When a child arrives at night, especially before going to sleep, he is particularly prone to nasal congestion, or his nose is not smooth when he wakes up early. Children's noses are more sensitive than our adults, this is because the children's nasal passages are narrower and delicate, and the external environment changes slightly, such as encountering dust, dry and cold air, the nasal mucosa is easy to congestion, edema, and it is easier to stuff the nose than we do. Why do some children have heavy nasal congestion at night? From the perspective of Traditional Chinese medicine, the ability of the nose to resist external diseases and evils is determined by factors such as the body's qi and blood activity, qi and blood filling, and spleen and lung capacity. During the day, it is yang, the yang between heaven and earth is exuberant, the qi and blood are in an active state, the nose is easy to unblock, or the nasal congestion is reduced. At night, the cold qi between heaven and earth is aggravated, especially in the winter, too cold, the qi and blood are not active, if the child's lungs are insufficient, the main fur of the lungs, open in the nose, the cold qi is easy to invade the body, aggravate the cold, the child is very prone to nasal congestion.
To put it simply, most of the children who are prone to nasal congestion at night are present in the body with these two problems, one is that the spleen and lung capacity is relatively weak, unable to resist diseases and evils; Second, there is too much phlegm in the body, which hinders the normal operation of qi and blood. These two problems are also the root cause of many chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and adenoidal hypertrophy children, who are also particularly prone to nasal congestion at night. When your child's nasal congestion is uncomfortable, you can use massage or hot compresses to get through the nose.
【Through the nasal acupuncture points】,
【Location】Also known as the Upper Yingxiang Cave, the junction of nasal cartilage and nasal wings.
【Operation】 Yingxiang and nasal passage are combined to do together, using the rubbing method, rubbing back and forth. There is also a technique, using the index fingers of both hands to hold the nasal passage points, slowly and vigorously, pressing the force to feel the soreness. Each time is 2 to 3 minutes.
【Effect】Publicize the nasal tips and prevent nasal diseases. 【Egg hot compress】Boil an egg, and then heat the child's Yintang acupuncture for 2 to 3 minutes, because yintang can increase yang qi and can also pass the nose; Then apply a warm compress to both sides of the nose and around the incense points for 2 to 3 minutes to clear the nose. Some children are less susceptible to heat, pay attention to the temperature, and the hot compresses on both sides of the printing hall and nose can take turns.
Special note: Eggs that have been hot compresses should not be eaten. Dredging the nose, just to alleviate the child's problem, this behind the lack of yang, spleen and lung capacity is insufficient, there is a problem of phlegm in the body still exists, at night you can soak the child's feet warm yang, with a hot water bottle hot compress back to get rid of the cold. During the day, we can cook some medicinal food for the child (not suitable during the cold and illness), enhance the child's spleen and lung capacity, the spleen and lungs are strong, the nose will not always suffer.
Special attention, cold in winter, if the bed is very cold, easy to nasal congestion or weak qi and blood of children, do not enter the bed immediately, to first use a hot water bottle to warm the bed. Because the child wears thin pajamas to cope with the cold of the bed, it is easy to aggravate nasal congestion and consume gas and blood. Children with allergic rhinitis are prone to nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose in the morning. But some children are not rhinitis, suddenly appear in the morning nasal congestion problem, there is also a problem behind, that is, the child's spleen and lung ability is temporarily weaker, the ability to resist the cold is relatively weak, especially in the cold winter, in the bed out of the clothes, especially easy to be cold, let the cold invade. Warm sun dispels cold
At this time, we can take a hot water bottle and put it in the large vertebral acupoints and lung acupuncture points in the back to help the body get rid of the cold and raise the yang qi, and the next whole day, basically no nasal congestion.
