Xu Qingyi knew in his heart that if he wanted to treat malaria, he had to find a drug that could kill the malaria parasite.However, it is not easy.In ancient times, people's knowledge of diseases was very limited, let alone the elusive disease of malaria."
Tsing Yi, do you have a cure for malaria?"
White Smoke asked."
Of course, there is, don't forget, artemisinin is a special treatment for malaria.""
Oh!
That's right!
How did I forget about artemisinin?
Tsing Yi, can you make artemisinin?
”Bai Yan remembered that she patted her head and said a little embarrassed."
Without the solvent to extract artemisinin, I can't make artemisinin.However, oral administration of Artemisia annua can also treat malaria, and when combined with other medicinal materials, although the effect is not as good as artemisin, it will not be much weaker.It's just a matter of taking the medicine for a longer period of time. ”Xu Qingyi explained."
Tsing Yi is good at this aspect, I'll leave it to you, then you hurry up and prepare medicinal materials, and cure these people of malaria as soon as possible, so that they can suffer less."
Also, there must be many people in this Youzhou City waiting for your prescription to treat this malaria.If the malaria disease in Youzhou City can be solved, Youzhou City will no longer die of malaria in the future, which can save many people, which is a matter of great merit. ”White Smoke urged.Xu Qingyi quickly prescribed three prescriptions, and by the way, he also drew two pictures.These three prescriptions, one is for the treatment of malaria, with Artemisia annua as the king's medicine, with Changshan, grass fruit, honeysuckle and other insecticidal and deworming herbs, drink this prescription, as short as seven days and ten days, as long as half a month can cure malaria.The other prescription is for patients who are weak and sick with malaria.On top of the original prescription, Xu Qingyi added a few more nourishing herbs to nourish the patient's body and prevent them from being too weak to support it in the process of treating malaria.The third prescription is Xu Qingyi's prescription for external fumigation to kill mosquitoes.Two drawings, one is a drawing of fabricated mosquito coils, and the other is a mosquito coil box.This mosquito coil box can be lit and placed inside, and then hung around the waist for herders to carry with them, so as to repel mosquitoes and protect them from mosquito bites.This design is both practical and convenient, allowing herders to enjoy peace and comfort while working in the wilderness.It can also reduce the chance of mosquito bites and subsequent malaria infection.Not long after Xu Qingyi prescribed the prescription, Laifu walked over to Xu Qingyi and the others with a booklet."
Doctor Xu, in this booklet, there is a record of the people who are infected with this disease, I have sorted it out, and comprehensively sorted the rules you said, the time is short, and I only have time to sort out a part, probably only a hundred people, I hope it will be useful to you."
Laifu handed the fold in his hand to Xu Qingyi and said."
I'll take a look."
Xu Qingyi took the fold, looked at ten lines, and read it quickly.Most of the people who were found to be sick were herders, and there were also a large number of red spots on their bodies that had been bitten by mosquitoes.The most important thing is that the fixed time, pulse and other conditions are the same as my own judgment, which further confirms that I am infected with malaria."
That's right, I have malaria.These three prescriptions.As soon as possible, the prescription was cooked and sent to them to take it, and the mosquito coil box and mosquito coil were also made as soon as possible. ”Xu Qingyi handed the recipe in his hand to Laifu and explained it to him."
Okay, I'll go."
After seeing that Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan had found the cause and treatment of the strange disease with a very high fatality rate in Youzhou City in a short period of time, Laifu showed great joy on his face.In this corner of Youzhou City, there are still many people who have this strange disease, not only in pain, but also in fear.However, if Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan could find the cause and treatment of this strange disease, it would be like a dawn, illuminating their hope.The merit is immeasurable, and it is a great thing to benefit the people of Youzhou City.But not long after Laifu left, he hurriedly ran back, and said to Xu Qingyi in a little anxious: "Doctor Xu, I just took the prescription you prescribed and grabbed the medicine for the house doctor, and found that the yellow artemisia in the prescription is not available in the house."
Can this herb be replaced by other medicines?
”"No, Artemisia annua is the most important main medicine for the treatment of this disease.If this herb is missing, the efficacy of this prescription will be greatly reduced. ”Xu Qingyi frowned slightly, she naturally knew the importance of this yellow artemisia, this herb can clear heat and detoxify, which is the key to treating malaria."
However, there is indeed no such medicinal herb in the storehouse of medicinal herbs."
Laifu looked embarrassed, he knew that although the medicinal materials in the house were rich, there was no such medicinal material as Artemisia annua.Artemisia annua contains artemisinin, which, in fact, is not Artemisia annua.Although there is a certain similarity between the two, they are different species, and the reason for this confusion is that the two are not only similar in appearance, but also similar in efficacy, so it causes the confusion above.Artemisinin can only be extracted from Artemisia annua, but not from Artemisia annua, to treat malaria."
There is no inside the palace, but there should be outside.I mean, there are fresh yellow artemisia growing on the savannah.I'll draw a drawing of Artemisia annua and give it to the local old people in Youzhou City to ask, especially the people who often go out to graze, they should have seen Artemisia annua. ”Xu Qingyi said, picked up a pen and paper, and began to trace the appearance of Artemisia annua.After half a ring, it was drawn and handed to Laifu.After Laifu got the drawings, he hurriedly asked the herdsman where he had seen the plants on the drawings drawn by Xu Qingyi."
Just these two strange diseases?
I thought it was some strange disease, but in less than a morning, it was easily solved by Tsing Yi you.Didn't I make a move?
”Seeing this, Bai Yan said very relaxedly."
Let's see if the prescription can cure the two diseases.If you want to go back, I'm afraid it's not so fast, and it will take a month to say the least.Also, if you want to cure the prince's mania, it can't be cured in a short time. ”When Xu Qingyi saw Bai Yan like this, she shook her head with a smile and said.Before coming to Youzhou City, Xu Qingyi was still worried that this strange disease was very tricky, but she didn't expect that after arriving in Youzhou City, she found that this strange disease was not difficult to treat, at least it was much better than expected.It's tricky, and it also has to be looked at.
