"Doctor Wei, you said that my child is finally getting better, but there is still a slight cough, I am afraid that the medicine is too violent, after all, the child is not fully healed, I want to continue to nebulize the child. ”
I understand this parent's mood too well, the recent child mycoplasma pneumonia has not been completely completed, and has been entangled by influenza and syncytial virus, which is finally getting better, but I must not be very cautious.
At this time, I do not recommend nebulization, the child has already done nebulization in the mid-term treatment stage, and more hormonal drugs are used during nebulization, which may reduce the antibacterial ability in the oral cavity during long-term treatment, resulting in fungal infections in the child's mouth, such as thrush.
In the later stage, when the cough tends to heal, what needs to be done is to "clean up" and "replenish qi". You think that after such a long struggle between the drugs and viruses in the child's body, someone has to clean up the "battlefield" and completely clean up these things. I am afraid that the medicine is too strong, so I use the way of food supplement, and it is also said in traditional Chinese medicine that medicine is not as good as food supplement.
In this case, I often prescribe a Chinese yam to my child, which can be used as medicine and food. Use it to push out the evil qi in the child's body, seize the critical moment, and help the child.
Formula: A number of yams (different grams for children of different ages)
Method: Boil water instead of tea, and take it for two or three days
Advice: 1. Huai yam must be a genuine product bought in a pharmacy, not a yam in the vegetable market
2. Generally, we give the child to drink yam boiled water, if the child's stool is not formed, you can eat the yam meat, if the child's stool is dry, only drink yam water. Because yam has the effect of solidifying astringent stool, if the stool is dry and severe at this time, you can go to the pharmacy to buy some almonds (according to the doctor's instructions with grams) and cook them together, almonds have the effect of ventilation and facilitation.
Everyone should correctly understand that it is not that yam has a direct cough suppressant effect, but that it makes us righteous and full of qi, and the body recovers on its own.
Traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to "curing the terminal disease", in the regulation of children's cough, I have always emphasized that prevention is more important than treatment, usually parents should pay attention to the child's cold and keep warm, when the child has signs of cold, immediately soak the feet with Chinese medicine, find a Chinese medicine prescription to drive away the cold, once a day, once a time, 10-15 minutes at a time, the initial stage of cold can be used for 2-3 days in a row, daily health care can be once a week.
Finally, a few more words, this year's children are a little more difficult, but parents should not be overly anxious because their children are sick, this emotion will be transmitted to their children, which is not conducive to their recovery.
