What's wrong with a child under four years old who keeps coughing and having a fever?

Hello, I'm Dr. Zhongguo, a barefoot doctor.

You said the situation is now a long time to see, now people sick, almost the first thought is to go to the hospital hanging water, this disease with western medicine effect very quickly, almost to find more advanced western medicine are such a treatment program. Antibiotics, hormones, antiviral drugs, plus symptomatic treatment, the difference is only that the choice of drugs expensive and cheap differences.

It is often said that a medicine is three times more poisonous then it is said about herbal medicines. What is Chinese medicine? Natural visible, a grass, all for Chinese medicine, we eat long rice, millet, onions, ginger, garlic and so on are Chinese medicine, even these are three poison? That Western medicine, can be chemically synthesized ah, that is not three poison, is very toxic oh. Into the spleen and stomach digestion and absorption, damage to the spleen and stomach, into the liver metabolism, damage to the liver, through the kidneys, intestinal diarrhea and damage to the absorption of drugs into the blood, damage to the heart and brain, etc., I suggest that people eat carefully look at the instructions for the dispensing of medicines, the side effects of drugs is too terrible!

But it is such a terrible thing, every day to the children, to the old people to eat, but also said in the name of good for you. Why is the United States, Japan and Germany now play the development of Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine still do not want to understand? Say far away.

As a result of the damage caused by Western medicines, the child's spleen and stomach are first injured, and what function does the spleen and stomach have?

Children's small just started to grow, so children's internal organs are delicate, especially vulnerable to drug damage.

Let's talk about the function of yang qi, all the physiological functions of the human body, such as thinking, talking, working, breathing, etc. have to have yang qi to provide energy, and yang qi comes from the spleen and stomach. The function of yang qi has a defensive role, two warming effect, three promote the role of the four gasification, five solid role.

Yang qi comes from the digestion and absorption of drinking food by the spleen and stomach. The function of the spleen is that it is the source of qi and blood, the source of phlegm and dampness, and the main transporter, so it is the foundation of the later life. This means that if the Yang function of the Spleen is strong, the digestion of food will be strong, and the production of qi and blood will be sufficient. On the other hand, if the Spleen's Yang function is weak, the digestion and absorption of food will be reduced, and the production of qi and blood will be less, as the food is not fully digested and absorbed, and the garbage will be produced at the same time. Therefore, the spleen is the source of qi and blood, and also the source of phlegm and dampness.

What is the function of the lungs? Lung main qi, Division of respiration, lung qi to drop for the smooth, the main Xuanfa Suxiong, for the water above the source, and the large intestine and the large intestine, and autumn, the main dryness, the five elements of the main gold, the lung for the huagai, the lung position is the highest, for the delicate viscera.

What does it mean? It means that the lungs are in charge of the ascending and descending of the qi of the whole body, but the qi is still the smoothest when it is descending. You see the blood in our body have to flow through the lungs first, in the lungs for gas, in the heart, running the whole body, so Chinese medicine said the lungs for water above the source, and the highest position. Because the position of the highest, like the Yellow Emperor traveled with too much umbrella, so also said the lungs for the Huagai, in fact, this is the meaning of defense, because the lungs of the fur, so the outside world a little bit of wind on the first to find the lungs, so that the lungs for the delicate viscera, afraid of too much, too cool, too hot, too windy, and so on are prone to hurt the lungs, such as the lungs Huagai function declined, is certainly the onset of the disease.

Chinese medicine says that the Spleen is the source of phlegm and the Lungs are the reservoir of phlegm, meaning that the Spleen is the place where phlegm is produced and the Lungs are the phlegm reservoir. Now that we understand the functions of the Lungs, Spleen, and Yang Qi, let's talk about.

Children are always sick, over and over again cold, cough, a winter to hospitalization four or five put, that is because of the use of Western medicine, harmed the child's spleen function, spleen function decline, can not produce enough qi and blood, the lack of qi so that its defense function declined because of wind and cold, and the body's resistance to fight back, so the child has a fever, so the child will be over and over again you have a cold, the spleen's function is harmed, and can not be To drink food completely digested and absorbed, so produce a lot of phlegm dampness, into the phlegm pot, is the lungs, phlegm dampness into the lungs, affecting the lungs of the main qi function, so that the qi can not be descended, so the cough.

If you want to cure a cold if it's not too dangerous use Chinese medicine to treat it

Second diet must be careful not to let the child eat cold food, and poor seasonal fruits in the future.

Thirdly, we need to protect ourselves from the cold and add more clothes

Get some rest.

You see for yourself your child, whether it is a case of what I said, you'd better go to the hospital first, if the physician surely said it's fine, then find a local Chinese medicine doctor.


You have to take your child to the hospital immediately to find a pediatrician, remember the children's hospital treatment, during which thoroughly engaged in indoor hygiene, usually both indoor ventilation and according to the weather and morning and evening temperature difference to the child to add or subtract clothing, which is the external environment of childcare. The child's dietary hygiene should be especially careful, there must not be the slightest carelessness. I'm telling you that babysitting is a high-risk occupation. And there's no pay.

If the treatment of viral infection is ineffective, you can consider whether it is caused by food accumulation. Generally, fever and cough are treated in the direction of colds and viral infections.

My daughter was more than a year old, fever and cough, drip for a week, all the tests once, treatment is ineffective, and then find a doctor, said it is caused by food accumulation, prescription and take medicine, about five days to heal.

Children with fever and cough, may be mostly cold or fire caused, then, in this process, you need to feed the child some symptomatic drugs in a timely manner, if the fever persists, then you need to go to the doctor in a timely manner, to the hospital to check whether the child's lungs and tonsils are inflamed.

At the same time, the child if the fever did not reach more than 38 degrees, try not to give the child medication, you can use a little physical cooling, give the child more warm boiled water, or use ice packs in the armpits, with warm water to the child to wipe, or take a warm bath, this method of heat repellent effect is better to heat.

If your child has frequent colds and fevers, it is a sign that your child is weak and has poor resistance. To exercise more, take the child to run in the morning, usually do not give the child too much clothing, spring cover autumn frost. If the child is in winter, just give adults the same clothes, and exercise the child's ability to withstand freezing from an early age. The more protected too good, the more can not stand a little cold, so more likely to catch a cold cough. The more you exercise, the more water you drink, the more healthy and happy every baby is!
