Recently, many patients have been infected with respiratory diseases, even if the condition is effectively controlled, because of the disease and the use of various drugs, the body often has not been well recovered, showing poor appetite, dry cough, heavy taste in the mouth, abdominal discomfort and other phenomena. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, these symptoms are all manifestations of qi and yin deficiency, deficiency and internal fire, and damage to the spleen and stomach. Therefore, don't blindly make supplements, you can make up from the following aspects.
1. In daily life, we can't blindly supplement nutrition after illness. We should pursue a balanced diet, choose light and easily digestible foods, and consume some vegetables and fruits in moderation. For patients with cough, "cold drinks hurt the lungs", so it is best to avoid drinking cold drinks and too much fruit and melon food. In addition, the lungs do not like spicy, hot and dry foods, so we should try to avoid spicy and fried foods. For patients, "seafood or fatty and greasy foods will hurt the spleen and stomach", patients who have not recovered after illness have relatively weak spleen and stomach function, especially during illness, the body's digestive function will decline, so we need to avoid intake of unhealthy foods such as high calories and reduce the intake of cold desserts or drinks before recovery.
2. During the period of respiratory tract infection, we often have a dry cough or throat discomfort, which requires us to pay special attention to replenishing enough water, and cannot take juice instead of drinking water in order to pursue taste. Because most fruits are cold foods and contain a lot of sugar, consuming too much of them may cause cough to be difficult to heal. If you have a bad appetite, we can use grain sprouts, malt or hawthorn boiled water to take it, and we can also use massage techniques to promote the recovery of spleen and stomach function.
3. Pay more attention to personal home care. Pay attention to the change of temperature in time, ventilate regularly to avoid the breeding of dust and bacteria, and keep the living environment clean and hygienic. During the illness, try to go out as much as possible and avoid going to crowded and noisy places, which can easily cause cross-infection.
4. In terms of daily life, after illness, it is better to rest and recuperate, avoid strenuous exercise, and exercise without sweating. In winter, you should go to bed early and get up late in accordance with the characteristics of the solar terms, sleep as much as possible in the morning, and ensure adequate sleep.
As noted above, it is beneficial for our health to get through the recovery phase safely.
