New Year's Day is healthy
Respiratory diseases are one of the very common problems in the growth of children. Because children's immune systems are not sound enough, they are susceptible to the invasion of external pathogens, which can cause various respiratory diseases. And among these diseases, there is a special condition called "co-infection", that is, the phenomenon of simultaneous infection of two or more pathogens. This condition not only complicates the disease, but can also trigger a range of complications. Therefore, the modern medical community calls for attention to early differential diagnosis in order to carry out it in a targeted manner**.
Co-infection refers to the coexistence of multiple different pathogens during the same respiratory tract infection. These pathogens can be microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria, which interact with each other and promote each other, making the condition of the disease more complex. Among the respiratory tract infections common in children, co-infections are particularly common. Common pathogens include influenza virus, adenovirus, mycoplasma, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and many more. Once these pathogens are co-infected, they can lead to severe disease and may cause serious complications such as pneumonia and otitis media.
Ancient Chinese medicine has unique insights and methods for respiratory diseases. According to the experience of ancient prescriptions, TCM believes that co-infection is caused by an imbalance of yin and yang within the human body. Among them, yin deficiency and fire, phlegm and dampness accumulation, and lung loss are the most common pathogenesis. In terms of quality, traditional Chinese medicine mainly adjusts the balance of yin and yang in the human body, removes phlegm and dampness, and promotes the lungs, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing mixed infection.
Among the ancient famous prescriptions, there are many effective prescriptions for respiratory diseases. For example, pediatric cough suppressant powder is one of the most effective remedies for regulating the respiratory tract. Its combination of medicines includes raw gypsum, almonds, mulberry bark and other Chinese herbal medicines, which can clear away heat and phlegm, relieve cough and asthma. In addition, bellflower soup is also a common prescription for mixed infections in children. Among them, the combination of drugs such as bellflower, forsythia, and radix radix has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, dissolving phlegm and draining pus, which can effectively alleviate the condition. The efficacy of these ancient formulas has been verified by thousands of years of practice, and has been improved by modern research, which is more suitable for the needs of modern children with mixed infection.
In addition to prescriptions, TCM also focuses on regulating children's diet and lifestyle habits to enhance physical fitness and improve immunity. In the daily diet, pay attention to providing children with nutritious foods, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, to increase the child's immunity. In addition, the diet should be light, try to eat less spicy and stimulating food, and avoid eating cold and too greasy food, so as not to help dampness and phlegm, and hurt yang qi. In addition, adjust the work and rest time reasonably, ensure adequate sleep, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid colds.
In conclusion, co-infection with common respiratory pathogens in children is a disease that needs attention. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique theories and experiences in this disease, and improves the disease state by adjusting the balance of yin and yang, removing phlegm and dampness, and promoting the lungs. At the same time, reasonable diet and living habits are also important measures to prevent co-infection with children. We should pay attention to early differential diagnosis and take corresponding methods in time to reduce the occurrence of complications and protect the health of the child's respiratory system.
