Chinese medicine believes that fever is a manifestation of the struggle between good and evil in the body; This process needs to consume a lot of energy, hurting yang and yin.
Especially for persistent and repeated high fever, parents must be vigilant: First, take their children to the hospital for examination in time to avoid serious diseases caused by high fever; Second, repeated high fever will damage the vitality and make the child weak, so it is very important to recuperate after the fever has gone down.
After the fever has gone down, parents always want to give their children a good tonic, but if the children really don't recover, they will take tonic immediately. If the exogenous pathogens are not completely driven away, it will easily lead to pathogens staying in the body, which is counterproductive.
Therefore, before a child has a fever, it is necessary to judge whether the disease is completely cured. How to judge whether the child is completely cured?
Master the following points:
Symptoms and signs were eliminated for more than 3 days without recurrence. What are symptoms and signs? Simply put, it is the manifestation of illness, such as fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat and so on.
Mental state returned to normal. The child showed no obvious drowsiness or listlessness.
My appetite has returned to normal. Good appetite is an important manifestation of spleen and stomach recovery. Spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry and the source of children's energy. When the spleen and stomach are restored, nutrition can be digested and absorbed, and there is a foundation for supplementing nutrition. If the child still has no appetite and doesn't want to eat after the fever has gone down, it means that the disease has not been completely cured, and it is not suitable for tonic at this time.
When the above three points are met, even if the disease has healed, parents can help their children prepare food according to the following two aspects.
1, eat less fried food.
Children with obvious night sweats after illness should avoid eating fried, fried, roasted, smoked and greasy food.
2, the diet should be light
In the first three days after the child is well, it is not urgent to make up for it. Diet should be light, mainly digestible vegetarian food. Even if the child has a good appetite, the diet should be controlled. Just eat seven points full and give the weak and damaged spleen and stomach time to recover.
3. tonify deficiency of spleen and stomach
After three days of light diet, the child's spleen and stomach basically recovered. At this time, his spirit, sleep and appetite were in good condition, and then he began to consider tonic.
The first is the deficiency of spleen and stomach. You can add Gordon Euryale seed, lotus seed, Atractylodes macrocephala, dried tangerine peel, five-finger peach, yam, Pseudostellaria heterophylla, jujube and other ingredients to your child's diet. Or when the child is well digested, drink 1~2 times a week.
Step 4 nourish yin and promote fluid production
In the process of fever, especially repeated high fever, a large amount of body fluids are evaporated, leading to the loss of body fluids in children. Injury to body fluid will hurt yin, thus affecting the generation of yang, so children often appear "deficiency" after illness. After a child has a fever, he should not only pay attention to spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, but also nourish yin and produce body fluid.
The simplest way to replenish body fluid is to ensure adequate water intake, so after a fever, let the children take a small amount of warm water several times; Drinking porridge and slimming porridge are also good choices, which can not only supplement body fluids, but also warm the middle warmer and replenish qi. You can also give your child some boiled apples, steamed pears and some fruit syrup.
Recommend a kind of Yuzhu jujube porridge, which can be made for children at breakfast or as the staple food for lunch and dinner. Drink 1~2 times a week.
