The air turns cold, alternating hot and cold, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, plus the foggy weather. Recently, the most common symptom of baby is cough. The most annoying thing is that some babies cough for about a month. Cough is more likely to recur if they catch a cold during menstruation or because of smog. It's often like this. I ran in the hospital for about a month and took a bunch of medicine to cough. When traveling, the baby began to cough again, sometimes worse every time.

Cough includes initial cough, chronic cough, bronchitis, asthma, autumn dryness cough, dyspepsia cough, allergic cough, etc.

The first step in treating cough: learn to distinguish the symptoms of cough.

It is very important to distinguish the symptoms of cough. Although sometimes it is really difficult to distinguish what kind of cough it is, it is easier to overcome the baby's cough by learning to distinguish symptoms and using corresponding methods.

The most basic thing about cough is to distinguish cold cough, hot cough, bronchitis, indigestion cough and allergic cough. Generally speaking, the following are the main types of infant cough:

colds cough

Cold and cough are often caused by catching cold in the body. The most typical symptoms are: white tongue coating, cold, cold, cold and other cold symptoms, runny nose or dry nose, no runny nose. Cough without phlegm or spit white foam sputum.

cough due to wind-heat evil

Wind-heat cough is mainly caused by pathogenic heat or excessive internal heat. The main symptoms are red tongue tip and lips, accompanied by bad breath, heavy gums, yellow pus and runny nose, and yellow pus and phlegm.

bronchitis

Bronchitis is a cough caused by bacteria or viruses invading the trachea. The cough caused by bronchitis is often particularly severe, and some serious babies will keep coughing, which is very uncomfortable.

Dysphagia and cough

Dysphagia and cough are caused by indigestion. Sometimes the baby eats too much chocolate, sugar or high-protein food such as meat, fish and shrimp, which will lead to indigestion, cough, fever, vomiting, anorexia and other symptoms. The most typical symptom of indigestion cough is that you don't cough during the day, and you don't stop coughing when you lie down when you sleep. If the baby suddenly coughs in the middle of the night after falling asleep, the mother should first be alert to whether the baby has accumulated food. Recall the baby's recent diet, and observe the spleen and stomach reflex area on the baby's tongue to see if there are symptoms such as white and thick tongue coating and yellow greasy. If there is, even bad breath, it is probably food accumulation.

Allergic cough

Allergic cough usually coughs after getting up at night or early in the morning. Generally, there is no phlegm or less phlegm, and cough will get worse after exercise.

Allergic cough's use of Qingre Granules won't help, but the basic massage technique of cough should be combined with massage and dietotherapy for invigorating spleen and kidney.

Some mothers may find it too much trouble to distinguish cough symptoms. If you want your baby to get better and better, your mother needs more patience and confidence now, and treat your baby in a healthier and safer way.

The second step of treating cough: give the child a massage.

Now children's massage is becoming more and more popular, for no other reason. More and more mothers find that it can really help their babies get better quickly after using it. Massage itself is to stimulate the child's own immunity, and the baby is easily influenced by the outside world. The sharp rise and fall of temperature, overeating and satiety will reduce the baby's disease resistance. So the virus is easy to invade, and only by improving immunity can the virus be expelled. Moreover, children's massage can improve immunity.

Regarding the massage method of cough, no matter what kind of cough, the techniques that can be used are:

Push shoulder blades separately: Pushing shoulder blades separately is the best way to treat cough, and it can be used for any cough. If the baby coughs, use this technique immediately, which can stop the cough quickly. This method has been used many times and the effect is particularly good. When the baby coughs, the mother can help the baby push it whenever she has time.

The specific operation mode of pushing the scapula separately is to push it down from the shoulder well of both shoulders, down along the inner side of the scapula, and to both sides. When pushing, it will pass through the shoulder well, the air door and the Shu Fei of the back.

If the baby's cough is not severe, push the scapula 50- 100 times. If the baby has a bad cough, it is better to push the scapula 300-500 times. If the baby has serious problems such as tracheitis and pneumonia, massage the scapula for about 10 minutes. Push the scapula separately through the clothes, push it several times, press Shu Fei, and then push it again, so the treatment effect is better.

Press and knead Shu Fei:

Shu Fei is located under the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra of the spine 1.5 inch. The location of Shu Fei can be found like this. Let the baby lower his head first, and there is a prominent high bone behind his neck. This is the spinous process of the first thoracic vertebra, also known as the Dazhui. Touch down along the Dazhui, and the third bony process is the third thoracic vertebra. There is a depression along the third thoracic vertebra to both sides near the scapula, which is Shu Fei. Shu Fei plays a very important role in lung meridian and respiratory diseases. As long as there is something wrong with the baby's lungs, you can massage this acupoint. When massaging, press the acupoints with the fingertips of index finger and middle finger for about 2-3 minutes.

Press massage center:

Zhongshan acupoint is located in the midline in front of the body, the midpoint of the connecting line between the two nipples, and it is the intersection point of qi. For babies, Zhongshan acupoint can treat cough, asthma, shortness of breath and cough and asthma. When treating cough, especially for children with chronic cough caused by internal injuries, Zhongshan point is an essential point! There are two ways to massage Zhongshan point: kneading and pushing. Knead with middle finger or forefinger for about 1-3 minutes. Push is to push out from Zhongshan point with two thumbs, or push the chest from the middle to both sides respectively.

If it is a hot cough, it is necessary to clear the liver for 300 times, clear the lung for 300 times, and chiropractic 10-20 times.

If you have a cold and cough, you should wipe your back for 5- 10 minutes to let the cold out. With massage oil as the medium, use the palm root or thenar to do rapid I-shaped reciprocating friction on the baby's back to rub the spine, with heat penetration as the degree; Then rub Dazhui, Shu Fei point on the inside of scapula and Shenshu point on the back directly opposite the navel, all of which are heat permeable.

If you cough with phlegm, replenish the spleen, lung and kidney channels 300 times each, and press the thumb, ring finger and little finger respectively. Press and knead the red dragon for 2-3 minutes, and the red dragon is located 8 inches above the tip of the lateral ankle. The midpoint of the line between the lateral knee eye and the lateral ankle tip. It has the effects of resolving phlegm, relieving asthma, regulating stomach and regulating qi. Indications: abdominal distension, excessive phlegm, cough and asthma.

If the baby has been coughing for a long time, or allergic cough, it needs to be repeated.

Tonifying lung meridian, spleen meridian and kidney meridian 200-300 times each,

Chiropractic for 5- 10 times, kneading for 3 times and lifting for 2-5 times,

If it is bronchitis, you need to cooperate with chiropractic 10-20 times to dredge the lung channels for 500 times. If the baby coughs badly, the mother can also help the baby moxibustion Shufei and Zusanli.

If it is indigestion cough, pinch four winds point 10-20 times, clear stomach meridian 300 times, clear lung meridian 300 times, and chiropractic 10-20 times. Press Zusanli 1 min.

The third step of treating cough: dietotherapy.

Massage combined with diet therapy often gets twice the result with half the effort.

The fourth step of treating cough: let go of anxiety and use patience, confidence and determination.

Every mother must understand the anxiety and helplessness of her parents when her baby is sick. The general mood of mothers is to hope that the baby will get better soon. But every disease has a recovery period, and it takes about a week to get better. Therefore, when the baby is sick, every parent needs to calm down first. Carefully observe the baby's mental state and carefully recall the baby's diet and illness in recent days, especially if there are any special circumstances. In this way, it is easier for the mother to know whether the baby's condition is urgent or not, and it is better to know what it is. Even if you go to the hospital, you can describe the baby's situation to the doctor in more detail.

If you are not sure about the symptoms, you must go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis first. Don't be afraid of illness and doctors. Go to the hospital early, don't worry. The baby is really ill, and the problem can be diagnosed earlier.

Once the problem is diagnosed, the mother needs patience, confidence and determination to look at the baby's condition. Babies generally get common diseases, and many common diseases are self-healing. As long as it is properly controlled, it can also stimulate immunity in the body.

Many mothers must have had similar experiences. When the baby is sick, he goes to the hospital to take medicine and hang water. The condition is under control, but the baby's health is getting worse and worse, and he will go to the hospital once a month on average. Adults are tired, but babies are annoyed. If you ask doctors why this happens, most doctors will tell you that it is congenital constitution. Now that the material is so rich, everyone pays great attention to nutrition during pregnancy. Even many premature babies can grow up healthily, not to mention babies with good conditions in all aspects.

Therefore, once the baby is diagnosed as a common disease, everyone needs to put down their anxiety, strengthen their confidence and choose some healthier, safer and less harmful green therapies to treat the baby. Therefore, when the baby is sick, we must first strengthen our confidence, patience and determination! Especially the use of massage for children, we must have confidence. Countless mothers have found that massage for children is very effective.

The fifth step of baby cough: three-point treatment and seven-point cultivation

As the saying goes, "three-point treatment, seven-point support", if you want to cure your child's cough, you must pay attention to "support".

(1) Increase or decrease clothes and quilts in time. Children are hot, so many babies cough not because they are cold, but because they wear too much and eat too much, which leads to lung heat cough. The weather is getting cold, so children must pay attention to their clothes. The baby's clothes are the same as those of parents, and even the baby's clothes can be less than those of adults.

(2) Maintain proper humidity, such as the environment is too dry, the air humidity drops, the mucosa becomes dry and fragile, small blood vessels may rupture and bleed, cilia movement is limited, and sputum is not easy to cough up. Therefore, keep the indoor humidity moderate and let the baby drink more water.

(3) Strictly control diet, which is the most important aspect. As the saying goes, "fish makes a fire, meat produces phlegm, and green vegetables and tofu keep it safe." It can supplement various vitamins and inorganic salts, which is beneficial to the recovery of metabolic function of the body.

During coughing, you must strictly control your diet, refuse all kinds of easy-to-eat foods such as fish, shrimp and seafood, and eat less beef and mutton. Give priority to with light diet. Otherwise the cough will get worse. At the same time, we should distinguish whether the baby has a hot cough or a cold cough.
