December 4, 2021 is the third day of the opening of Lian's Traditional Chinese Medicine Pediatrics Dongrun International Store, we received a call from a mother, because the child is too small, the mother is not very convenient to come out, asking if we can go to the home clinic? After many discussions between doctors and nurses, considering that the child's age is indeed relatively young, we decided to go to the patient's home to understand the child's situation first.
At about 16:00 p.m., doctors and nurses took the medical kit and went to the patient's home. Soon we came to the patient's home, after easily knocking on the door, the door was opened by a teenage boy, after simply verifying the information with the boy, came to the mother's bedroom, the patient is a baby girl less than 6 months old, just woke up from a nap, staring at us with big eyes fluttering.
During the chat with the mother, we learned that the baby was the second child, and there was a ten-year-old brother in the family, and we found that the baby had a runny nose from time to time, accompanied by coughs, and occasionally breathed through his mouth.
The mother said: The child's snot is very long and scary. He said he was holding the picture on his phone and showing it to us. In the photo, the baby's snot is like glue. The doctor and the mother said that don't worry too much, the baby's snot is a process of discharge, and if it does not flow, the problem will be greater.
The doctor touched the child's palm, looked at the child's tongue and nasal cavity, the two nasal passages were blocked with foreign bodies, especially the right nasal cavity was basically blocked, and then observed the child's state, picked up the stethoscope and listened to the child's lungs. The doctor said: The child has phlegm in the lungs, and when he hears it, he is whirring, and the phlegm cannot be blocked. Then ask the child about the stool.
Mother said: the child's stool has been bad, not normal color, has been green, poor digestion, cold and cough has been more than a month, just started to get better soon, and then cold cough to now, the surrounding community hospitals, Chinese medicine clinics have gone over and over again, are not good, see a lot of doctors, doctors said that the child is too small, there is no good way, just give the prescription, come back to eat, paste also pasted, medicine also ate a lot, no effect, I really have no way, and do not want to take the child to the hospital, As soon as he went to the hospital, he had to give the child an infusion, and he didn't go for fear that the child would suffer.
The doctor looked at the medicine given to the child and found that there are many Western medicines, including the medicine that the state has banned children under 2 years old, we can't help but worry, how to give the child so much medicine? These medicines can hurt the spleen and stomach for babies under 6 months of age.
The doctor explained in detail to the mother the harm of drugs, especially infants and young children can not use drugs casually. Now the child has phlegm in the lungs has not been discharged, and take medicine has a lot to do with it, Western medicine just suppresses the phlegm in the lungs, it seems good for a short time, but it is easy to recur. The baby's mental state is better now, fortunately there is no big deal, and all the medicines he takes now must be stopped.
After hearing the doctor's words, the mother blamed herself, and now there are three people in the family, the mother has a cold, the brother also coughs, the baby's nasal congestion has been repeated like this, and the whole family is very tired. From the moment we entered the house, we found that the patient's home, the windows were closed, the bedroom balcony was still hanging freshly washed clothes, and the feeling of wetness in the whole house was obvious.
The doctor said: proper ventilation at home, in the case of good weather, you can take your child out to bask in the sun at about 10 o'clock in the morning, breathe fresh air, when you go out, open the windows of your home, let the air circulate at home every day, reduce the virus infection, the home is now sick number, there are a lot of viruses in the house, in such a closed environment, can you not get sick?
Mom said: Since giving birth to my second child, I basically have not gone downstairs, and I have let my family treasure help buy things, that is, I am afraid of opening the door and opening the window.
In fact, the mother is a little worried, the old saying: if you want to be safe, three points of hunger and cold; the child is a pure yang body, do not have to worry about cold, more outdoor activities can also enhance immunity.
Tuina doctor to the mother to explain the precautions of pediatric medicine push, let the baby lie flat on the bed, began to give the baby medicine push conditioning, the whole process of the baby did not cry, but is very cooperative with the tuina doctor, the baby very much enjoy the whole process of tuina.
At the end, the tuina doctor instructed the mother to be sure to observe the child's cough at night. If the cough is severe, it is a sputum removal process, don't worry too much, the cough will gradually slow down after a day, at this time the mother has to do is to observe. At night, you can take a small basin, to a little warm water, to the child to soak the feet, the child's forehead slightly sweaty on it, can help the baby to promote blood circulation, the baby can sleep peacefully.
In this way, we will end today's reception, before leaving, the doctor once again instructed the mother to care for the matter, and told the baby that the medicine push needs to be pushed for three consecutive days, three days a course of treatment; the child needs more sun exposure, just can take the child to the outpatient clinic to push, properly go out there is no harm.
The next day, the mother held the baby to the clinic, after yesterday's massage at home, the baby's runny nose became viscous, so the tuina doctor began to give the child a second drug push, and then gave the child two stickers for consolidation treatment, after the end of the massage, instructed the mother to observe the child's state.
On the third day, the mother told the doctor that the child sneezed twice at night, the foreign body blocked in the nasal cavity was punched out, and after the child wiped off the nasal discharge, the runny nose was much better, and the cough was significantly reduced; so the tuina doctor began to give the child a third drug push, and after the tuina was over, the mother was asked to observe the child's state again.
After the fourth day, we returned to visit the mother, and the mother said happily: the child's snot is basically no longer flowing, there is no cough, the child's state is obviously much better than the first day, thank you very much.
Whenever we hear my mom say this, we are very relieved, this is our job! It is our responsibility! We are the inheritors of TCM!
