Chapter 1190
That is sepsis or septic shock caused by severe bacterial infection, which can still be rescued before it deteriorates completely.
It’s just that Wei Wu didn’t study medicine. He only looked up information on this subject because of Zhu Biao before he traveled through time.
He didn't even look at the tumor because it is a major medical problem even in modern society.
He had carefully examined the remaining three and had a general idea of the treatment methods and what medicines should be used.
But the most difficult part here is not the medicine but the surgery. Necrotizing fasciitis is a disease that cannot be cured by medicine alone.
A major surgical operation is required, so Wei Wu said that the success rate is less than 10%, which is basically zero.
The other two diseases are much simpler. They only require incision of the abscess for drainage, followed by medication.
Diabetes is a little more difficult because of the low immunity, and the wounds are difficult to heal, but there is still some hope.
What Wei Wu hoped for most were these two, no, it should be said that the result he hoped for most was acute cellulitis or carbuncle.
After all, the symptoms caused by diabetes require strict blood sugar control and intensive insulin treatment during treatment.
Moreover, even if it is acute cellulitis or carbuncle, it is best not to be too serious and develop into necrotizing fasciitis.
So before that, Wei Wu had to first understand what disease caused Xu Da's back carbuncle, so he turned directly to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Uncle Zhu, please send someone to the Imperial Hospital to find Doctor Xu. If we want to treat Uncle Xu, we need his help."
"Also, ask Doctor Xu to bring the blood glucose monitor I gave him earlier and test Mr. Xu first."
This blood glucose monitor was included in the midwifery tools prescribed by Wei Wu last time. It is specially used for blood glucose monitoring in pregnant women.
As we all know, blood sugar levels in pregnant women are very important examination items, which directly affect the risk of fetal development and delivery.
As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately turned to look at Xu Yungong.
"Yun Gong, have your servants go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Xu Shu to drop everything and come as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xu Yungong did not dare to hesitate. He nodded in response and turned around to make arrangements. He came back not long after.
It happened that at this time, Wei Wu was asking about Xu Da's condition in the early stage of his illness.
"Mr. Xu, when you first discovered you were ill, were you clear about the specific circumstances behind your illness?"
"For example, what are the initial symptoms? The skin is red, swollen, hot, and painful, with unclear boundaries, and it spreads rapidly to the surrounding area."
"Or is it redness, swelling, tightness, and a shiny appearance, followed by the rapid development of purple-red spots, blisters, and even skin ulceration and blackening?"
Hearing this, Xu Da lowered his head and recalled for a while before slowly speaking:
"At first it was red, swollen, hot and painful. I couldn't feel any clear boundaries, and it kept spreading."
Hearing Xu Da's answer, Wei Wu raised his eyebrows. This symptom is consistent with the early manifestations of acute cellulitis!
In order to further clarify the specific situation, Wei Wu asked again.
"So how is the disease progressing? Is it slow, or is it very rapid, worsening rapidly within a few hours?"
"It wasn't just a few hours. From the initial redness and swelling to when it got worse, it took many days."
Upon hearing this, Wei Wu nodded slowly, then looked at Xu Da, wondering what to say next.
Xu Da saw Wei Wu's expression and guessed that he might have some concerns, so he spoke directly:
"No matter how sick you are, just tell me what you have to say. Don't worry too much."
Since Xu Da said so, Wei Wu no longer hesitated and spoke directly:
"Uncle Xu, could you please take off your shirt so I can check your back?"
This time, before Xu Da could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first.
