Chapter 901: Eight hundred ninety-nine, smallpox
Little sister pouted her lips. She was not like those other children; she would not cry.
The Guard’s Wife saw little sister’s blinking bright eyes, looking obediently at her, and felt even more affection, joking with her for a bit before looking towards Luo Shu and saying: "Sister-in-law Lu, you must be careful when you take the children out for a walk these days. The child from Centurion Fang’s Household has contracted smallpox, and it’s contagious."
"Isn’t he isolated?" Luo Shu asked, surprised.
So far, there is no confirmed effective treatment for smallpox. Patients infected with smallpox must be strictly isolated until they recover, and the isolation period must not be less than 40 days from the onset of the disease. Their clothing, utensils, respiratory secretions, and vesicular exudates need to be strictly disinfected, and people who have come into contact with the patient should be vaccinated immediately.
"He has been isolated. The child is just over two years old, and he looks very pitiable." The Guard’s Wife shook her head and sighed, suddenly remembering Luo Shu was skilled in medicine, she asked: "Sister-in-law Lu, aren’t you skilled in medicine? Could you cure that child?"
"I need to see the patient to know," Luo Shu said. Now, she could even revive the dead; naturally, smallpox would not be too difficult for her.
"Why don’t we go and have a look?" the Guard’s Wife suggested. They were all mothers, and if it were their children who were infected with smallpox, wouldn’t they be anxious to death? If Sister-in-law Lu could cure it, they, as Guard’s Wives, wouldn’t need to be on tenterhooks daily, worrying about their children getting infected.
Luo Shu glanced at her own children and said to the Guard’s Wife: "Wait a moment for me, I’ll first send the children back."
