Hello everyone, I'm Zhao Shuping.
When a child has rhinitis, one of the questions that parents are particularly concerned about when they come to the doctor is: Is my child cold or hot?
- nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing;
- change of season, onset or exacerbation of cold;
- The condition is severe in the morning and evening, relatively light at noon, severe in winter and mild in summer;
- accompanied by chills, fever, no sweating, headache and other symptoms;
- The tongue coating is white and greasy.
- The nasal mucosa is red in color and the pharynx is red, which may be accompanied by cough, itchy throat, dry mouth, heat irritability, etc.;
- It is easy to be complicated by symptoms such as nosebleeds, turbinate enlargement, and loss of smell;
- Runny yellow nose or yellow-white, yellow-green, yellow-bloodshot nasal discharge, viscous texture;
- Feeling the burning breath when breathing, nasal congestion is sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and it is easy to alternate left and right;
- Likes cold drinks, dry stools, easy constipation, red tongue, and yellow moss.
Some children, rhinitis for a long time, will form a body of dry heat at the top, blockage in the middle, and cold at the bottom. With cold medicine, the child immediately has diarrhea and snot worse; If you change to a warm medicine, your child will immediately have nosebleeds, bad breath, and constipation.
The most common thing in the outpatient clinic is cold rhinitis, but no matter what kind of rhinitis, the focus of conditioning is four words - the same tone of lungs and spleen!
Today, I would like to share with you my rhinitis conditioning ideas, which parents can refer to on the road to seek medical treatment in the future and avoid detours.
Just like this boy, 8 years old, with a typical allergic constitution, allergic to mites, pollen, animal fur, and was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis just after his 4th birthday. Mom said that she had paid special attention to it, but rhinitis was just thunder that could not be moved, and it would recur in the season.
Half a month before the consultation, the child accidentally caught a cold, and rhinitis broke out again. This time it was particularly serious, the medicine I had used before didn't work, the nasal mucus became viscous from clear water, yellow-green, nasal congestion was worse than before, I couldn't smell it anymore, and I could clearly hear the sound of phlegm in my throat when I slept at night.
I saw that the child was dressed thicker than ordinary children, and when I asked, I was really afraid of the cold, and I always sweated at night. The tongue is pale red with a thin white coating.
The diagnosis was lung and spleen qi deficiency and phlegm, and combined with the child's condition, he was prescribed to supplement the lung pill and add or subtract the two Chen pills.
Parents are also instructed to supervise their children not to eat fried irritating foods and to exercise more.
After taking 14 doses of medicine, the child's nose has been completely cleared, and the sense of smell has recovered a week ago, only the nasal discharge has not been completely resolved.
Follow-up prescription with traditional Chinese medicine ointment prescription to systematically regulate the physique, the child not only has rhinitis cured, but also has significantly improved resistance.
My train of thought
"The spleen is the source of phlegm, and the lungs are the instruments for storing phlegm", the child has obvious phlegm at night, coupled with rhinitis for a long time, the lungs and spleen are deficient, so the conditioning is centered on the spleen and lungs.
Therefore, I chose Erchen Pills and Lung Tonifying Pills to strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, nourish the lungs and invigorate qi.
Among them, Xinyi, fine Xin, Cangzi and other common points to dispel phlegm, and the method of half summer dryness and dampness to dissolve phlegm; Skullcap is scorched and hot; Poria cocos, atractylodes and other spleen and qi; Schisandra chinensis lungs, mulberry white bark diarrhea lungs, aster lungs; Platycodon is drug-loaded; Rehman, Codonopsis, and Astragalus help righteousness.
The combination of medicines, the lungs, spleen and kidneys are tonified, the righteous qi is sufficient, and the rhinitis is eliminated!
It's time to regulate your child's physique in summer
If the child with severe rhinitis is particularly prone to cold and cough in autumn and winter, take advantage of the summer to regulate the child's physique.
1
Strengthen the spleen and stomach - pinch the chiropractic
Make a fist with both hands, put your two index fingers above the child's spine, keep your thumbs vertical, and pinch, hold, push, and twist from the Changqiang acupuncture point at the end of the coccyx, and go up along the Du vein to the big vertebral acupoint.
Usually pinch a total of seven times, pinch to the sixth time, lift and pinch again, and finally in the spleen Yu acupoint, large intestine Yu acupoint, kidney Yu acupoint press 20-30 times.
Function: Eliminate food accumulation, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and pass through the meridians
2
Replenish Yang Qi - to Yang Acupoint
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the back is yang, and the abdomen is yin". The spine on the back is where the Du Mai is located, and the Du Mai is the main body of Yang Qi, which is called the "Sea of Yang Meridians". Therefore, if you want to raise yang, you can start from the back.
The Zhiyang acupoint is located on the back and is the best acupuncture point to replenish yang qi. Rubbing to the yang acupoints has the effect of invigorating the yang energy of the whole body and dredging the meridians.
3
Promote digestion - rub the abdomen
"Smooth and inverse supplement", the direction and strength of abdominal rubbing are different, and the effect is also different.
The laxative method is mainly used for dissipation, which can be used for constipation, abdominal distention, anorexia, and diarrhea;
Supplement, mainly for strengthening the spleen, mostly used for spleen deficiency, cold and damp diarrhea, etc.;
It has the effect of eliminating appetite and stomach and strengthening the body.
4
Grow tall - body pillar acupoint
In addition to moxibustion, the effect of massage stimulation is also very good. Moxibustion can be done every other day, 5 minutes each time, and massage can be carried out every day for 2~3 months, which is conducive to promoting growth and development.
