Chapter 917 Flu
Zhou Ziwen frowned when he heard these situations.
This heavy rain suddenly exposed many problems in the village.
He said to Wu Dagang: "Uncle Wu, we must organize the villagers to rescue themselves as soon as possible. First, clean up the damaged houses to ensure that everyone has a place to live."
Wu Dagang nodded, "Yes, I have asked the villagers to clean up on their own first. When the weather clears, we will make unified arrangements for repairs."
Zhou Ziwen thought for a while and then said: "We also need to check the drainage system in the village. This heavy rain exposed many problems. If they are not solved, the losses will be even greater next time we encounter similar weather."
"You're right. I've asked a few young and strong guys to check and see where there are blockages and clean them up in time." Wu Dagang replied.
After chatting with Wu Dagang for a while, Zhou Ziwen didn't stay too long and returned home in the rain.
Although he wasn't afraid of rain or cold, he didn't feel good when he got wet.
After Zhou Ziwen returned home, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi hurriedly greeted him.
Seeing how wet he was, Chen Shiying said distressedly: "Ziwen, go change your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and walked into the room to change clothes.
After changing his clothes, he went to the kitchen and saw that Chen Shiying had prepared hot water and food.
He sat at the table and talked to the two sisters about the situation in the village while eating.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi were also very worried after hearing this.
After the meal, Zhou Ziwen came to the door of the house. It was still raining heavily outside, and the scenery outside was obscured by the rain curtain.
Fortunately, the mushroom cultivation base and pig farm are both newly built, and most of the buildings are also made of stone.
A little heavy rain is nothing to worry about.
The newly dug digester may have water accumulation problems.
He decided to wait for the rain to stop and go to the biogas tank to check the situation.
Zhou Ziwen originally thought that nothing would happen today.
As a result, not long after dinner, Zhu Jianguo came over.
"Jianguo, why are you here? Are you encountering a problem?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Ziwen, many people in the village have caught colds today. I think this situation is a bit abnormal and I want you to go and have a look." Zhu Jianguo felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, he can also cure ordinary minor colds, but he can't do anything about more difficult ones.
"Let's go take a look." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Because of the heavy rain, the temperature outside dropped, and the villagers were a little unresponsive. It was normal to catch a cold.
Of course, after listening to Zhu Jianguo's description, he suspected it was the flu.
If it's the flu, you'll be in trouble. The flu is contagious, and if you're not careful, you may infect more people.
This time, because the situation was not urgent, Zhou Ziwen found an umbrella in the house and went to the clinic with Zhu Jianguo.
When they arrived at the health room, there were already some villagers with colds gathered here. Everyone was sitting or standing, coughing one after another.
As soon as Zhou Ziwen arrived at the clinic, the villagers gathered around him one by one.
"Ziwen, please help me quickly. I have a headache. I've been hurting all night and I'm still coughing."
"Ziwen, me too, help me take a look too."
"And me, I cough..."
……
"Don't be anxious, everyone, come one by one." Zhou Ziwen pressed his hand to signal everyone to quiet down. Zhou Ziwen began to check the health of the villagers one by one.
He first checked the villagers' tongue coatings and throats, then touched their foreheads, and carefully asked about the time and severity of the symptoms.
For villagers with severe headaches, he prescribed medicine to relieve headaches and told them to take rest and avoid fatigue.
For villagers with obvious cough symptoms, he also prescribed cough medicine according to the nature of the cough. He also reminded everyone to drink more hot water and keep the respiratory tract moist.
In the process of diagnosing and treating the villagers, Zhou Ziwen felt more and more that the cold situation was a bit complicated and that the flu was more likely.
While conducting diagnosis and treatment, he emphasized the importance of preventing infection to the villagers, asking everyone to avoid going out as much as possible, pay attention to personal hygiene, and maintain indoor ventilation.
After treating the villagers in the clinic, Zhou Ziwen felt that it was necessary to discuss with Wu Dagang to prevent the occurrence of influenza in advance.
"Jianguo, this illness of the folks should be influenza. I will prescribe a prescription. See if the medicinal materials here are enough. I will go to Uncle Wu later and ask him to notify the folks to come and take medicine to prevent it."
Zhu Jianguo took the prescription, carefully checked the required medicinal materials, and then searched in the medicine cabinet in the health room.
While he was looking for it, he said to Zhou Ziwen: "Ziwen, we have most of the medicinal materials, but the quantity of some medicines is not enough."
"What kind of medicinal materials are missing? Let me see if I can change the recipe." Zhou Ziwen asked.
His medical skills are very good, and it is not difficult to change the prescription to have similar effects.
Zhu Jianguo pointed to the herbs on the prescription and said: "The main reason is that the quantity of honeysuckle and forsythia is not enough. The other herbs are barely enough, but they may not be enough for all the villagers."
Zhou Ziwen thought for a moment and said: "Honeysuckle and forsythia are both commonly used medicines for clearing away heat and detoxifying, and are very important for preventing influenza."
"We can first prepare some of the existing medicinal materials according to the prescription and give them to villagers with severe symptoms. At the same time, I will think about other alternative methods."
He carefully checked the existing medicinal materials in the health room and found that there were some herbs with similar effects. Although the effect may not be as good as honeysuckle and forsythia, they can also be used as substitutes in this case.
"Jianguo, we can use these herbs to replace some of the honeysuckle and forsythia and prepare the medicine first.
Zhu Jianguo nodded hurriedly and wrote down the prescription mentioned by Zhou Ziwen.
"Okay, let's do this first! I'll go find Uncle Wu and ask him to inform the folks."
Seeing that Zhu Jianguo could handle it alone, Zhou Ziwen nodded and prepared to leave.
Zhou Ziwen picked up his umbrella, walked out of the clinic, and walked quickly towards the village committee.
He still knows Wu Dagang very well.
So many things happened today, he was either outside or at the village committee, and he would definitely not stay at home anyway.
Although the rain had weakened, the sky was still gloomy and covered with dark clouds. Zhou Ziwen walked on the muddy road and soon arrived at the village committee.
After arriving at the village committee, Zhou Ziwen found Wu Dagang and told him about the villagers' illnesses and his own worries.
"Uncle Wu, this situation may be more serious than we thought. I suspect it is influenza. This disease spreads quickly. We must take measures as soon as possible."
When Wu Dagang heard Zhou Ziwen's words, his expression became solemn.
"Ziwen, what do you think we should do?"
Zhou Ziwen thought for a while and then said: "First of all, we need to let the villagers come to the health room to receive preventive medicine."
"Especially those who already have symptoms should be treated as soon as possible."
"Secondly, we want to remind villagers to pay attention to personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, and avoid going to crowded places."
In fact, influenza is not a serious disease. If it can be prevented in advance, it can be easily solved.
