Wang Dayan, Director of the National Influenza Center, Institute of Viral Diseases, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention:
It is the flu season, and people who have not been vaccinated against the flu are still effective. Getting a flu vaccine can effectively reduce infection, and even if you are infected, you can reduce the incidence of illness, and even if you get sick, you can reduce the severity of the disease.

Third, it is best not to smoke indoors and avoid going to crowded and noisy places.
Dietary. First of all, during the illness, the child's nutrition should be balanced and rich, but special attention should be paid to light, easy to digest, appropriate intake of some vegetables and fruits, and avoid some unhealthy diets.
Secondly, try to avoid some spicy and fried foods such as chili peppers and french fries.
Third, try to avoid some high-calorie foods, try to minimize the intake of some desserts or drinks, etc.
Special attention should also be paid to the need to drink enough water, and not to completely replace drinking water with fruit juice.
There is a big difference in climate between the north and the southEating habits are also different XiIn the process of TCM syndrome differentiation in pediatric patients**What are the differences or characteristics?
Yang Jinghua, Director of Pediatrics, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine:
The southern region has different climatic characteristics from the north, for example, in Guangdong, the temperature is still relatively high, but it is cool in the morning and evening, so these children in the south such as Guangdong have acute respiratory infections, most of which are mainly based on wind and heat syndrome.
Generally speaking, there are two types of acute respiratory infections in children: wind heat and wind cold, and in the southern region, wind heat is the main syndrome characteristic. At the same time, it will also be mixed with some dampness or cold evil, when there is dampness, the child will have a bad appetite, and even vomiting and diarrhea, which is a damp evil that hinders the spleen and stomach transport symptoms, if there is also a cold evil, the symptoms of external cold and internal heat may appear at the same time, external cold often our children are manifested as high fever, chills, obvious symptoms of cold intolerance, as well as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, but at the same time he also has sore throat, red lips, dry stool, yellow and short urine This symptom of internal heat, external cold and internal heat appear at the same time. This syndrome may often cause the child's symptoms to be more prominent and difficult to get rid of.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the child's visceral function is insufficient, especially the deficiency of the lungs, spleen and kidneys, but at the same time, there are more than the heart and liver, so after acute respiratory infection, he is prone to phlegm, stagnation, convulsion and other manifestationsSputum clampingIt is because the function of the lungs is impaired, resulting in cough and phlegm. StagnationThat is, after our children catch a cold, they are prone to some symptoms of poor digestive tract function, such as poor spleen and stomach function, poor appetite, thick tongue coating, and foul breath. ShockedWe will also see that some children will suddenly have dizzy convulsions when they have a fever, which are some of the characteristics of children's colds. But it is also prone to appear in the southern regionWet clampingIf the dampness invades the human body's muscle surface, it will feel that the body is very sleepy and heavy, and more children will invade the spleen and stomach of the human body because of the dampness, which will lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and thick tongue coating.
Children in the south are relatively weaker in spleen and stomach function, so after feeling the evil qi, we should take special care of the child's spleen and stomach function when taking medicine, pay attention not to use too bitter cold medicines, and do not consume too much cold food, such as raw and cold fruits, frozen drinks, because eating these foods, or overusing bitter cold medicines, will cause the child's yang qi to be damaged, resulting in the aggravation or prolongation of the disease.
There are a lot of children in the ** process,Recurrence of coughing for a long timeRunny nose, loss of appetite,What to do in this case? How to choose Chinese medicine for ** and conditioning?
Wu Liqun, Director of Pediatrics, East Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine:
Children often have a cough in addition to a fever. After carrying out the corresponding anti-infection, anti-virus**, there is often a symptom left is cough, and some children have symptoms of cough and phlegm that will last for a long timeIt can be used to take internal or external treatment to clear away residual evils, support righteousness, strengthen the spleen and dissolve phlegm, and relieve cough and phlegmDrugs for internal administration include traditional Chinese medicine or proprietary Chinese medicine prescribed according to the individual condition of the child, and external treatment methods can also be used, such as cupping, acupoint massage, etc., which have a good effect on poor absorption of pneumonia rales.
In the later stage of the disease, the cough lasts for a long timeYou can use dietary therapy methods, such as cough, phlegm, phlegm white and thin, we can use tangerine peel, ginger stewed pears, with fresh pears, wash clean, do not peel, dig out the pear core, add tangerine peel and ginger shreds in the middle of the pear, put it in a bowl, steam it through water, drink soup and eat pears. Tangerine peel has a good effect of drying and dampness and expectorant, ginger has the effect of warming the lungs and dissolving phlegm, and pear and pear peel have the effect of moistening the lungs and reducing fire. If the child has a dry cough and less phlegm, in this case, you can use lily and Chuanbei to stew pears, lily and Chuanbei have the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, in addition, we can also follow the method of massage and massage, which plays a certain role.
