The summer heat is unbearable, many people are feeling lethargic, loss of appetite, irritable, cold and fever, in short, just not very comfortable. I learned from the Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine emergency, spleen and stomach disease, pulmonary disease department, etc., into the hot weather since the gastrointestinal discomfort, cold and fever patients increased by 40%, and some people in order to body “dampness”, eat some spicy products, but eat vomiting and diarrhea. Experts reminded, do not blindly for “dampness” and over-eating spicy, so as not to stimulate the stomach and intestines and other diseases, you can eat more corn, coix seeds, lentils, winter melon and other foods to strengthen the spleen and stomach, dampness, both safe and healthy. The parents thought that the child’s summer food is not fresh caused by bacterial infection, nothing, let her take some anti-inflammatory drugs, which know that the same day at 11:00 pm, she pulled 6 to 7 times in a row, white face, accompanied by high fever, parents rushed it to the hospital for treatment. According to Xiao Ling parents recall, because the child’s appetite has been bad for two days, light food bite not eat, for three consecutive nights to buy pickled fish, fried chicken wings and other spicy and stimulating food to “drain the wet”, for her appetite, did not expect but diarrhea. According to experts, hot and humid weather, easily triggered by diarrhea, many people think that diarrhea is because the diet does not pay attention to hygiene and other external causes triggered. The spleen is responsible for transporting nutrients, absorbing them and running them throughout the body, and is an earth in the five elements, so it likes dryness and is bad for moisture. Children’s resistance is poor, the summer humidity weather on the spleen and stomach, coupled with the stimulation of spicy foods, external humidity plus external heat will cause the gastrointestinal summer humidity hard to bear, resulting in abdominal pain, diarrhea. Tang Weihong also stressed that many people think diarrhea is to eat bad stomach, find a few antibiotics to eat, in fact, this often does not play a role in stopping diarrhea. The spleen dampness causes diarrhea not necessarily because of germs, but because of the spleen and stomach disorder, when the use of antibiotics is not effective, often patients do not have inflammation, indicators are normal, then as long as according to the Chinese medicine evidence-based treatment, spleen transport and dampness, regulate the spleen and stomach, you can improve the symptoms. In addition, do not eat too cold food in hot and humid weather, eat more food to strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, but also appropriate warm tonic, so that dampness with the urine and stool out.
