As the weather turns colder, coupled with the snow some time ago, many parents of children are very worried that their children will be frozen.

In the process of my diagnosis and **, I have repeatedly emphasized the importance of cold resistance, because I have found that the existence and characteristics of "cold evil" are closely related to my field of expertise.

And "cold evil", this is one of the things I often mention in Chinese medicine.

The characteristics of "cold evil" lie first of all in its feminine nature, and at the same time, it is also easy to deplete the body's yang energy. In TCM theory, Yang Qi is considered to be the root of life, warming the internal organs, maintaining body temperature, and promoting the flow of qi and blood. If Yang Qi is insufficient, a series of cold symptoms will appear.

For children, the damage to yang energy is especially important. The viscera will become weakened by the "loss" of the function of warming and vaporizing. We know that children's internal organs are not yet fully developed, and if the yang qi is damaged, they are more likely to suffer from cold symptoms, such as common wind chills, cold coughs, allergic rhinitis, allergic coughs, etc.

At the same time, the kidney is called the "innate foundation", and the spleen is called the "acquired foundation", which is an important organ for maintaining good health. When the cold evil consumes the spleen and yang, the child's resistance will become poor, and he will be susceptible to various diseases, and even lead to backlashIf the cold evil depletes the kidney yang, it will not only affect the growth and development of the child, but also may cause other diseases.

Let's talk about another characteristic of cold evil: condensation. "Cold coagulation, blocking qi and blood", I often explain to patients in this way. This is just like if the temperature is too low, the water vapor will freeze, and the operation of the body's qi, blood, and fluid also needs to be promoted by the warmth of yang energy.

And once the cold evil invades, the yang qi is damaged, the qi and blood are "frozen", the coagulation is blocked, and the astringency is blocked, which will lead to a feeling of pain in the body.

Here are some of the symptoms that may indicate that your child is under attack from a chill:

1.White or yellow tongue coating: When cold evil invades, cold and dampness accumulate in the body, making the tongue coating white or yellow.

2.Cough and runny nose: Cold evil invades the upper respiratory tract, causing children to have symptoms such as cough and runny nose.

3.Headache and fever: Cold evil invades the head, causing headache, fever and other discomforts.

4.Cold hands and feet: When cold evil invades the body, it causes blood vessels at the ends of the limbs to constrict, resulting in cold hands and feet.

5.Diarrhea and abdominal pain: Cold evil invades the stomach and intestines, causing diarrhea, abdominal pain and other digestive symptoms.

If the child has the above symptoms, it is recommended that parents take the child to the doctor in time, and pay attention to keeping warm, drink more hot water, and avoid getting cold again.

Specifically, the cold evil invades the skin surface, and the child may have headaches and sore joints in the limbsWhen the cold evil invades the internal organs, the qi is blocked, which may lead to abdominal pain. For some adolescent children, after menarche, cold evil invades the uterus, which may also cause dysmenorrhea.

The cold evil invades, making the child's physical condition worse. First of all, illnesses such as colds, fevers, coughs, etc., can ensue and cause pain to children. Secondly, the cold evil will damage the child's spleen and stomach, affecting the digestive function, resulting in loss of appetite, indigestion, constipation and other problems.

Finally, cold evil can also affect children's mental state, making them easily feel tired, powerless, irritable, etc., which has a negative impact on learning and life. Therefore, parents must pay attention to protecting their children from cold evil in daily life, pay attention to keeping warm, strengthen exercise, and enhance physical fitness.

In addition to cold protection, there are also the following ways to prevent your child from getting sick:

1.Maintain good indoor air circulation. Opening windows regularly for ventilation can help keep indoor air fresh and reduce the growth of bacteria, viruses and allergens.

2.Practice good hygiene. Urge your child to wash his hands, teeth, and face frequently, and not to touch things.

3.Scientific Diet. Reasonable combination of meals and adequate nutrition for children can help improve immunity and prevent diseases.

4.Exercise appropriately. Allowing children to exercise moderately can help strengthen physical fitness, improve immunity, and prevent diseases.

5.Avoid excessive fatigue. Allowing children to get enough sleep and avoid excessive fatigue can help improve immunity and prevent diseases.

6.Develop a good mindset. Maintaining an optimistic and positive mindset can help improve immunity and prevent diseases.

To sum up, the importance of cold resistance is self-evident. Although it is difficult to completely avoid the invasion of cold evil in life, we can prevent the invasion of cold evil by paying attention to keeping warm, regular work and rest, reasonable diet and appropriate exercise.

In this way, it can not only ensure the health of children, but also help their growth and development. I think that's something we should be concerned about together as parents and doctors.

Finally, I hope that all children will be healthy, safe and happy.
