Chapter 206: 【205】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 56 (Second Update)

"Cough, cough, cough..." a series of severe coughs came from the room.

Yaya, who was standing next to her, explaining about the family, suddenly snapped to attention.

"Bad news, Grandma has started coughing again. Sister, wait for a moment, I’ll go check on her."

Yaya pulled down a piece of cloth from the windowsill, covered her mouth and nose with it, and hurriedly rushed into the room.

Xiao Yu, who was there to treat the elderly, naturally wasn’t here to spectate, so she took out a cloth from her "space," wrapped it around her mouth and nose like a mask, and walked into the hall. What hit her immediately was the strong smell of medicine, along with some other, less pleasant odors.

She frowned, heading toward the room, from which the coughing was incessantly coming. Yaya, hearing footsteps, turned around in surprise.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"I told you, I came to treat Grandma. Have you forgotten?"

"But Grandma’s disease is contagious."

"I know. Just move aside and let me check on her. Also, we shouldn’t keep this room so tightly shut all the time. Since there are windows, let’s open them for a bit to ventilate, so the air can circulate and prevent germs from lingering inside the house, understand?"

Yaya’s eyes welled up with tears, she hastily made room and explained.

"I understand, sister. I will open the windows shortly. But now, Grandma is coughing up blood and thick phlegm,"

Xiao Yu wasn’t a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so there was no need for pulse-taking, instead she checked the old lady’s eyes and asked about her symptoms in detail.

She found that the Old Lady not only had fever, cough, and night sweats, but also symptoms of hemoptysis and breathing difficulties, indicating that her condition was indeed severe.

Traditional Chinese medicine is slow in showing results. Even deploying medicine might not be able to save her, especially since the Old Lady was already barely moving or conscious.

Fortunately, her "space" possessed drugs specifically for treating tuberculosis, such as streptomycin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and rifampicin, capable of maximally controlling the spread of the virus thus serving an antibacterial and antimicrobial purpose.

Xiao Yu turned to Yaya, "Grandma’s diet should avoid spicy foods, seafood, alcohol, and tobacco. Do you know that?"

"I know, the previous doctor mentioned it too. I’ve never dared to give these things to Grandma. But there isn’t much at home for her to eat. She’s just enduring every day. It’s my fault, if only I could do more work. Then Grandma wouldn’t have to,"

"I have a few kilograms of millet here. Hurry and cook a pot of millet porridge for Grandma. I’ll take care of things here."

Xiao Yu took a few millets from her bag and handed it to Yaya, who looked at her with tearful gratitude.

"Sister, how can I ever thank you?"

"Don’t mention it, just go."

"Thank you, sister. From now on, you’re Yaya’s real elder sister. I’d work like an ox or horse just to repay your kindness."

Yaya knelt down with a thud and bowed her head before her, then turned and ran off to make the soup.

As soon as Yaya had left, Xiao Yu shook her head helplessly and quickly took the medicine out of her "space" and administered a small shot to the old lady.

Then she mixed up some Western medicines, which in this era without antibiotics, would surely work much faster on the old lady than they would in later times.

Western medicine treatment might even involve chemotherapy, but without such facilities here, she planned to use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine for this disease.

She was able to purchase ready-made Traditional Chinese Medicine packs from her "space" to administer to the old lady. With the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, she should recover very quickly.

In fact, tuberculosis isn’t to be feared as it can be cured, but the disease duration can be quite lengthy, and it’s quite easy to infect others during this period, so people are very wary of it.

The Old Lady’s state was already very confused, it was unclear whether she was suffering from hunger or the strain of the illness. Even after Xiao Yu had administered the shot, she seemed not to have reacted much. After tidying up for the old lady, Xiao Yu carried the medicine pack out and handed it to Yaya, "Do you know how to prepare the medicine?"
