Fever, cold nasal congestion, snoring, is the most common disease in children, seemingly a small problem, but it plagues many parents, some parents with their children repeatedly seek medical treatment, but do not see the improvement, very distressed. The author has been engaged in the clinical work of TCM internal medicine and pediatrics for ten years, summed up a lot of treatment methods and experience, and now shares them, hoping to help the majority of parents.
Six-step antipyretic method for children
Children have a fever, and parents are always extra nervous. I summarize the TCM antipyretic method used in pediatrics for many years as "six-step antipyretic method for children", which is introduced as follows.
Step 1: Open the plug and open the laxative, and draw the salary from the bottom of the pot. Now the living conditions are good, the child's fever is often accompanied by accumulated food, which is manifested by red lips, thick tongue, hot stomach, smelly stool or unsolved for several days. The quickest way to see results is laxative, and the entire intestine can follow the movement after the stool is discharged. Method: Let the child lie on his stomach, squeeze a little Kaiserlu to lubricate the entrance first, then squeeze in the Kaiserlu and leave it for 3 minutes, then let the child defecate.
Step 2: Bleed the tip of the ear and deflate the "pressure cooker". Ear tip bloodletting is what I learned from the principles of bloodletting therapy for stroke first aid. When the heat is high, the child's body is like a clogged pressure cooker, which may explode at any time. Ear tip bloodletting can quickly release pressure, and there are no important nerves and blood vessels in this area, so the operation is safe. Method: After local disinfection with a blood glucose needle, the skin is punctured and ten drops of blood are squeezed out on each side.
Step 3: Chinese medicine bath, sweating through evil. Take 50 grams of mustard and mint, boil for 5 minutes, soak in warm water, and sweat on the head.

Step 4: Pediatric massage, meridians scatter evil. Pediatric tuina "clear the water of the river, retreat six intestines", for children under 5 years old has a good effect. "Qingtian River Water": The position is in the middle of the forearm, and the wrist is striated to the elbow in a straight line. Parents can put the index finger and middle finger together, push the horizontal stripe from the wrist to the elbow horizontal stripe, and push the left and right hands for 10 minutes, 200 to 300 times / min (this is the amount of operation for 3-year-old children). This method is mostly used for fever caused by cold and cold, and is generally used when the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 ° C. "Retraction of the six intestines": the position is the side of the little finger of the forearm, and the elbow is striated to the wrist streak. Parents can put the index finger and middle finger together, from the elbow stripe to the wrist stripe, the left and right hands each push for 10 minutes, 200 to 300 times / min (this is the amount of operation for 3-year-old children). This method is mainly used for fever caused by accumulation of food; It also includes symptoms such as tonsillar ulcer fever, mouth and tongue sores, bad breath, and swollen gums. Generally suitable for high heat above 38.5 °C.
(A circle of friends of a patient's family used bloodletting to urgently manage high-temperature convulsions.) )
Step 5: Apply a patch to the umbilical cord and "feed the medicine". The divine cavity, or navel, is a good route of administration. Method: Soak the cotton ball with Huoxiang zhengqi water, then fix it on the navel with glue and change it every 3 hours.
Step 6: Chinese medicine is taken internally, and the effect is obvious. In my clinic, I often use chai ge muscle soup to add and subtract, and parents can use chinese patent medicine small chai hu granules and bohol granules instead.
Precautions: If your child has a high body temperature and is mentally weak, please go to the hospital in time. Cold, greasy food is not allowed during illness.
External application of traditional Chinese medicine to treat nasal congestion in children
Many parents do not relieve the hurt for their children for a long time because of colds and nasal congestion, and the baby cannot even suck milk and sleep unsteadily; Long-term nasal congestion, lack of oxygen in the brain, but also easy to cause inattention.
I learned the treatment experience of Teacher Zhang Qingjun, the author of the "Jingfang Lecture Book", on the basis of oral Chinese medicine, combined with the use of traditional Chinese medicine external compresses to treat acute rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis Has obvious effects, and can quickly alleviate the symptoms of nasal congestion. Method: 10 grams of wattle mustard, boil in 6 to 7 bowls of water for 10 minutes, remove the residue after cooking, put a large towel into the potion, soak and wring it out, and give the child a hot compress. Cover the area from the nostrils up until the forehead is completely covered, and use 2 towels to alternate the heat compress. Duration 10 to 30 minutes, once a day. Do not go out after external application, do not touch cold water, it is best to sleep directly to avoid being affected by wind chill again.
Rolling egg therapy relieves snoring
Children are adenoidal hypertrophy, snoring when sleeping, and are very harmful to the body. My treatment with rolled egg therapy is good and simple and convenient. Specific steps:
1. Wash the eggs and shake them gently a few times so that the yolks are convenient for easy use after the eggs are steamed.
2. Put the eggs on the steamer basket, put 10 grams of summer dry grass in the water, boil over medium heat, 20 minutes, turn off the heat and stop for two or three minutes before lifting the lid. You can cook 5 at a time.
3. Carefully peel the steamed eggs to keep them intact and roll them back and forth on your child's forehead, nose bridge and face while hot. When it is not too hot, you can also let the child close his eyes and roll in the eye area.
4. After rolling a few times, peel off the egg whites, you can see the egg yolk bulging black convex starting points of varying sizes and some sticky white strips, the first day is a little less, the next day will see a lot, but as the disease lessens, it will slowly decrease later.
5. Use 5 eggs a day, or use a few more when you have time. Do not go out after rolling eggs, shelter from the wind, and do not wash your face with cool water.
6. It is best to use it at night, and let the child sleep directly after rolling. Once a day, 3 to 5 days will be effective, insist on using it for a month.
