“Then you should go home, let Uncle Yonghe take the trouble to go to the doctor. While on it, tell the physician how Aunt Wen had an argument with her family during the day and was upset. It’s possible the high fever has something to do with that.”

Zhuang Qingning said.

“Alright,” Zhuang Mingliang agreed, first went to the tofu company to inform the others about it, then hurried home to tell Zhuang Yonghe to fetch the doctor.

Zhuang Qingning continued to physically reduce Mrs. Wen’s fever, working so hard that her nose was covered in sweat.

When she was applying another damp cloth, Zhuang Qingning paused for a moment.

Physical cooling is mostly used during mild fever. Mrs. Wen has a high fever, so physical cooling might not be much effective. Even if the doctor were to come and prepare a decoction of medicinal herbs to reduce the fever, it would likely be slow. Furthermore, the medical skills of the local doctors in the village might not be too competent…

Zhuang Qingning thought for a moment, sent Zhuang Qingsui out to fetch another basin of cold water, and secretly called Xiaowu out.

Are there fever-reducing medicines in the mall?

Previously, she remembered that Xiaowu had mentioned the mall had all sorts of items and could even do custom orders. Yet, advanced technology items within the mall that could disrupt the balance of this era were not allowed for sale.

But now, she was not planning to sell anything; she wanted to save lives. It should be permissible.

[Yes, there is a fast-acting fever-reducing medicine. It’s as effective as ibuprofen in the modern society. And since it’s a system product, it does not have any side effects of common fever-reducing medicines. It’s highly effective, safe, and reliable.]

[However, the price… Using it this time to reduce the fever will almost drain all of your diligence points that you have now. Are you sure you want to redeem it?]

Absolutely certain.

Diligence points can be earned again, but this person needs to be treated right now.

[Alright, as you wish.]

As soon as Xiaowu finished speaking, a small porcelain vase appeared in Zhuang Qingning’s hand. She opened it and saw that inside were granules similar to the ibuprofen commonly used for fever reduction in the modern society.

“Sister, the water is here.” Zhuang Qingsui came in with the wooden basin, wiping the sweat from her forehead. “How is Aunt Wen doing?”

“Same as before.” Zhuang Qingning clutched the small porcelain vase tightly in her hand. As she was pouring warm water into the teacup, she poured the granules from the medicine bottle into it. She then pretended to shake the cup to cool it down, mixing the granules evenly.

“Come, help me prop Aunt Wen up. Let her drink some warm water. With such a high fever, if she doesn’t drink more water, her body might not be able to bear it.”

“Okay.” Zhuang Qingsui quickly went to the bedside and helped Zhuang Qingning prop up Mrs. Wen. She then woke Mrs. Wen up and gave her the teacup while she was still somewhat conscious.

Although Mrs. Wen was somewhat confused due to the fever, her throat was so dry from the high fever that she could barely stand it. As soon as her lips touched the water, she gulped down the medicated water, mixed with antipyretic, in the teacup.

Zhuang Qingning helped Mrs. Wen lay down again, secretly replaced the water in the cup with hot water, rinsed it, and poured the water on the ground.

Having taken the antipyretic, she only needed to continue with physical cooling. Once Mrs. Wen began to sweat, the fever should be able to subside for the time being.
