In daily life, children's colds and fever are often the most troublesome problems for parents, especially in the season when the temperature difference between day and night is large. Children are prone to illness if they are not careful, and it may be difficult to completely cure them repeatedly.

Children's cold is one of the common diseases of infants. Why do children catch cold so easily? Is there a way to solve it?

Children often catch a cold, which is mostly caused by physical weakness.

Chinese medicine believes that colds are mostly caused by physical weakness and feelings of external evils. As western medicine said, low immunity is easily affected by viruses and bacteria.

Because of physical weakness, children's colds are easy to repeat and linger, especially some elderly people, women and other weak people.

Traditional Chinese medicine divides children's physical weakness into qi deficiency and yang deficiency.

1. Qi deficiency constitution

The so-called qi deficiency, that is, spleen and lung qi deficiency is the main inducement. Generally speaking, because the child is just born, both yin and yang are quite immature, and it is easy to be unstable, which will lead to physical weakness and colds.

When children catch a cold, they should be treated as soon as possible, clearing away heat and toxic materials, relieving cough and asthma, so as to alleviate the further deterioration of the condition. Bidens bipinnata and Flos Chrysanthemi Indici have the efficacy of clearing away heat and toxic materials, and can be used to make Fuganling oral liquid made of Radix Astragali to relieve fever, cough, asthma, sore throat and other problems caused by cold due to qi deficiency in children.

At the same time, people with qi deficiency constitution will be accompanied by certain symptoms, such as fatigue, sweating, sallow complexion, loss of appetite, belching, abdominal distension, constipation and so on.

2. Yang deficiency constitution

The so-called yang deficiency is mainly induced by yang deficiency of spleen and kidney. Generally speaking, yang deficiency belongs to the worsening stage of qi deficiency. Because the yang is consumed too much, the yin flourishes and the yang declines, which easily leads to various cold diseases.

Therefore, patients with yang deficiency will often catch a cold, have tepid hands and feet, have more stools, have more nocturia, and look pale.

A cold will hurt a child's yang, which will further aggravate the problem of physical weakness. Parents should know how to add clothes properly, wear clothes when it is cold, and take off clothes when it is hot.
