In recent years, fever has become more common among children in kindergartens and schools, especially in winter. According to statistics, this fever occurs about 2 to 3 times per season. So, why is this phenomenon so frequent?Do we need to worry?As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions to answer these questions for you.
First, let's understand the perspective of Chinese medicine. TCM believes that the health of the human body is closely related to changes in the external environment. Winter is a cold and dry season, and the body's yang energy is relatively weak, and the resistance will decrease accordingly. In addition, the cold weather makes the pores of the human body shrink, and it is easy to be invaded by the cold evil from the outside world. All of these factors can cause children to have a fever in winter.
So, why is this situation reversed?Traditional Chinese medicine believes that children's physique is not yet fully developed, their resistance is weak, and they are easily affected by changes in the external environment. In addition, kindergartens and schools are collective environments, and viruses and bacteria are relatively easy to spread, so once children have fever symptoms, it is easy to spread to other children, forming a chain reaction of fever.
Now that we know the reasons for this, how do we deal with it?Traditional Chinese medicine has some classic methods and regimens. First of all, we can use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate children's physique and enhance resistance. For example, traditional Chinese medicines such as astragalus and ginseng can help children improve their immunity and prevent fever. In addition, TCM also recommends maintaining a suitable indoor temperature and humidity, and avoiding excessive heating or air conditioning. Drinking plenty of warm water and eating some warm foods, such as ginger, red dates, longan, etc., can keep the yang energy in the body from attacking.
In addition to traditional Chinese medicine** and wellness regimens, there are also ancient Chinese medicine remedies that can relieve symptoms in the event of a fever. For example, honeysuckle and Lianzhou calamus can clear away heat and detoxify, and mulberry leaves and Huoxiang Zhengqi water can relieve symptoms such as cough and fever. These ancient formulas have been proven for thousands of years to be effective against infectious diseases and fever.
Of course, when dealing with the problem of fever in children, we cannot ignore the advice of modern medicine. If a child has a high fever, persistent fever, or other significant symptoms, they should seek medical attention. At the same time, it is also very important to maintain good hygiene and eating habits, such as frequent hand washing, frequent ventilation, and balanced nutrition.
To sum up, children in kindergarten and school are prone to 2 to 3 fevers in winter, which is related to factors such as cold and dry environments, weak children's physique, and the spread of the virus. Through traditional Chinese medicine**, health regimens and ancient prescriptions, we can strengthen children's immunity and prevent fever. At the same time, we should also seek medical attention and maintain good hygiene habits to reduce the risk of fever. I hope you will be able to understand this knowledge and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
