With the arrival of the long winter, respiratory diseases in children have also begun to appear frequently, causing troubles for many families. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine the theories of Chinese medicine and ancient and modern prescriptions to introduce some methods and precautions for dealing with children's respiratory diseases.
First of all, respiratory diseases in children include colds, asthma, bronchitis, etc. These diseases are often caused by factors such as weak immunity, external cold stimulation, and viral and bacterial infections. In order to prevent and ** these diseases, parents should pay attention to the following:
First of all, it is very important to maintain indoor air circulation. In winter, when the weather is cold, people are often Xi to close doors and windows, resulting in low air humidity and poor indoor air circulation. Such an environment will affect children's respiratory health and easily induce respiratory diseases. Therefore, it is very important to properly open the windows for ventilation and keep the indoor air humidity constant.
Secondly, parents also need to pay attention to giving children a scientific and reasonable diet. Winter is the cold season, and in order to increase the temperature inside the body, some parents will give their children tonic and eat a lot of fatty food. However, too much fatty food can easily lead to the accumulation of heat evil, fire and other problems. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fire is also one of the important causes of respiratory diseases in children. Therefore, in terms of winter diet, you should prefer warm foods, such as jujubes, brown sugar, ginger soup, etc., to enhance the body's immunity.
In addition, proper exercise is also an important means of preventing respiratory diseases. In winter, the weather is cold, many people are afraid to go out for exercise, and there is a lack of space for exercise indoors. However, lack of exercise can easily lead to problems such as the accumulation of dampness in the body and the poor flow of qi and blood, which in turn affects the respiratory system of children. Therefore, parents should encourage their children to engage in appropriate outdoor activities, such as running, walking, etc., to maintain a good flow of qi and blood.
In terms of **, there are many ancient prescriptions of Chinese medicine that can be used for reference. For example, for common cold symptoms, you can try to use Chinese herbs such as forsythia, honeysuckle, etc., which have obvious antiviral and detoxifying effects. For diseases such as asthma and bronchitis, Chinese herbs such as grass coral, bitter almond can be used**. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine also pays attention to regulating qi and blood and regulating physical fitness, which can be individualized through traditional Chinese medicine fumigation, acupuncture and moxibustion.
In summary, the high incidence of respiratory diseases in children is closely related to factors such as cold weather in winter and decreased immunity. In terms of prevention and prevention, parents should pay attention to indoor air circulation, reasonable diet, appropriate exercise, and can learn from the ancient prescriptions and methods of traditional Chinese medicine. Maintaining good Xi and health is the key to preventing and improving respiratory diseases in children.
