Parents with children think it would be better to have a pediatrician at home, so they don’t have to worry about their children when they are ill.
However, when doctors face their children’s illness, they are under unexpected pressure.
A war with his wife and mother-in-law,
Day 1
When her daughter was less than one year old, one day she suddenly had a fever and her body temperature quickly jumped to more than 39 degrees. At ordinary times, she was lovely and suddenly depressed. Her little face was red and she fell asleep in the arms of adults. The family immediately became nervous.
Although he was a pediatric surgeon, what could cope with the general diarrhea and cold. He ordered her to be fed more water and to drink ibuprofen if the fever was too high.
The next day
The child still shows no signs of improvement. If she does not take antipyretic drugs, her body temperature will basically remain above 38.5. Once she takes antipyretic drugs, her body temperature will drop, and she will have the spirit to play again. As soon as the drug effect drops, her body temperature will go up again.
I closely watched her condition. Fortunately, except for fever, everything was fine and she could eat and sleep. But the family was a little overwhelmed.
Mother-in-law said
Children can’t burn like this all the time. They will burn their brains out. They can’t always get some medicine to eat at home. They should go to the hospital for an injection.
His wife also said nervously
You are a surgeon yourself, and you don’t see much of your child’s fever. Go to a physician.
However, they took turns bombing and had no choice but to take them to a physician. The doctor looked at them and said that the throat was not red and the lungs sounded fine. It should still be a virus infection. He explained to them that there would be a process of fever and then continued to observe.
Hearing such words, my family felt much more calm. Although I have said these words countless times at home, it seems that the physician’s saying them once is worth saying them ten times.
Day 3
Although the child was still burning, the blood was also checked, the physician also saw it, and the family had a peaceful day.
Day 4
The child still had a high fever, and the child’s grandmother could no longer calm down. She said that she could not drag it on any longer and must take the child to have an injection.
I said to be patient, although the child is burning, but other conditions are fine, many virus infections will burn for 3 to 5 days, injections can’t solve the what problem. But she saw the child’s fever, what has not listened to. After a quarrel, I insisted not to go to the hospital on the grounds that I have custody of the child, just didn’t sign the consequences.
Day 5
The child still has a high fever. The mother and grandmother of the child have stopped talking to me. In their eyes, I seem to have been a sinner who destroyed my child.
I did not waver myself, Because watching the child still has no other symptoms of what, I firmly believe that there will be an end to fever. Sure enough, I haven’t taken antipyretics yet. At noon, the child’s body temperature gradually dropped and it was normal in the afternoon. Then the whole body appeared a large rash, which was caused by fever and rash. Children’s rash was a self-limited disease caused by virus infection. I breathed a sigh of relief.
The child’s mother stopped speaking, and the child’s grandmother said faintly, “I didn’t expect the child’s rash to burn so badly.”
A little sense
Looking back, they are all one family. Everyone’s wish is definitely to hope the child is good. It is impossible for anyone to have what selfishness on the issue of the child’s illness. The family should have had close trust. However, there are differences in the understanding and judgment of the disease among the three people, so there are still differences and contradictions.
Because of nervousness and worry, there will be doubts among family members, not to mention between doctors and patients who are strangers.
For ordinary people who do not have any medical knowledge, in addition to learning some conventional treatment methods and consulting pediatrician friends around them, they should still see a doctor when they are not sure.
When you get to the hospital, you can not only refuse the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the doctor, but also trust the doctor.
Because in any case, On medical issues, doctors who have received professional training know more than you. Although they may not be perfect in details, the general direction will not be too wrong. After all, the hospital is still under supervision. What’s more, according to the doctor’s plan, if there is a problem, someone will be responsible. If you choose a problem, you can only swallow tears into your stomach.
