My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1391 552: Level 6 Pharmacological Differentiation, T

The person speaking should be the grandfather of the child patient.

Although he's a grandfather, he's not particularly old, looking to be just under fifty years old.

As for the child's parents, they are in their early twenties and still quite inexperienced.

The major decisions are typically handled and overseen by the child's grandparents.

"Alright, thank you for your trust and cooperation. Our hospital will certainly do our utmost. Everyone shares the sa goal, hoping that this smart and adorable baby recovers health swiftly."

Director Tang Fei concluded the eting, which temporarily ca to an end here.

...

When lunchti rolled around, Zhou Can checked his phone and found a voice ssage from Director Tang Fei on WeChat. She told him that after the child was treated with an intravenous drip of prostaglandin, there was a noticeable improvent in symptoms.

The main manifestations of heart failure are chest tightness and difficulty breathing.

She also told Zhou Can that the child's mother specifically sent a ssage to thank him for suggesting the thod of feeding the child with a dropper.

Although this thod is a bit ti-consuming, after feeding the child with breast milk, the baby has been peacefully sleeping for over two hours without waking up. This was almost unimaginable in the past two days.

The child was almost crying incessantly, day and night.

Because infants cannot speak, they cannot tell their parents if they feel discomfort, with crying being their only natural way of expression.

Even as adults, when we feel unwell, we might cry.

When faced with particularly fussy children, especially those who have just been born, one must be vigilant about whether the child has a disease or is in pain.

Zhou Can, when on duty in pediatrics, once attended to a child patient just over four months old. The child's mother was nearly at her breaking point, telling Zhou Can that she didn't know why her baby had been crying incessantly for the past few days.

At night, it was so disruptively noisy that she hardly got any sleep.

After examining the child, Zhou Can discovered a herbal plaster stuck on the child's navel.

Upon inquiry, it was found that the child's grandmother had noticed the weather was hot, making the child sweat profusely. Concerned that the child might suffer from heatstroke, she had taken the child to a small clinic downstairs for a pediatric cooling plaster.

So colleagues of the child's family ntioned that the pediatric cooling plaster had quite a good effect.

It could prevent heatstroke and the onset of prickly heat in children, among other things.

Then the clinic 'doctor,' in order to sell the plaster, enthusiastically touted it as purely herbal with no side effects, and so on.

The child's grandmother naturally trusted this implicitly.

In the first two days after applying the plaster, the child slept very peacefully. Especially at noon, usually too hot to sleep, but with the plaster, the child slept soundly for two days straight.

However, by the third day, the child started showing signs of fussiness.

By the ti they brought the baby to the hospital on the morning of the fifth day, Zhou Can, based on his experience, imdiately discerned that the likely cause of the child's distress was the plaster.

Carefully peeling the plaster off the child revealed that the tender skin was already red and swollen.

Moreover, the navel seed to be showing signs of becoming pustulent, with a faint odor of decomposition emanating from it.

If they had delayed another day or two, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The weather was hot, and the child's resistance to bacteria and viruses was inherently weak. The navel is akin to the 'eye' of the abdon, crucial during fetal developnt for absorbing nutrients and oxygen from the mother.

Having started to fester and suppurate, if it continued invading the abdominal cavity, septicemia alone could easily claim the life of the child patient.
