Ma Bao must first understand: upper respiratory tract or lower respiratory tract?
To put it bluntly, it is the passage of breathing, which is divided into two parts in medicine. The nose, pharynx and larynx are the upper respiratory tract, and the trachea, bronchi and alveoli below the larynx are the lower respiratory tract. Respiratory tract infection refers to the infection of respiratory system, including rhinitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, tracheitis, pneumonia and so on. Children's recurrent respiratory infections, as the name implies, refer to recurrent respiratory infections, and Chinese medicine calls such children allergic or susceptible.
Respiratory tract infection is too harmful.
What Ma Bao should pay attention to is that if the child's upper respiratory tract infection is not treated properly, it will induce many diseases. For example, inflammation spreads downward and can develop into bronchitis, bronchitis or pneumonia. Spreading to the neighborhood can cause otitis media, conjunctivitis, cervical lymphadenitis, and even posterior pharyngeal abscess. Some purulent infections can cause sepsis and meningitis through blood circulation.
Viral infection may cause myocarditis. Repeated infections in children with allergic constitution can cause asthma. Some children's repeated upper respiratory tract infections will also affect their growth and development, so those children who are often sick in outpatient clinics are always small and thin, which is the reason. Therefore, if the child has rhinitis, cold, tonsillitis and so on. Parents must actively treat at first.
Why do you love to find children with recurrent respiratory infections?
This has a lot to do with the baby's physiological characteristics.
Let's start with the upper respiratory tract. Children have short upper respiratory tract and nasal cavity, no nasal hair in infancy, weak nasal mucosa and rich blood vessels, relatively narrow and vertical pharynx, and abundant lymphoid tissue in nasopharynx. Therefore, the ability to drive away and defend against external pathogenic factors is weak and vulnerable to infection.
Let me talk about the lower respiratory tract. Children's lower respiratory tract trachea and bronchus are relatively narrow, with weak cartilage and lack of elastic tissue, but they are rich in blood vessels, with poor ciliary movement, poor development of lung elastic tissue and little alveolar activity. Once infected with inflammation, it is easy to generalize, and inflammatory secretions are easy to remain in the lungs and lungs, which is not easy to remove, so children are prone to bronchitis or pneumonia.
Finally, talk about the child's immune system. Childhood immune function is not perfect, the antibodies obtained from the mother are gradually consumed, the autoantibodies are insufficient, or the immunity is relatively poor due to the imbalance of essential trace elements and vitamin deficiency, which is easy to lead to repeated illness.
Chinese medicine believes that there are five major reasons for recurrent respiratory infections!
First, congenital deficiency and dysplasia.
Refers to parents who are sickly or have a history of repeated respiratory infections, or elderly parents who suffer from various diseases during pregnancy, or premature delivery, twins, multiple births, congenital deficiency after birth, developmental retardation, tender bones and muscles, loose fur, and intolerance to the invasion of natural viruses and pathogens.
Second, improper feeding and nursing.
The prevalence of susceptible infants is directly related to feeding methods: manual >; Hybridization > breast milk. Most children are partial to food, picky eaters, eat less and have long-term loss of appetite. Therefore, artificial feeding or premature weaning, malnutrition, weak spleen and stomach transport, light diet, insufficient intake, unhealthy viscera function, spleen and lung qi deficiency, easy to be invaded by external evils.
Third, it is rare to see windy days and weak physique.
There are too few outdoor activities, weak adaptability to the cold environment, weak qi inside and outside, and exogenous instability, just like plants in the shade and flowers in the greenhouse, which are not cold-resistant and susceptible.
Fourth, improper medication damages healthy qi.
Improper use of antibiotics, hormones and other drugs will damage healthy qi, reduce resistance and cause repeated infections.
Fifth, the evil poison is still lurking, and the righteousness is not enough.
After the invasion of exogenous pathogens, due to the weakness of healthy qi, pathogens can not be completely eliminated and remain in the body. Once caught cold or tired, the body's resistance drops, and it is easy to feel new feelings, allowing pathogens to develop internally, or even if there is no new feeling, the residual toxins are rekindled and various symptoms appear repeatedly.
In short, the child has delicate viscera, fragile skin, poor external defense function and weak resistance to diseases. In addition, the temperature can not be adjusted by itself. Once the nursing is improper, the evil of six evils will spread to the skin or mouth and nose, and the lungs will bear the brunt. With the growth and decline of positive and negative factors, children will have repeated respiratory infections.
Hunger and cold are usually necessary to ensure the safety of children.
In short, the causes of children's recurrent upper respiratory tract infections are mainly caused by many parenting misunderstandings of parents and irregular treatment of traditional Chinese and western medicine. The famous pediatrician in Yuan Dynasty once said in the New Book of Pediatrics that children often need hunger and cold if they want to be safe. I hope everyone can follow this method. Naturally, all diseases are irrelevant. This is the real parenting lesson left by our ancestors!
But these have long been abandoned by fashionable modern people. Often put too many clothes on your baby, so that your baby will sweat all over when you are a little active, and it is easier to catch a cold than other babies; There are few outdoor activities in winter, and the baby's adaptability to cold and temperature is poor, just like flowers in a greenhouse. When the temperature changes, or when others catch a cold, they will get sick and easily relapse after illness. After the baby caught a cold, the doctor improperly used drugs and took too many drugs such as sweating and relieving exterior syndrome, clearing away heat and detoxifying. As a result, the baby's vital energy is consumed, and the resistance is reduced, leading to repeated colds.
Therefore, often making children hungry for three points will increase their appetite and give them enough stomach gas. Keeping children a little cold often will stimulate their yang and make them full of vitality!
Prevention of recurrent upper respiratory tract infection in children
If you really want to get rid of children's repeated upper respiratory tract infections, you must adhere to the principle of prevention first, pay attention to the concept of raising children in traditional Chinese medicine, avoid changing clothes too quickly in spring and autumn, especially in autumn, try to wear less clothes, don't add clothes and quilts too early, have a light diet, don't overeat cold and greasy products, and let children adapt to the changes of natural climate and eat less anti-season food.
Appropriate outdoor activities and exercise. If you have a cold, you can try Chinese medicine treatment, such as massage, acupuncture, Chinese medicine for children, etc., to minimize the number of infusion treatments. Only in this way can children be given a healthy body and parents be less concerned and worried.
Kung Fu in peacetime, Ma Bao needs to rely on their own efforts.
In fact, there are many reasons for children's repeated upper respiratory tract infections, among which parents have long been misled by wrong parenting concepts, which is a crucial factor. Because children's diet, eating and drinking Lazarus have always been dominated by their parents, only when parents are clear about these misunderstandings in life can they avoid children from repeated upper respiratory tract infections to the greatest extent.
Real Chinese medicine should not only focus on the name of the disease to deal with the disease. But for the society, we should vigorously publicize the correct concept of health preservation, let parents really understand the causes of illness, and then completely change the wrong concepts in the past, nip in the bud, let parents get out of these parenting misunderstandings and give their children a healthy body. Only in this way can we achieve a real cure, which is the fundamental purpose of Chinese medicine treatment.
