With the recent sudden drop in temperature in many parts of the country, the number of patients with respiratory tract infections in children is on the rise. The initial manifestation of fever is mainly high, and it is mostly high, 39-40 degrees, accompanied by a slight cough and runny nose, and the cough is obvious after the fever subsides. Fever is as short as 2-3 days, and fever is as long as 1 week. In some children, the fever is high again after 1-2 days of normal body temperature. During the fever, the fever does not go down well with various antipyretic drugs, or the body temperature drops slightly, but soon rises again. Some babies have convulsions due to high fever. Most of the recent respiratory infections are caused by viral infections. Routine blood tests indicate that the total white blood cell count is not high, the neutral classification is slightly high, and even in the later stages of the disease the total white blood cell count can be lower than normal. Antibiotics cannot fight viral infections, so parents are cautioned not to rush to give oral or sedative antibiotics because their child has a high, prolonged fever. Fever is also a response of the autoimmune system to fight the disease. Treatment is usually antiviral, and herbs have better antiviral effects. During the onset of the disease, in addition to taking medication, it is also important to drink more water, take rest and eat a light and digestive diet. In addition, many external treatments in Chinese medicine can also help reduce fever. 1, bloodletting therapy Bloodletting therapy is a kind of external treatment in pediatrics, which is called blood pricking therapy. That is, the use of three-pronged needles or other needles into the “veins”, so that the appropriate amount of blood flow or squeeze out, to achieve the purpose of treatment a unique external treatment method. Blood pricking therapy can be used to relieve heat and detoxification, harmonize Qi and blood, activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, open the meridians, and relieve swelling and pain. According to the evidence of the disease, the corresponding acupuncture point is pricked and a few drops of blood are squeezed out. Generally, the blood is released once, and if it is an acute condition, it can be released again the next day. Most patients get better after 1-2 times of acupuncture and bloodletting. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the marketplace for a long time, and they’ve been in the market for a long time. Apply scraping oil or glycerin to the area to be scraped to play a lubricating role, and choose different parts according to different illnesses. Make the skin appear Gua Sha points. The interval between two scrapings is 3-7 days. Generally operate 1 time. 3, Dazhi piercing cupping method Dazhi point is located in the Governor’s meridian, which is the convergence of the Yang meridian and is an important point for reducing fever. After disinfecting the skin at the Dazhi point, use a trigeminal needle to puncture and bleed, then perform cupping to strengthen the effect of blood stabbing treatment. Generally, 1 time treatment has a good effect of fever reduction. 4, foot bath to reduce fever The human foot is the convergence point of multiple meridians, including the termination point of three Yang meridians (stomach meridian, bile meridian, bladder meridian) and the starting point of three Yin meridians (spleen meridian, liver meridian, kidney meridian). Footbath therapy is a type of TCM external treatment that stimulates foot acupoints, reflex zones and meridians to achieve the purpose of health care and treatment of diseases. According to the principle of diagnosis and treatment in Chinese medicine, the corresponding drugs are selected and decocted in water, and the feet are bathed so that the drugs are absorbed through the skin acupuncture points and exert their effects to achieve the purpose of external treatment of internal diseases. The delicate skin of children makes it easier for the drugs to be absorbed. The foot bath is simple, effective and safe without toxic side effects, and the children comply well. By bathing the feet, it can improve local or systemic blood circulation and lymph circulation, unblock the meridians and regulate nerve function, and promote metabolism. Generally, according to the type of fever, the corresponding drugs are selected and decocted in water, and then foot baths are given at a temperature that the child can tolerate, for 15-20 minutes each time, and the soles of the feet are massaged at the same time. 5.Chinese medicine nebulization or enema treatment The antiviral effect of Chinese medicine is certain, but the child’s compliance is poor due to the poor taste. In fact, the route of administration of Chinese medicine can also be through nebulization or anal administration (also known as enema), which is easier for children to accept than oral administration and has a quick effect, and is also a good treatment method. These methods can be used alone or in combination without adverse effects and without the gastrointestinal discomfort associated with the application of antipyretics. While taking Tylenol, Merlin and other fever-reducing drugs orally, auxiliary application of the above external treatment methods can reduce the number of oral antipyretics and shorten the duration of the disease. Parents are reminded not to take oral antibiotics or intravenous fluids at will because of high or prolonged fever, unless the child vomits significantly, cannot take medication or is in poor mental condition.
