The weather is sweltering, humid, and occasionally cold, and in such a special climate, it is a big challenge for the child's spleen and stomach. However, according to the child's different situations, such as food accumulation, diarrhea, constipation, cold, fever, the intervention method for children is not the same, in the tail of spring, help children lay a good physical foundation, children can be safe into the summer.
The spleen and stomach are not good, and there is accumulation of food
When the humidity is heavy, it is common for children to accumulate food, we can judge whether the child has accumulated food from multiple angles such as tongue moss, breath, stool, sleep, etc. As long as there are more than 1 to 2 items that are not normal, you can judge that it is accumulated food, and it is necessary to eliminate the accumulation in time.
However, when eliminating accumulation for children, you should also pay attention to getting rid of moisture, you can cook a bowl of five-star soup for your child, with vegetarian food for 2 to 3 days. Some children may have a long period of spleen deficiency, and many parents reflect that they have eaten the formula for eliminating accumulation to their children, and the effect is not obvious. In fact, the problem is that the child's spleen and stomach state is too poor, need help, then need some ways to attack and supplement, you can give the child a bowl of cloud technique soup; serious, you can use three-star soup + white art bergamot soup, and then cooperate with vegetarian food.
You can also use some pediatric massage techniques to help children eliminate food accumulation through external forces, and you can use the technique of clearing the spleen meridian 100 to 300 times, clearing the stomach meridian 100 to 300 times, transporting the plate door 100 to 300 times, kneading the four horizontal stripes 3 to 5 times, and matching the four horizontal stripes and the plate door.
The child does not sleep well and is tossing and turning
In the spring, the child's liver qi is relatively exuberant, the liver wood is born of heart fire, the liver qi is depressed, and the heart fire will not be powerful. At this stage, children can easily sleep unsteadily, and even get up in the middle of the night to cry. In addition, if the child is too excited or emotionally stimulated during the day, it will also affect sleep.
Children sleep, what parents need to do is to nourish the child's heart, care for the feelings, you can give the child to drink a bowl of safe sugar water, can achieve the effect of nourishing the heart and liver, peace of mind and calming the mind. Pediatric massage, you can choose the Qingxin Sutra technique, 100 to 300 times or 3 to 5 minutes can be.
The child loses his temper and has a dry mouth
Frankly speaking, the child's liver fire and heart fire often appear at the same time, and children with liver fire will show dry mouth, dry eyes, love to rub the eyes, and irritability. To clear the liver fire for children, you can drink chrysanthemum pork liver soup.
You can also use the method of clearing the liver meridian, 100 to 300 times a day, or 3 to 5 minutes. The liver purification meridian can play a role in calming the liver and calming the fire, extinguishing the wind and calming, and can play a certain role in the child's prone night terrors, irritability, dry throat, and bitter mouth.
For children with a strong liver, parents must pay attention to the love of their children, do not always suppress and criticize the children, and do not compare the children with whom.
Children have colds and fevers
Spring and summer handover, the temperature is basically around 30 ° C, cold and fever, but also mostly based on wind and heat. Wind fever and cold, generally there will be severe fever, throat redness, swelling and pain, cough yellow thick sputum, nasal congestion and yellow nose, slight bad wind chill and other symptoms.
Wind fever and cold, below 38.5 ° C, when the mental state is very good, parents do not have to rush to send their children to the hospital, you can intervene at home first, and the dietary therapy can choose maogen bamboo cane water.
Pediatric tuina techniques can be used to clear the water of the Tianhe River. Qingtian River water, babies under 1 year old about 100 times, children aged 1 to 3 years old can clear 300 to 500 times, and children over 3 years old can clear 800 to 1000 times.
However, parents must pay attention to the fact that if the child has a cold because of blowing air conditioning, beware of wind chills and colds. The fever of the wind chill and cold is not very serious, and it will clear the nose, accompanied by symptoms such as headache and joint pain. At this time, you can't use thatched bamboo cane water, you should use onion white tempeh soup.
Pay attention to the maintenance of yang qi every day
Spring and summer nourish the yang, autumn and winter nourish the yin. Children with yang qi deficiency will have poor body immunity, easy to repeated colds and coughs, usually more afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, loss of appetite, loose stools, easy diarrhea, eat raw and cold pull more seriously, nocturnal urine and even enuresis and so on.
Therefore, parents should pay attention to the maintenance of their children's yang, and there are three most direct and effective methods:
First, get sleep. Not only to sleep well at night, but also to take a nap;
Second, exercise appropriately. The benefits of exercise for children are beyond doubt, but children cannot sweat too much, and they can choose exercise that is not very strenuous, jogging, cycling, etc. are all OK;
Third, pinch the spine. Yang Qi, I am very recommended to give children to pinch the spine, to the child to raise Yang Qi, to support the right qi, improve immunity, generally use the upper ridge pinch (from the bottom to the top).
Finally, I still call on everyone to ensure the child's digestive status, take good care of the child's spleen and stomach, and develop the habit of 10 seconds of digestion and 4 tricks to help digestion every day, which is the most helpful to the child's body.
