Chapter 1769: Chapter 1707: Allergy
Wufu is comforting the crying Changsheng, watching him cry so hard that his small body starts convulsing, feeling extremely anxious.
"Jadeite is here."
Wufu quickly looks towards Jadeite, seeing her carrying a bowl of steaming hot liquid, couldn’t help but ask, "Jadeite, what’s wrong with Changsheng."
She looks at the tray Jadeite is holding, and inside, it’s not medicine, but the mung bean soup commonly drunk in summer.
"This?"
Jadeite puts down the tray and says, "The young master isn’t poisoned. I suspect there’s a problem with that bowl of goat milk. I’ve added medicinal powder that stops diarrhea to this mung bean soup, the mung bean water can detoxify poisons, let’s try it first."
But Wufu grabs her hand: "Changsheng is very young, can he drink it?"
Since his birth in late November, now it’s April already, Changsheng is almost half a year old, but because of his frail body, he looks just like he’s only three months old.
"It’s okay, the dosage is very small."
Wufu listens and then lets go of her hand, watching Jadeite carefully feed the soup medicine into the child’s mouth with a small silver spoon.
Xiao Changsheng cries and doesn’t want to drink, everyone is extremely anxious.
"Can the wet nurse drink it and pass it to him through the milk?" Wufu asks.
"Miss, the dosage is already small, I’m afraid it won’t work," Jadeite replies.
Wufu remains silent: "Keep feeding."
She watches the child cry and convulse, the liquid entering his throat and choking him, tears and mucus flowing, making her heart ache.
"Where’s that goat milk?" Wufu looks at the red rash on Changsheng’s face, it doesn’t seem like poisoning, it looks more like an allergy.
Someone brings over the remaining bowl of goat milk.
Wufu picks it up intending to taste it, but Purple Jade quickly stops her: "Miss, be cautious of poison inside."
"There’s none, I’ve tasted it," Jadeite replies hurriedly.
Wufu takes a sip, the faint taste of milk mixed with a hint of almond flavor.
"The doctor is here."
Hua Wushuang enters with a young doctor.
Everyone quickly makes way for the young man to diagnose, Wufu watches closely without blinking.
"Doctor Wan, how is it?" Hua Wushuang asks nervously.
Doctor Wan has already taken the pulse, looked at the eyelids, performed full diagnosis, and says, "It doesn’t look like poisoning, but rather discomfort from eating the wrong thing."
"Is it an allergy?" Wufu interjects and thinks, then applies a bit of goat milk to Xiao Changsheng’s hand.
Doctor Wan is somewhat curious about this term: "Allergy?"
Wufu hesitates, realizing perhaps there’s no such term in this era’s medicine, then says, "Well, it’s just what you described as discomfort from eating the wrong thing, like he can’t eat certain things, once eaten, this problem arises."
"That’s called food intolerance," Doctor Wan says, "It’s not uncommon, like some people can’t eat peaches, or can’t touch flowers, etc."
That’s exactly what an allergy is!
"Miss, look," Jadeite points to the hand where the goat milk was applied, and there a rash has appeared again.
"It seems to be an intolerance to this goat milk," Doctor Wan says, checking the pulse again.
"It’s hard to say, there’s also the almond flavor inside," Wufu tells Doctor Wan, "Please prescribe the medicine first, my brother is born weak, please make the medicine as gentle as possible."
Doctor Wan nods, sits aside, and carefully writes a prescription, Wufu shows it to Jadeite, seeing her nod, then says, "You go fetch and brew the medicine yourself."
Jadeite nods and leaves.
Wufu instructs Purple Jade: "Prepare some goat milk without any almond mixture, and bring over the almond powder," seeing Doctor Wan and Hua Wushuang look curious, she adds, "We need to eliminate the allergen."
Otherwise, next time if he accidentally ingests something causing the allergy again, it could lead to trouble.
