Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1194

During this process, he also obtained some medical books, of course, not those professional books that were like hieroglyphics.

Just some general and common sense medical manuals, as well as relevant popular science knowledge about various antibiotics.

Nowadays, the Imperial Medical Service is able to extract penicillin, so Wei Wu has read the knowledge in this area carefully.

Doctor Xu, who was originally happy because penicillin could extend its shelf life, was surprised again when he heard this.

"Can penicillin be tested? If so, that would be great. This miracle drug could save more people!"

"Hurry up, teach me how to test!"

Seeing Doctor Xu's anxious look, Wei Wu couldn't help laughing, and then he said slowly:

"Don't worry, Old Xu. I was planning to tell you this anyway. You'll know soon."

"it is good!"

Doctor Xu nodded immediately, but then he frowned again.

"But we don't have penicillin. Even though the Imperial Hospital has prepared some, it will take at least four days."

"It's okay, I have it here!"

Wei Wu waved his hand, then took out a box of amoxicillin capsules directly from the system warehouse.

Then Wei Wu turned to look at Xu Yungong and said:

"Ask the servants at home to prepare a basin of hot water."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Xu Yungong responded, then turned and walked out of the room. Soon a basin of hot water was brought over.

After the servants left, Xu Yungong came to the basin and looked at Wei Wu, waiting for his next instructions.

Just at this time Wei Wu also spoke.

"Use a towel to apply a warm compress to the thinnest and tenderest part of Mr. Xu's inner forearm to promote local blood circulation."

Xu Yungong did not hesitate at all and immediately followed Wei Wu's instructions, and Wei Wu did not stop either.

While Xu Yungong was giving Xu Da a hot compress, he opened an amoxicillin capsule and then took out a brand new ear pick.

I scooped out about a few dozen grains of powder from the capsule, and then used a drop of water to dissolve the powder into a paste.

After he finished the preparations, he signaled Xu Yungong to remove the towel and then applied the paste.

Then he took out a small piece of clean gauze and covered the paste, then turned to look at Doctor Xu and said:

"To be on the safe side, testing for penicillin allergy can be divided into three steps and tried one by one."

"First, apply penicillin to the surface of the skin, where it's thinnest and most tender, such as the inside of your forearm or behind your ear."

"Then wait for about an incense stick of time. If a rash, hives, or obvious itching and swelling appears locally, it means the result is positive."

"This means the person is allergic, but if there is no change after applying the test, it means they are not allergic and the result is negative."

Doctor Xu did not hesitate at all for this kind of knowledge that concerned human life. He took out a pen and paper and started recording.

This was also a good habit that was forced upon Doctor Xu and other doctors by Wei Wu's many visits to the Imperial Medical Service.

Others, including Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, had no idea what the two were saying, but they did not interrupt.

Time passed slowly, and soon an incense stick of time had passed. Wei Wu came to Xu Da and reached out to remove the gauze.

As Wei Wu removed the gauze, Doctor Xu also came over and stretched his head to observe carefully.

When the gauze was removed, there was no significant change in the area on the inside of Xu Da's forearm where the medicine had been applied.

So Doctor Xu turned to Wei Wu and asked.

"So, does that mean I'm not allergic to penicillin?"

Hearing this, Wei Wu shook his head and explained:

"I can't be sure. Didn't I just say that? Testing for penicillin allergy can be done in three steps."

"After all, this thing can kill people, so we start with the surface of the skin. Only after confirming that there is no problem can we move on to the second step."
