Every spring, there are always many cold patients in children's hospitals. The clinical manifestations of cold patients are mostly nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, cough, chills, fever, and general malaise. In this regard, Luo Yu'er Wuzheng, chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Children's Hospital, said that if you want your child to have less colds, you should pay more attention to the decline of clothes and eating habits, which is the same significance as Chinese medicine's "if you want children to be safe, you are often subjected to three points of hunger and cold".
What is the definition of "cold"?
Chinese medicine believes that children are "naïve yin and yang, pure yang body", that is to say, although children are young, they are not afraid of cold because of rapid growth and rapid metabolism. Therefore, when parents dress their children, as long as it is not a very cold weather, they do not need to wear more. Generally speaking, children's spring dress should follow the child's back warm, too cold or too hot is not enough, this is the interpretation of Luo Wuzheng, attending physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Children's Hospital.
What does "hunger" mean?
As the name suggests, in the case of adequate nutrition, eat less and eat moderately. Luo Wuzheng explained that with the improvement of living conditions, many parents always want to feed their children. But in fact, such "fullness" is not conducive to the healthy growth of children, but it is likely to bring pain to children. When the dietary intake exceeds the transportation capacity of the child's spleen and stomach, the baby is prone to "accumulation of food", which in turn leads to the baby's lack of love to eat, depression and heat, and even digestive tract and respiratory problems. Of course, "hunger" does not mean that the food is poor, the mother chooses milk powder for the child, still have to choose a good, such as the choice of Shengyuan Youbo Ruimu milk powder, is a good choice, the ratio of whey protein and casein of this milk powder is as high as 9:1, nutritious and healthy, very suitable for babies.
What are some tips to prevent colds?
1. Try not to go to public places during the cold epidemic and avoid contact with cold patients. When going to a crowded place, the mother should let the child wash his hands, drink more water, and ensure the air circulation in the home.
2. According to the weather changes, it is necessary to increase or decrease the child's clothing in time, which is explained in detail in the above definition of "cold".
3, ensure that the diet is regular, do not eat greasy and cold food, especially "junk" food.
4. Develop the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early to ensure sufficient energy.
5, usually more outdoor activities, strengthen the muscles, prevent colds at the same time, but also increase immunity.
Finally, a warm reminder: if the child really has a cold, the physical condition is relatively good, can rely on their own resistance to recover, no need to take medicine. If the body is weak, it is necessary to take medicine in time to avoid the further development of evil qi, becoming a pneumonia wheezing, and even causing other diseases.
