Chinese medicine pediatrics Li Bo: Children's constipation is not necessarily all internal heat, and there is a cold secret situation!
When it comes to constipation, many people will think of fire for the first time, and there is heat in the body; this is indeed a relatively common constipation. But there is also a kind of constipation, which is not easy for us to pay attention to, if it is treated by the method of treating hot constipation, it will aggravate the situation of constipation, that is, cold constipation.
Cold secret is a dry stool caused by insufficient yin sperm in the human body. It is often triggered by lifestyle and eating habits, such as frequent use of air conditioning, less exercise, less walking, and regular consumption of raw and cold fruits and melon foods. We can now eat cold drinks and raw cold melon fruits all year round, and many parents like to give their children seafood. Although many seafood is a high-protein food, most of the properties are relatively cold.
We once met a 5-year-old child, who loves to eat crabs, and the family is also petted, and can eat four hairy crabs a day, and the child's constipation is very serious. In addition, the child's own spleen and stomach function is relatively weak, and once it suffers from the evil of cold, it will affect gastrointestinal peristalsis and aggravate constipation.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine: "Cold is condensed, and condensation is not passable." "Just like the river in winter, the water doesn't flow after freezing. In fact, if children eat cold foods for a long time, it will affect gastrointestinal peristalsis.
How to judge whether a child's constipation is a cold secret?
In addition to the dried stool is a sheep feces egg, there is another feature, this kind of children are often afraid of cold, cold hands and feet; touching the child's abdomen can obviously feel a cool air. At this time, if you still follow the ordinary constipation method of conditioning and use laxative medicine, the situation will get worse and worse. And this kind of child's yang qi will become more and more insufficient, and it is easy to catch a cold, cough and fever.
Therefore, to treat cold secrets, we must use the method of warm supplementation. Children's Tuina acupuncture points are generally taken to supplement kidney yang, spleen yang, foreign labor palace, push three passes, kidney Yu, life gate, Yongquan point, Yongquan point can be ignited to return to the yuan, the heat of the upper heart and liver to the soles of the feet. In this way, the child's lower focus will be warm, the intestines will squirm under the impetus of this warm vitality, and the stool will not dry up.
At the same time, we must remember to change the diet structure, avoid cold food, eat more warm and digestible foods, do not eat cold fruits, hot herbal tea to laxative, avoid shrimp and crabs and other seafood.
Symptoms of cold secrets:

When the child is constipated, before eating gunpowder, it is recommended to look at the tongue to see if the tongue is white? Whether the hands and feet are relatively cold, etc., through these observations, you can roughly determine whether there is a cold intestine. If this is the case, it is necessary to use warm drugs in the treatment, not to use bitter cold drugs, bananas are cold, you can no longer eat.
