What does "sallow and thin" mean?
Sallow and emaciated often indicate malnutrition, which means that all organs of the body are in a state of self-consumption without timely nutrition. In the long run, it is a kind of harm to the viscera. Long-term malnutrition in adults will accelerate the aging of viscera, reduce their function and produce organic damage; Children are in a period of rapid growth and development. If they are malnourished for a long time, it will affect their growth and development, leading to low immunity, stunting and mental retardation.
● Chinese medicine refers to indigestion and malnutrition in children as malnutrition and malnutrition. Compared with adults, children's malnutrition is more harmful, because once it affects their growth and development, it will cause irreversible results, such as infirmity, short height, chicken breast sign and so on, which will be a lifelong regret. Moreover, children are born without the ability of self-selection and recognition, and the whole feeding depends on the family, so what children eat is closely related to their parents' feeding knowledge and concepts.
Parents are prone to make these three mistakes.
Too much-dull temper
I always feel that my baby is not full, whether it is breast milk or milk powder, I want to feed more. After the children can eat, it will be even more out of control. Be sure to feed your belly to a bulging state. Eating too much makes it easy to accumulate food. If food is accumulated for a long time, it will be converted into heat, and then children are prone to eczema and allergic diseases. Long-term stagnation has become what Chinese medicine calls malnutrition, and at this time it is more serious malnutrition. Although there is no shortage of food, children can't absorb nutrition, because the factory that produces nutrition has a serious backlog and is on the verge of production suspension.
Too hasty-dull temper, spleen yang damage
In the process of feeding the baby, not fast. Be sure to follow the child's physiological development law. Don't feed the meat when you shouldn't. But there are always parents who can't stand it and are eager to feed the meat. Every child has different talents, haste makes waste. Parents must follow their children's growth and development laws and physiological characteristics, and don't encourage them.
Impairment of spleen yang and spleen yin
Perhaps the older generation has suffered too much and must not lose their children. So we choose high-nutrition, self-righteous food to feed our children. Snacks are high in sugar, fat and heavy in taste, and also contain trans fats harmful to the cardiovascular system. You really can't eat too much. If the frequency and quantity of cold drinks, ice cream and cold fruits are not controlled, the spleen yang will be damaged; In addition, even rich and greasy food is the chief culprit of inducing food accumulation, helping to get angry and causing spleen yin deficiency. Parents should try to reduce their children's exposure to these unhealthy foods. 1-6 years old, create a light and balanced diet environment for him and lay the foundation for his healthy diet in the future.
Manifestations of children's dyspepsia
1, look at the tongue coating
This is very simple. Many parents also know that the tongue coating of babies with food accumulation will become very thick in the middle (especially in the middle and back of the tongue)-some even become thick, and some babies only have a layer of coin-like yellow coating in the middle of the tongue, and there is no tongue coating around them. Although there is food accumulation, this situation is often not a simple food accumulation, usually accompanied by spleen and stomach yin injury.
2. Judging from the smell in the child's mouth
Babies who accumulate food generally have bad breath in their mouths, which is caused by unhealthy stomach gas, and sensitive parents may find it.
The food accumulated in the body will lead to the loss of control of the stomach and intestines. If the food cannot be digested well, it will turn sour and produce an unpleasant sour taste. At this time, if the mother is close to the child's nose and mouth, she can obviously smell the odor. If the child's tongue coating is not ruddy and white, it is also a symptom of food accumulation.
3. Look at the palm temperature
Babies who accumulate food are often prone to palm fever or even sweating, while the back of their hands is not hot, and careful parents will also find it. This kind of baby is often not a simple food accumulation, usually accompanied by stomach fever.
4. Always screaming for a stomachache
Some children often complain about stomachache or discomfort. When they are not fed, their stomachs swell when they touch them, and most of them are food accumulation.
5. From the perspective of sleep
Babies who accumulate food often like to sleep on their stomach when they sleep, and they are often accompanied by restless sleep at night.
If children eat regularly and are healthy, then sleep should be relatively stable. Once a child accumulates food, his sleep becomes unstable, his hands and feet may dance, his teeth clenched and he keeps turning over.
6. Look at the bags under your eyes
In recent years, it has been found that many children have begun to have bags under their eyes. Especially for children who usually like to eat meat, eating too much meat leads to the long-term accumulation of meat, and often the bags under the eyes are big and dark red. This kind of children often hurt spleen and stomach yin for a long time. At this time, the treatment should nourish the spleen and stomach while promoting digestion. However, some babies will be constipated, or the stool tastes particularly smelly and even sour. Parents should pay attention to these situations.
Expert advice
When improper diet, excessive fatigue, spleen and stomach weakness cause indigestion or vomiting due to qi, you should choose light and digestible foods, such as pasta, porridge, eggs, soup, etc.
Also take some Chinese patent medicines for treating dyspepsia, such as Jianer Xiaoshi oral liquid or Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets.
However, parents should pay attention to the fact that Xiaoshi medicine can not be given to children as health care products every day, otherwise it will damage their spleen and stomach and cause or aggravate digestive dysfunction.
