For children, in the process of spring yang qi generation, the excess fiery heat in the child's body will also be generated, and the internal organs and meridians of the human body will also accumulate too much fiery qi.
The child's throat seemed to be roasting in the heat. If the "Yin Qi" in the child's body is enough, the heat that comes up can be balanced, and the throat can withstand the fiery burning.
However, if the child's yin qi is insufficient and cannot balance the rising heat, it is easy to have problems such as tonsillar and adenoid hypertrophy.
TCM refers to the throat as the "sea of qi", which is where qi gathers and is one of the most vigorous parts of yang. The throat is in direct contact with the outside world and is one of the entrances for external evil (germs) to invade the human body.
Once the external evil invades the child's body, the body will mobilize more qi to the tonsils and adenoid parts to fight the external evil.
This struggle may cause the throat area to become fired, resulting in symptoms such as a sore throat. A sore throat is a symptom of heat caused by excessive accumulation of qi over time.
In response to this situation, only one drug needs to be used, that is, summer hay, and eggs should be added as a medicine primer, and the two should be used together.
Prunella
It is a Chinese medicinal plant that grows in winter and withers in summer. According to the Materia Medica, the taste of summer hay is spicy, bitter, cold, and attributed to the liver and gallbladder meridians.
The cold smell of summer hay corresponds to the winter moisture in the sky, and the bitter and spicy taste corresponds to the fire and metal smell underground (according to the principle of the five elements, fire corresponds to bitterness, gold corresponds to spicy).
The cold smell of summer hay can suppress the heat formed by the accumulation of gas in the throat, thereby alleviating the symptoms of fire. At the same time, the bitterness and spicy taste of summer hay can be dispersed, and the stagnation formed by gas accumulation can be dispersed, and the fire will be lowered, so that the heat can quickly dissipate.
Egg
It is a kind of nutritious food, sweet taste, can replenish blood, calm the heart, clear heat, open the sound, quench thirst, dryness, eliminate irritability, detoxify, breathe the wind, moisturize, etc. In fresh eggs, the nutrient content is richer.
In dietary therapy, eggs can nourish qi and blood, adjust the spleen and stomach, and at the same time alleviate the bitter cold nature of summer hay. The combination of the two can clear heat and dissipate swelling without damaging the child's delicate spleen and stomach. In addition, modern pharmacological studies have also found that Xia subtilis has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
Summer hay + egg 1 pcs.
Summer hay (the dosage needs to be determined according to the child's weight) and eggs are boiled in white water, boiled until the eggs are cooked, cracked the eggshells, and then boiled until the summer hay juice slowly penetrates into the eggs.
At the beginning of spring and summer, children are mixed with cold and heat, the tonsils are red and swollen, and there is pain in swallowing, you can use summer hay to boil eggs, drink summer hay soup, eat eggs, drink for three days, and the symptoms will gradually disappear.
For mild cases, eating boiled eggs from summer hay can ensure that the symptoms disappear.
Prophylaxis:
If there are no symptoms of fire such as throat discomfort, that is, preventive consumption of summer hay boiled eggs for a few days can basically ensure that there will be no symptoms of fire such as tonsillitis throughout summer and autumn.
Notes:
One is that people with spleen and stomach deficiency should use it with caution, and the other is that this prescription needs to be used in the early stage of the disease, if the tonsils and adenoids are inflamed or hypertrophied, it will not work.
Tonsillar and adenoid hypertrophy repeated inflammation is false evidence, heat evidence, the attack period of the positive qi is more and more weak, the cause is mainly deficiency, supplemented by heat, and the prescription of bitter cold, strong dispersion power, weak support force, so the effect is weak;
In the early stage, the body's healthy qi is still sufficient, the cause is mainly heat and evil, and if it is bitter cold, the medicine will be eliminated.
Dialectical addition and subtraction:
If the child's tonsils have been inflamed or the adenoids have been enlarged for a long time, in addition to the above-mentioned summer hay boiled eggs, other prescriptions need to be taken according to the condition to add or subtract.
For example, if your child's tonsils are severely red and swollen, accompanied by symptoms such as high fever and cough, you can consider using "silver warp detoxification granules" to add or subtract. The specific medication should be adjusted appropriately according to the child's age, constitution and other factors.
In addition, it can also be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods such as decoction medicine and tuina, which can help speed up the recovery of the condition. When using TCM treatment, it is necessary to add or subtract according to the specific condition to avoid adverse reactions.
Healer, Renshu also. As a doctor, I know that treating diseases requires not only superb medical skills, but also a sense of responsibility and care for children.
Especially when treating problems such as tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy, it is necessary to take different prescriptions and treatments according to the child's different conditions and constitutions. If the drug is taken blindly, it may lead to deterioration of the condition and affect the treatment effect.
As a pediatrician, I am well aware of the anxiousness of parents and their own responsibilities. I will do my best to protect the health of my children. Therefore, I recommend that children should not blindly self-medicate when they have problems such as tonsil inflammation and adenoid hypertrophy, and should seek medical attention in time, let the doctor conduct differentiation, and formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
