"Some headaches, brain fever and minor injuries should be able to be treated. In a few days, I will go to the mountains to pick some herbs for preparation. If everyone in the village feels uncomfortable, they can come to me for treatment. We are all from the village, so I will diagnose There is no charge, but there is a charge for treatment of the disease, which can be in cash or in other words."
If you agree from the beginning that it is not free, things will be easier to handle in the future.
People in the village were a little happy when the auscultation fee was free. It was normal to charge for treatment. After all, it required medication, so how could one not do without money? And it can be replaced with other items, and the villagers accepted it immediately.
At that time, someone came to Qian Yan and asked her to help her take a look. This person was Wu Xiaoxiang's mother, Nie Chunniang.
Nie Chunniang raised her wrists, and there were dense red rashes on her arms, and some areas were scratched to pieces: "I still have them on my body, but they itch me to death. I've had this for many years, and occasionally I get it." Occasionally it doesn't grow, and sometimes when it's serious, the arms and legs will swell. I've seen doctors before, but it's of no use and it can't be cured."
If the doctor couldn't cure it, she didn't bother to go see her. Every time she got a red rash, she could only endure it, and she would have to skip two bites of food in those days. Usually it lasts for three to five days, after which the red rash will slowly disappear.
"Yanzi just give me a look. It doesn't matter if it can't be cured. I'm just here to try my luck." Because her family had enough money, she had found all the doctors she could find.
Qian Yan held Nie Chunniang's arm and observed, and after a while she said: "Sister-in-law Nie, you must be allergic."
Thinking of what the other person just said, he still has repeated allergies. It must be that he is often exposed to things he is allergic to.
Some allergies can be fatal. The other person only develops a red rash and itches, and occasionally his hands and feet become swollen. He is lucky.
People in the village are a little confused because there is no word for allergies in this era.
Qian Yan explained: "There are some things that others can smell, eat, and touch, but you, Sister-in-law Nie, cannot touch them. As soon as you touch or eat them, this situation will appear. You said it would be fine in a few days, It's probably because you haven't been exposed to those things in the past few days since you got sick. If you want to cure this disease, you need to find out what you are allergic to and don't touch it in the future."
Everyone understood her explanation.
Qian Yan asked Nie Chunniang to recall what she had been exposed to or eaten before each onset of illness.
Wu Xiaoxiang, who was next to him, also helped to recall. Both of them had very good memories.
"Actually, the number of illnesses in recent months has been much less than before," Nie Chunniang thought for a while and then said, "Since the flood, it has indeed been much less."
Qian Yan drew on the ground with a bamboo stick, writing down things that might be allergic.
"Every time Sister-in-law Nie gets sick, does she lose her appetite and eat more lightly?"
"That's right, I have no appetite at all. Let alone the meaty taste, I don't even want to eat my favorite eggs." Nie Chunniang said.
Qian Yan raised her head: "After investigation, I suspect that your allergy is caused by eggs. You have never broken eggs before you get sick. In fact, you should have a small amount of allergic reaction from the first time you eat it, but you may not care about it. , if you continue to eat every day..."
"You said there have been fewer cases of illness in recent months, is it because you eat less eggs?"
Although Nie Chun's family is in good condition, the flood also caused a lot of losses to them, and most of the crops in the fields were destroyed. Naturally, the eggs had to be saved and exchanged for silver and other items, so they ate less. (End of chapter)
