I had to say something when I saw this topic about pediatric food accumulation.

In the pediatric clinic, often see such parents, the child is not comfortable, said that it is food accumulation, fever also said that it is food accumulation, do not want to eat also said that it is food accumulation, and even have pneumonia, also said that it is food accumulation. But in fact, there is not so much food accumulation! Unless the baby's stomach and intestines are particularly bad, it is not so easy to accumulate food!

To determine whether or not the baby has accumulated food, we mainly look at whether there is a foul taste in the mouth, whether the stool is acidic, whether the sides of the nose are dirty, if "yes", then it is accumulation of food.

As for the fever caused by the accumulation of food, generally does not exceed 38.5 ℃, do not need special treatment, only need to lower the temperature physically. When the "strength" of food accumulation is over, the body temperature will come down naturally. If more than 38.5 ℃, or the baby's spirit, diet, sleep, urination and defecation changes, and even cough, dizziness, abdominal pain and other symptoms, can not be so simple as food accumulation.

What should I do if I'm sure it's a food buildup?

When you determine that you have accumulated food, you should first fast your baby for a meal or two, and then you can try the following ways to help your baby with the accumulation of food:

1, to give the baby oral "fat child tablets" (also known as healthy child pills), this medicine is specifically for babies with food accumulation. If there is food accumulation, eat the medicine will stomach pain, diarrhea, the accumulation of food out, if not food accumulation, eat also have no reaction, is very safe medicine, 0 to 12 years old baby can eat.

2. Giving your baby Wang's Baochi Pills orally can also work.

3, the mother rubbed her hand hot, gently pressed on the baby's stomach, rubbing the stomach clockwise 100 to 200 times. When rubbing the stomach, the hand should press the stomach down about 1cm, otherwise there is no effect.

4, find professionals to do massage for babies. Tui na treatment of pediatric food accumulation effect is very good, but do not recommend parents at home to the baby tui na, unless parents have learned. Incorrect massage techniques, not only can not help eliminate food, but also may hurt the baby.

I hope my answer can help you.

The above is my personal opinion, if there are any questions or better insights, welcome to comment or private message, let's discuss and improve together 🍭

Heavy breath, dry stools or no stools for many days, bloating, poor appetite, warmth in the palms and feet, increased eye droppings, phlegmatic sounding in the throat, red tongue with thick white or yellowish coating, yellowish urine with a strong taste. Determine dryness, fullness, solidity and heat. May use Fatty Children Pill or Wang's Po Chi Pill.

Accumulation of food is the first of the 2 major causes of common and frequent diseases in pediatrics. When you accumulate food, you may have a runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, fever, and in severe cases, inflammation of the throat and pharynx, which is similar to the symptoms of colds and flu, and it is what doctors refer to as capillary bronchitis (hairy bronchitis) or bronchiolitis.

Children's self-expression ability is poor, the judgment must be accurate, regardless of how the symptoms, as long as the judgment of food accumulation should be treated according to food accumulation is effective, the question comes, then how to determine whether the child is caused by food accumulation? There are the following methods for reference:

1 Children's breath smells bad (may be sour or putrid, etc.), must be food accumulation

2 Stools are smelly (may be sour), there must be food accumulation

3 if the fever is not the back of the hand, the back of the stomach a big difference in temperature (lips touch to check), if the stomach is very hot back is not hot, and the back of the hand is very hot palms are not hot, it must be food accumulation.

4 Think about whether it was caused by something you ate, such as whether you ate too much, whether you vomited

5 whether the stool is not normal (not smooth or dilute, but are on the smelly side); or at first dilute stink, pull a few days on the smelly; or fart particularly smelly; accumulation of food stool color is not normal, usually dark such as black

6 After a few days of accumulation of food, the tongue coating will be thick and gradually become yellow and greasy; yellow and thick tongue coating usually means that the food has been accumulated for at least a few days; white and greasy tongue coating or yellow and greasy tongue coating must also have accumulation of food.

7 Is there any redness of the face, with one side (usually the right) on the hot side; there may also be hot palms and feet on the hot side;

8 Unusual appetite, may not want to eat or may not always look full

9 sleep disturbances at night, non-stop wrenching, this head over that head, crying (accumulation of food will inevitably sleep disturbances, the so-called gastric disharmony restlessness), as well as teeth grinding

10 Severe inflammation of the throat, tonsils, and pharynx, usually beginning with redness, with pus turning white

11 Crying out for a stomach ache that stops after a bowel movement and may still hurt afterward.

One of the first 3 of these is a good indicator of food accumulation.

Whether it is a cough, fever, runny nose, do not eat well, as long as it is caused by accumulation of food, first of all to solve the problem of accumulation of food, a variety of symptoms can be slowly eliminated on their own, to deal with the problem of accumulation of food on the line, adjusting the structure of the diet and eating habits is fundamental, a small number of meals and variety of meals, alternating between water and food, not infants, if you want to reduce the staple food and snacks (accumulation of food in the general decline in appetite), a bit of fruits and vegetables, when I was a child, I would have eaten some! Yeast tablets, roasted garlic, now the spleen pills, digestion pills good (big brand), it is recommended not to use drugs, generally adjust the diet within a week can be effective, and would like to promote the combination of pediatric massage: clearing the spleen and stomach, clearing the large intestine, push the four transverse stripes, mo belly, pinch the spine, can be, the specific acupoints and techniques on the Internet, pay attention to the child's skin is delicate, the massage teacher add a little lubrication medium: emollient oil, skin care powder or cream can be.

Babies are very young and have very little self-control, so it's easy for them to stop eating when they come across something they like.

Adults' requirement for the spleen is to satisfy daily energy consumption, but children not only satisfy daily energy consumption, but also meet the needs of rapid growth and development. However, the child's "five organs and six bowels, the shape is not yet complete, full but not yet strong", the spleen and stomach function is tender, weak. Therefore, the burden of the child's spleen, in fact, relatively speaking, than the burden of the adult spleen.

2. Loss of appetite

Babies who accumulate food usually do not have a good appetite, even if they like the food, often do not want to eat more than one bite, although they eat very little every day, but mothers and fathers can still find that their stomachs are round and bulging, this is because of bloating caused by the accumulation of food in the baby's stomach.

The baby is more short-tempered, irritable and easy to cry, no spirit, or the baby is easy to sweat, sleep disturbed, sleep not solid, tossing and turning, the heart of the hands and feet fever and other symptoms, and even cause the baby fever.

Diarrhea, hard or sour stools, warmth and sourness, distension and heat in the belly.

The phenomenon of accumulation of food in babies is most likely to be manifested in infancy, and most of them are due to the fact that babies do not eat regularly or eat any food that is not conducive to their digestion, resulting in the accumulation of food in the intestines and stomach all the time.

The immunity of babies with chronic food retention will be lowered, and babies will suffer from recurrent colds and coughs, etc.

It can be treated with pediatric massage.

Rub the foot Sanli for 5 minutes, rub the four transverse lines for 5 minutes, push the small transverse lines for 3 minutes, etc.

Let's start with the manifestations of food accumulation, in fact, it is also the manifestations of our second baby's food accumulation some time ago, it is easier to find out these few, basically one look at an accurate:

(1) Farting is smelly and more frequent, and the stool has a sour and rotten odor.

②Children have bad breath and heavy breath

③ Disordered appetite, don't want to eat, get full after a few bites

The child should do what to do with the accumulation of food, that my family at that time the second baby accumulation of food, in order to give the child to eliminate the accumulation of food, we really did not think a lot of ways to summarize, there are these three:

I. Eat a seven-minute meal.As the saying goes, "If you want your child to be safe, you need three minutes of hunger and cold" is correct, give your child seven minutes of fullness at each meal, not only will not be more burdened by the child's spleen and stomach, and will not result in a deficiency of the spleen and accumulation of food. It is also more conducive to the digestion and absorption of the stomach and intestines, the child's digestion and absorption is good, in order to less sick.

Second, drink more yellow thorn water.Yellow buckthorn water is the end of yellow buckthorn soaked in hot water, placed in warm and give the child to drink, can effectively help the child to discharge food accumulation, but also can maintain the child's spleen and stomach, the child has no food accumulation, the spleen and stomach will also be good.

Third, more chiropractic.Chiropractic is a type of massage technique that nourishes the spleen and strengthens the stomach. Give your child four chiropractic adjustments a day, one at a time, from top to bottom, from the spine to the back of the neck, preferably with the child lying prone on the bed, but avoiding the time when the child has just finished eating.

I hope my answer can help you guys oh!

My baby is more than four years old, seldom accumulated food when he was young, and then he ate more food, and the high fever caused by accumulation of food was getting higher and higher. Bronchitis and even pneumonia followed.

My baby as long as the lips with the same makeup, tongue coating white, the most obvious is the baby's eyes under the red, it means that not far from the accumulation of food fever. My baby eats a lot and loves meat. The doctor always said let the child eat less, but the key to eat less baby not dry ah. So usually give the child to eat some to the treasure pill, chewable tablets, to help the child digestion. If the child's eyes under the red or even black, then the diet must do some adjustments, do some easy to digest noodle soup, noodles, dumplings or vegetarian buns. The child's accumulation of food can be relieved. Especially in the evening when the baby comes back from kindergarten, do not give the child any more food, and give some fruit and yogurt at night.

Finally, it is best not to wear more clothes for babies who tend to accumulate food, and freezing is less likely to bronchial tubes and pneumonia.
