Guo Xiang returned to the hospital after the national day.
Not long after she first went to work, a woman in her twenties came in with a child in her arms, with an anxious face.
"Doctor, can you show me what happened to my child?"
Guo Xiang saw that the child's face was yellow and even his neck was a little yellow. He hurriedly asked the woman to hold the child closer.
When I opened the child's eyelids, even the iris was a little yellow.
"This is neonatal jaundice. How old is the child?" Guo Xiang said.
"Just over a month." The woman said, "my co-workers who work with me also say they have jaundice, but they say they will be fine in a few days, but my child has been a month. Why hasn't he been well yet?"
"A month?" Guo Xiang held the child. The child was very small and looked like he had not been born for a few days. Generally, newborns have physiological jaundice. They don't use drugs. They can get better in a few days.
If the Yellow fades, the skin will turn white, but it's not normal to be so yellow for a month. It may be pathological jaundice.
Neonatal jaundice is that the blood bilirubin is too high and deposited in the skin and internal organs. It can be seen with the naked eye that the child's skin is yellow.
Physiological jaundice is very normal. Almost every newborn will have it. It appears 2-3 days after birth, reaches the peak in 4-6 days, and subsides in 7-10 days.
If jaundice occurs 24 hours after birth, the daily increase of serum bilirubin is more than 5mgdl or more than 0.5mgdl per hour, which lasts for a long time. Term infants are more than 2 weeks, premature infants are more than 4 weeks, and even continue to deepen or recur after regression, or jaundice begins within 1 week to several weeks after birth, they are all pathological jaundice.
"When did the child begin to yellow?" Asked Guo Xiang.
"My face turned a little yellow after birth. They said it was normal. I didn't care. Every day I hold my child to bask in the sun, but it's been a month. Not only is it not good, it's even more serious. "
"Doctor, is there something wrong with my son?" The woman said anxiously.
Guo Xiang nodded. "It should be pathological jaundice. It should be treated mainly by shining blue light."
"What light?" Women don't understand.
"It's a light emitted by a machine. Blue light can cure children's jaundice. But is your child premature? Why is it so light? " Guo Xiang weighed the child in his hand. A month is too small.
"Yes, I was born prematurely for more than a month. I may be tired." The woman's face was a little red. "I'm an outsider. I follow my man to work in the capital. It's on the construction site. My man is a cement worker. I help cook on the construction site..."
Guo Xiang nodded. Now there are large-scale construction and houses everywhere. I am also building a community after taking photos of my land. This woman and her husband may not do it on their own construction site.
"If you are pregnant, don't work so hard and don't go home to have children?" Guo Xiang sighed.
"Don't you want to make more money?" Women are a little embarrassed.
"The child was treated in the hospital, and he was so thin..." Guo Xiang took a thermometer to measure the child's body temperature. As a result, it was only 36 degrees, which was hypothermia.
"Is the child listless these two days?" Guo Xiang frowned.
"Yes, doctor, how do you know?" The woman asked strangely.
"The temperature is so low, you have to put it in an incubator!" Guo Xiang shook his head.
"What, what do you mean?" The woman's face changed. "Is my child in danger?"
Guo Xianggang wanted to say that the woman suddenly covered her stomach and shouted, "ah, my stomach hurts. I... Look like I'm going to have a baby..."
"What?" Guo Xiang was shocked. How could it be? Isn't it just a month old?
Even if you have a child in your life, it will take ten months to conceive another one. How can it be so fast?
Is it an illusion?
The woman herself was as like as two peas, but it felt like a son when she was born. Her stomach was in pain. It was like a labor pains.
"I... I can't do it. It hurts..." the woman covered her stomach and was about to fall down. Guo Xiang still held the child in his hand and couldn't help her. He quickly shouted, "come on, someone outside!"
Xu Wei was right next door. When he heard the cry, he ran over, "what's the matter, what's the matter?"
The woman had fallen down, and Guo Xiang hurriedly called, "come on, help her!"
The child had no place to put it, so he had to pick up the phone and call Pediatrics, "Dr. Qiao, there is a child here who is ill. Come here quickly."
Over there, Xu Wei helped the woman up, sat in a chair and asked, "is it going to have a baby?"
"How is that possible? She said, "I've only had a baby for a month. No, I still have the baby." Guo Xiang pointed to the child in his hand.
"Ah?" Xu Wei was also surprised, "then her stomach is so big that it looks like she hasn't been born yet?"
Guo Xiang noticed that a woman's stomach was really like pregnancy in October.
It's cold now. The woman is wearing a rustic cotton padded jacket, which is wide and big, so she didn't pay attention just now.
And the stomach does not retract after giving birth to a normal child. Some people will be like pregnant with a child of four or five months, but it is not normal to be so big.
"Is this child really yours? Do you really have a child born a month ago? " Guo Xiang suspected.
"It's true!" The woman nodded hard and couldn't stand the stomachache. "Doctor, my stomachache is so painful, I can't..."
"Impossible, impossible!" Xu Wei shook her head again and again. "Even twins can't regenerate every other month. It's usually a few minutes, up to an hour or two. How can they regenerate another one every other month? Unheard of! "
"But, doctor, I really... Ah..." the woman cried, "my stomach hurts. It really seems that I will have another baby..."
Dr. Qiao of Pediatrics rushed over, and Guo Xiang quickly handed her the child, "physiological jaundice, hypothermia, low weight preterm infants..."
With that, the pediatrician knows what to do.
"OK!" Dr. Joe took the child in a hurry.
Guo Xiang went to the woman, picked up the stethoscope and probed into the woman's stomach. It seemed that he really heard the fetal heart, although it was not very obvious.
Guo Xiang has a strange look on his face. How is it possible?
"Let me see!" Xu Wei said, also took a stethoscope, a listen, his face is also strange.
He touched it again and looked at Guo Xiang. "It seems that there is really a child!"
"Enter the delivery room immediately and push a B-ultrasound machine immediately!" Guo Xiang made a quick decision.
He called the midwife of Obstetrics and gynecology to push the woman into the delivery room. Xu Wei pushed the lighter B-ultrasound machine.
When I got to the delivery bed, I took off the woman's cotton padded clothes and opened the clothes. It was obvious that my big stomach was high and swollen, as if it had not been born yet.
Guo Xiang and Xu Wei looked at each other. To be honest, Guo Xiang had lived for two generations and had never encountered such a thing.
How is it possible that twins are born every other month?
Similar passages have appeared in the novels of some domineering presidents before. Guo Xiang scoffs at them. If you don't have medical knowledge, don't Scribble. Where are twins born every other month?
Didn't you expect to hit the face this time?
