In ancient China, Chinese medicine was still used to treat diseases. Although Chinese medicine really treats both the symptoms and the root causes, its effect is slow, especially in children with pneumonia, mycoplasma infection, whooping cough, febrile convulsion in children and even chickenpox. These diseases are treated with western medicine, such as penicillin, erythromycin and cephalosporin.

There are many other reasons, including the level of medical care:

1, poisoned children are powerless.

It's too easy for a child to be poisoned. Children love to eat, and anything like cakes can be fatal, especially when children are relatively light in weight. The dosage of adults is generally enough to kill children.

The competition in the ancient imperial court was fierce, and too many children were assassinated because of infighting, and they were poisoned without finding the reason.

Not only women poison women, but even some princes and brothers kill each other, which is terrible.

2. Being taken care of too well

Children in the palace are generally spoiled and well-fed, which is the best in the palace, but eating only big fish and big meat is easy to be out of balance. In addition, in the palace, children are often held, and their development is generally slow. If they don't play with mud, their resistance will gradually weaken.

Children should go out and run more, play more, exercise more and bask in the sun, and gradually improve their immunity.

3. Children married by close relatives have congenital diseases.

In fact, the matter of consanguineous marriage has yet to be verified. But in ancient times, it was a strong alliance, and cousin marriage was common.

Children born of consanguineous marriage are prone to congenital diseases because of genetic problems, which are difficult to cure, so children die naturally at an early age.
