Have you ever encountered such a situation: your child has a constant nasal discharge, nasal congestion, a dry and itchy throat, and is prone to colds?These symptoms not only affect children's school Xi and life, but may also bring certain health risks. What is going on with the Chinese medicine child's nasal discharge, nasal congestion, dry cough, and snoring that are prone to colds?
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that children are susceptible to colds and frequent respiratory symptoms may be related to external cold, spleen weakness, lung weakness, lung qi deficiency and other factors, let's find out.
Feeling the wind chill outside. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that external wind and cold in winter are the main cause of symptoms such as nasal congestion and nasal discharge. Wind chill can lead to nasal airway obstruction, causing symptoms such as nasal discharge and nasal congestion. In winter, children are susceptible to external wind and cold, especially in the head and neck area. When the wind and cold invade, it often weakens the body's ability to resist evil spirits, and the nasal airway is blocked, which can easily lead to nasal congestion, nasal discharge and other symptoms.
After the invasion of wind and cold, the normal qi in the nasal cavity will be blocked, resulting in poor flow of qi and blood, which will cause the nasal cavity to be damp and stagnant, resulting in an increase in nasal discharge, viscosity, and difficult to discharge. At the same time, wind chill can also easily cause airway contraction, resulting in congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa, and then nasal congestion.
Spleen weakness and weak lungs. In TCM, poor spleen and stomach function and weak constitution may cause children to be susceptible to colds and respiratory problems. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen is mainly used to transport the subtlety of the water valley, which is closely related to immunity. If the function of the spleen and stomach is not good, it is easy to lead to poor flow of qi and blood, which in turn affects the normal operation of the immune system and reduces the child's resistance.
Lack of lung qi. Spleen deficiency can also lead to a lack of yang qi in the body, which makes the lungs lose the opportunity to declare and descend, that is, the lungs lose their ability to clean and regulate the nasal airways. In this way, the child's nasal cavity is easily invaded by external evils and has symptoms of nasal congestion and increased nasal discharge. In addition, lung loss will also affect the normal operation of lung qi, and respiratory symptoms such as cough are prone to occur.
Traditional Chinese medicine** needs to start from the overall regulation of the child's body and improve the resistance to alleviate the symptoms. In winter, parents and friends can make some warm food for their children, avoid raw, cold and greasy food, and eat more healthy ingredients that are easy to digest, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc.
