How can I tell if it's a cough?
There are three key points in cough: "cough with phlegm, stagnation, and internal heat"
Cough and phlegm
The cough is loud and has more phlegm, mainly yellow or white, and the phlegm is heavier, and the cough is usually heavier at night.
There is stagnation
In addition to coughing, the child's food accumulation is also more obvious. For example: thick tongue, heavy breath, sour stool or a lot of undigested food, restless sleep, like to sleep on your stomach, etc.
There are manifestations of internal heat
Esophagia tends to dissipate heat, and this internal heat often manifests as redness, swelling and pain in the throat, nasal congestion, nosebleeds, redness of the eyes and eyelids, and a slightly warmer chest, abdomen, and palms of the hands and feet than other places. In addition, the accumulation of stagnation and heat is also easy to hurt the fluid, dry mouth, red lips, yellow urine, dry and smelly stool, constipation and other manifestations.
How does esophagophageal cough form?
The concept of esophagus cough originated from Li Zhen's "Introduction to Medicine" in the Ming Dynasty, and esophagophagia cough is one of the more common types of cough in children, and about 70% of children with cough will have symptoms of esophaught.
The premise is that the child has food accumulation, once there is food accumulation, it will lead to the accumulation of undigested food in the gastrointestinal tract (middle coke), and the food accumulation will gradually generate depression heat after a long time, resulting in poor human qi, abnormal water metabolism, and excessive water dampness in the body. When heat and water are combined, phlegm is formed. The sputum is invaded in the lungs, affecting the lungs' ability to descend, resulting in coughing.
