracts children the most, don't One is not well, and the other is sick again."

As Du Ruo said, she stretched out her hand to feel the boy's pulse, and then looked at the tongue coating and pupils.Seeing that he didn't have a severe fever at the moment, he got up and walked to the yard, and squatted down with the medicine box to write the prescription.Du Ruo deliberated for a long time, finally finished the prescription, handed it to the man and said, "Brother, the medicine on this prescription is not expensive, and the semicolon on Pingsha Road is the closest to here, you can go there While grabbing medicine, I don’t worry about other medicines.”

It's getting late when Du Ruo returns to Du's mansion from Begging Street. Liu Qiqiao has just identified the entire Du family's servants in the front yard. There are about eighty people in total. At the moment, his mind is still in a mess. I just feel that there are a lot of faces and names that don't match.Fortunately, Lianqiao followed her there, and she also had someone to ask, and she was chatting with Lianqiao at the same time, while walking towards Baicaoyuan.

After entering the yard, she saw a few young maids doing rough work carrying water into the room, Liu Qiqiao just asked, "What are you doing bringing water in now? What are you doing, Young Master?"
