There are many reasons behind recurrent coughing, which can be summarized simply, and there are three common ones:
1. During the cough period, there is no good care.
Second, the child's spleen and lungs are weak, qi and blood are insufficient, and the recovery time is relatively long.
Third, the wrong way was adopted.
1. After the fever has subsided, the nursing has just begun.
When a child suddenly has a fever, many parents mistakenly think that after the fever subsides, it means that the illness is cured, that is only for a small number of children with good physique, and for most children, nursing has just begun.
After the fever is reduced, if the child has a thick tongue coating, dry mouth, stool, no appetite, nasal congestion and runny nose and other details, it means that the child is still sick, and the disease is still lurking in the body, waiting for the opportunity at any time**.
Children with ordinary physique, when encountering such a situation, should recuperate for at least three days, eat lightly, rest well, do not go to noisy places such as amusement parks to play, and take it as a recuperation in illness, so as to reduce the consumption of qi and blood in the body, so that the body has enough qi and blood, and drive away the latent diseases, so that after a thorough recovery, it is not easy to cause cough.
If it is a child with poor physique and a lingering cough, although the fever has subsided at this time, but with the symptoms mentioned above, it is recommended to find a Chinese medicine doctor for a few days to completely drive away the disease and avoid coughing after the fever subsides, and it can also completely cut off a vicious circle of repeated coughing in autumn and winter.
2. Just a few coughs.
At the beginning of a few coughs, many people don't care, thinking that the child can get better.
We must understand the actual physical condition of our children, some children are fine by themselves, or with a simple diet, because their spleen and lungs are relatively sufficient.
However, some children have insufficient qi and blood, the spleen and lungs themselves are very weak, and there is a history of repeated cough in the past one or two years.
Therefore, for frail children, we don't need to be anxious about the first few coughs, because the disease is on the surface, as long as we find a doctor in time, 3. Diet needs special attention.
In addition to using traditional Chinese medicine to regulate cough, it is also necessary to pay attention to dietary avoidance.
Sweet and sour foods can worsen coughing. Sour food will collect phlegm, making it difficult to cough up phlegm, resulting in cough that is difficult to heal;Sweets will make it difficult for phlegm to break the roots, sweets will greasy the spleen, and spleen deficiency and dampness will produce phlegm.
Coughing and eating cold drinks not only hurt the lungs but also the spleen. Cold cough is not recommended to eat cold foods, such as popsicles, frozen juices, and ice cream.
Fried food, fish and seafood should be controlled. Most of the fish, shrimp and seafood are high-protein foods, which are not easy to digest and increase the burden on the stomach.
As the saying goes, "Cough and eat chicken, the gods are difficult to heal". Chicken is hot, hairy, greasy, easy to get angry after eating, produce phlegm, and aggravate the symptoms caused by external evils.
4. Go to bed early to nourish qi and blood.
The speed of recovery from cough has a lot to do with the body's qi and blood energy levels. Every night when you sleep, the body undergoes a process of deep recuperation, similar to the maintenance of a machine, which follows the meridian flow.
During the recovery period of the body, it is best to enter the state of sleep at 9 o'clock in the evening, so that the body can be unblocked, nourish qi and blood, and help cough recover as soon as possible.
5. Pay attention to the wind and cold.
During the cough, special attention should be paid not to blow directly in the wind to avoid the invasion of wind and cold and aggravate the cough;Be careful not to walk barefoot, as it is easy to get cold from your feet and worsen your cough.
Clothes should be of moderate thickness, too thick is easy to get hot, and too thin is easy to get cold.
For children with weak spleen and lungs, during the period when there is no cold and cough, the spleen and lungs can be moderately nourished, the spleen and lung ability can be enhanced, and the physical constitution is good, and it is not easy to cough.
The child has just subsided fever, the early stage of cough, and the cough is just right, these three stages, many people are easy to take it lightly, and do not pay attention to the diet, resulting in a lingering cough, so we must pay special attention.
