I read a book recently and made a lot of notes, which is very useful. This book, entitled "Let Children Not Have a Fever, Cough and Food Accumulation", is edited by Luo Dalun, the former editor-in-chief of Yangshengtang, an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, and Luo Ling, an expert on children's spiritual growth. It is a good book about dietotherapy and psychological methods. Moreover, my colleagues and I have practiced several things, and personal tests are useful.

First, the first stage of the child's cold: (external cold stage)

Symptoms: The child sneezed several times, feeling cold, tight and afraid of the wind. His hands and feet are cold and his nose is clear as water.

At this stage, if parents find it in time and take correct measures, it will not develop seriously in the future.

Treatment:

1. Let the children soak their feet with hot water to drive away the cold and sweat slightly.

2. Boil perilla leaves or soak your feet. (After dinner)

3. Toilet paper is twisted into a thin piece of paper and put into the child's nose to make the child sneeze.

4. Let the child's back warm up until it sweats slightly. You can put a towel around your neck and back and blow it up and down along your back with a hair dryer.

5. Drink hot and sour soup, sweat a little, and go to sleep.

Note: Children sneezing is an instinctive way to get rid of diseases. Don't take medicine to suppress sneezing.

Second, the second stage of the child's cold: (cold outside and hot inside, commonly known as "cold package fire")

If children don't take timely measures in the first stage of catching a cold, the external cold will go deep into the body and fight fiercely with the healthy qi in the body, showing many symptoms of heat, while the external cold on the body surface still exists.

Symptoms: 1. Clear nose and yellow phlegm. Or the nose and phlegm are yellow and white.

2. External cold is manifested as chills, sneezing and cold hands and feet; Internal heat is manifested as yellow phlegm, red tongue, sore throat and yellow and white nose.

Exogenous drugs: Herba Ephedrae, Folium Perillae, Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Herba Schizonepetae and Radix Saposhnikoviae are all drugs of Xinwenfa Powder.

Cleaning and heat conditioning drugs: gypsum, honeysuckle, forsythia, houttuynia cordata, dandelion, reed rhizome and viola yedoensis.

So when you go to a pharmacy to buy medicine, you must look at the ingredients on the medicine box according to the symptoms. There should be ephedra, perilla leaves, gypsum, honeysuckle (double flower) and forsythia.

Third, the third stage when the child has a bad cold (exterior-interior fever stage)

Symptoms:? 1. High fever

2. Phlegm turns yellow or even green.

3. I have a bad cough.

You must see a doctor at this time.

Fourth, the fourth stage of the child's cold (repeated stage)

Symptoms: no fever, no obvious cold symptoms, head and neck sounds and breathing, runny nose, occasional sneezing.

It is actually not good to catch a cold at this time. If left untreated, it is easy to catch a cold again, which is also the reason why children catch repeated colds.

Treatment: Same as the first stage.

After the child's cold symptoms disappear, he needs to replenish his spleen. Because enhancing children's spleen and stomach function is equivalent to improving children's ability to effectively defend against diseases.

? ? ? Small prescription for invigorating spleen and regulating stomach (for tonifying spleen and stomach at the end of cold)

? Yam 15g, fried chicken's gizzard-membrane 3g, taken with boiled water, drink two small cups every day for 3 days.

Note: A healthy child only needs a healthy and diverse diet. Take him for a walk. Don't eat and drink indiscriminately. You don't need to drink these prescriptions for strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach.
