Lu Xuan was wearing thick clothes and a large cloak, and his eyes were slightly haggard. It's just that when Lu Xuan came in, he was wearing a simple mask, which he made during his break on the way.
The masks made by Lu Xuan were just layers of tulle sewn together and did not meet the standards of later generations of medical masks.
In this day and age, it's barely enough.
The germs of later generations have continued to evolve, and it is not easy to protect against them. This era was much more primitive, and the human body was less resistant to drugs. Common medicines in later generations may be miracle medicines in this era.
Because people in this era have not used antibiotics.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Xuan was confident to come in person.
Lu Xuan walked to Zhou Yu and sat down, smiling and saying: "Gong Jin, as long as I am here, you can rest in peace and recover, and leave everything to me."
Zhou Yu looked moved and was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't have come. My illness is an epidemic. Even Dr. Zhang is helpless."
Lu Xuan said: "With me here, you can rest assured."
He carefully examined Zhou Yu's condition. Although Zhou Yu looked pale and his eyes were bloodshot, he was still somewhat energetic and did not have a high fever under Zhang Zhongjing's care.
This is Zhang Zhongjing’s contribution.
If Zhang Zhongjing had not arrived early, Zhou Yu's condition would have been much more serious, and he might have died long ago.
Lu Xuan consoled him: "Gong Jin, in the eyes of ordinary doctors, your illness is incurable. But in my eyes, your illness is actually not complicated. As long as you don't give up, you can get through it."
"Leave everything to me."
"Trust me, I can cure you."
Lu Xuan spoke very firmly.
Zhou Yu looked at the confident Lu Xuan and thought inexplicably that he had never failed in his expeditions with Lu Xuan over the years. A smile flashed across his pale face, he nodded and said, "My lord, please wait for the good news."
Lu Xuan ordered: "Zi Yi, help Gong Jin lie down and rest."
"Here!"
Taishi Ci walked forward directly.
"No need, I can rest on my own."
Zhou Yu shook his head and refused Taishi Cilai's help, and lay down to rest by himself. During this period, he even tried to eat by himself and avoid contact with people around him. He only asked for help if he had no other choice.
Lu Xuan waited for Zhou Yu to go to bed before taking Tai Shici out. He took out a mask from his sleeve and handed it to Tai Shici, saying: "Ziyi, this thing is called a mask. It can isolate the disease to the greatest extent and avoid being infected. You should also wear it."
"Here!"
Taishi Ci took it and took it with him.
Although he was a little uncomfortable, he didn't have the slightest doubt about Lu Xuan's arrangement.
Taishi Ci took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, can masks be promoted on a large scale so that all soldiers can wear them?"
A look of approval flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes, and he looked at Zhou Tai beside him and ordered: "Youping, give all the masks we prepared on the way to Ziyi and ask him to arrange for people to make them. Next, hurry up and make a big show. Masks are made on a large scale and all soldiers in the army wear them to avoid mutual infection."
"Here!"
Taishi Ci looked excited.
With the king coming forward, this epidemic will definitely be suppressed.
Lu Xuan changed the topic and said, "Next, there are three things to arrange."
Tai Shi Ci said: "Please show me, Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "First, all sick soldiers must be isolated and live alone. All sick soldiers in isolation must wear masks to avoid cross-infection. The same applies to those who are treating them. All of them must wear masks. "
"Second, all clothes worn by patients must be boiled and disinfected when changing, and cannot be thrown away casually. Soldiers who died of illness are burned, and all used supplies are burned, leaving nothing behind. Places where patients have lived should be sprinkled with lime , all processed.”
"Third, the people in Suanzao County must also be under control. Once an epidemic occurs, the same isolation measures will be adopted. The manufactured masks will gradually be worn by the people to avoid further infection."
What Lu Xuan wants to do is to isolate, control, and further eliminate the pathogen.
There were no antibiotics in this era, and there were no evolved germs on the common people. There was no possibility of cultivating gu, and there would be no evolution from generation to generation. The current methods of isolation and boiling disinfection are very powerful measures.
This is due to the current environment.
Taishi Cidu wrote them down one by one and said: "Your Majesty, the last generals have all been written down. How should we treat them here, the Governor?"
Lu Xuan ordered: "Arrange for someone to invite Divine Doctor Zhang and ask him to assist."
"Here!"
Taishi Ci arranged for someone to inform him.
After a while, Zhang Zhongjing came in a hurry. When he saw Lu Xuan coming, he was also surprised by Lu Xuan's courage to come to Suanzao County in person despite the epidemic. However, Zhang Zhongjing was confused when he saw Lu Xuan wearing a mask.
Zhang Zhongjing asked: "What is the king wearing on his mouth?"
Lu Xuan explained the masks and also explained that the biggest transmission route of typhoid fever is through droplets. He asked Zhou Tai to bring another mask to Zhang Zhongjing and explained: "Mr. Zhang, the probability of being infected after wearing a mask is very high. Small. You can study this slowly and explore on your own."
Zhang Zhongjing nodded and said: "The king's wonderful idea, I will verify it. It's just that the governor's illness was too late to cure. I temporarily controlled the disease, but the disease entered the lungs and kept coughing, so it was impossible to cure it."
Lu Xuan looked calm and said: "This is the purpose of inviting Divine Doctor Zhang. Next, I want to extract the medicine to treat Gong Jin. Divine Doctor Zhang will assist me."
Zhang Zhongjing asked: "What medicine was extracted?"
"Allicin!"
Lu Xuan answered directly.
Anti-infective and anti-bacterial drugs, such as allicin and penicillin, have miraculous effects. Of course, penicillin is a miracle drug with the most powerful effects. If penicillin can be extracted, it can be called a life-saving weapon.
However, the extraction of penicillin seems simple, but it is actually very demanding. Not only is it difficult to purify, but it also depends on whether the patient is allergic and can withstand the effects of penicillin. The less purified the penicillin, the higher the patient's allergy rate.
Once allergic, it cannot be cured.
If this thing is not good, it will be the result of death from medication.
The extraction of penicillin requires too many experiments. Such drugs can only be used when the patient is in critical condition and is on the verge of death. Zhou Yu obviously cannot take risks here.
Therefore, Lu Xuan has not considered the extraction of penicillin for the time being. He needs to tell Zhang Zhongjing later and let Zhang Zhongjing continue to experiment.
Allicin is the gentlest and extraction is not so complicated.
The most important point is that people in this era are not like people in later generations who have taken too many medicines and developed drug resistance. People in this era did not take any western medicine, so allicin would have a great effect in the body.
This is Lu Xuan's confidence in saving Zhou Yu.
After Zhang Zhongjing listened, he was confused. He was a compiler of medical books and had even read through many medical books in ancient times. Because of Lu Xuan's help, countless doctors gathered in Shu County to brainstorm and compile the book.
Under this premise, Zhang Zhongjing has wider knowledge and knows more news, but he has never heard of allicin?
What's this?
Zhang Zhongjing had some doubts in his heart and asked: "Your Majesty, is the allicin you call possible? Which ancient book recorded it, and which famous doctor handed down the prescription?"
