According to traditional Chinese medicine, food accumulation is when a child consumes too much of a particular food, exceeding the digestive capacity of the spleen and stomach, resulting in spleen and stomach dysfunction. If the food is not digested and absorbed in a timely manner, it will accumulate and generate heat and fire. If a child eats too much, or is too highly nutritious, it exceeds the maximum capacity of the spleen and stomach to digest and absorb. This is when a lot of food cannot be digested and absorbed in a timely manner. In this way, it will damage the function of the spleen and stomach, making the digestion and absorption function even worse, thus forming food accumulation. And then it will be accumulated to generate heat and fire, manifested as thick tongue, bad breath, red lips, yellow urine, dry stools, usually very good children become irritable and annoying. Children food accumulation, injury to the spleen and stomach, in addition to anorexia, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea and other digestive disorders, once cold, the formation of internal heat and external cold, that is, Chinese medicine said “lantern fire”, fever, cough, bronchitis and even pneumonia and other respiratory diseases. Many parents do not understand the pediatric accumulation of food affects the digestive function, how can also fever, cough, bronchitis, pneumonia and other diseases related to it?

Chinese medicine believes that there is a connection between all five organs. Accumulation of food will lead to dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, which in turn affects the lungs, with the spleen as the source of phlegm and the lungs as the storage of phlegm. When food accumulates for a long time, the spleen and stomach are weak, and the dysfunction of transportation is easy to produce phlegm, and phlegm is stored in the lungs, which leads to coughing. When phlegm obstructs the lungs, it turns into heat and injures the lungs. In layman’s terms, phlegm is blocked in the lungs, coupled with the lower immunity of children, secondary bacterial infection, induced bronchitis or pneumonia. Once a child is sick that infusion, an infusion of immune function decline, immune function decline coupled with the conditioning is not timely and soon again sick, and then sick again infusion, the child’s body is getting worse and worse, repeated infusion of a vicious cycle, the formation of repeated respiratory tract infections.
