Cough is a major symptom of the lung system and a condition in Chinese medicine, and is a common and frequent disease in children. Its symptoms are often seen in diseases such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and lung abscess. With the increasing incidence, pediatric cough is a concern for parents and a topic of worry and distress. When a child develops a cough, parents often rush to the hospital for a drip, as if antimicrobial agents are the only best remedy. What can be done to prevent and treat cough in children? This is a hot topic of concern for parents. The author would like to share his personal views and opinions on the clinical conditions of many patients and the several aspects that need attention in the prevention and treatment: 1. In time to eliminate the evil, early relief of symptoms, to achieve the effect of recovery. If the cough gradually worsens, or is accompanied by fever, shortness of breath and other symptoms, it is worthwhile to actively seek help from Chinese medicine when considering seeking medical treatment. As one of the precious cultural treasures, the unique advantages and characteristics of Chinese medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of cough and pneumonia are worthy of promotion and development. 2. Rational use of drugs: The advantages and role of antibacterial and antiviral drugs in the treatment of certain diseases cannot be denied. However, at the beginning of a cough, the admonition is never to blindly bet on random antibiotics. This is because there are some viruses that are treated urgently with antimicrobials that simply do not help. In contrast, TCM practitioners first use methods such as “relieving the surface and dispersing the cold”, “promoting the lung and relieving the surface”, and “opening the door and expelling the evil” to dispel the evil in the outside world, which can often achieve twice the effect with half the effort. Chinese medicine believes that if you use the “close the door and stay” and other treatment methods, will bring endless treatment of hidden problems. 3, master the principles of treatment: caution in the use of cough medicine, and do not freely give adult cough preparations to children to take easily. The reason is that there are differences in coughing and changes in the disease. The disease has a new and long course, and the condition is mild or severe. We must first identify the differences between cold, heat, deficiency and reality, and distinguish between phlegm and non-phlegm. It is important to distinguish the differences between cold, heat, deficiency and actuality, and the differences between phlegm and non-phlegm. Although there are differences between external and internal coughs, it is important to be flexible in the treatment. There can be more than 10 different treatments, so it is especially important to master them strictly and to identify the evidence. 4. Pay attention to food taboos: Chinese medicine places great emphasis on food taboos during the illness. Seafood, chicken, spicy, greasy food, and cold products should be strictly avoided because hairy and drinkable products can aggravate the cough, encourage phlegm and dampness, block the qi flow, and aggravate the development and prolongation of the disease process. Especially for children with internal phlegm-heat, hot fruits such as oranges, strawberries and fresh longan should be tasted with caution, as they can easily cause epistaxis and closed stools. 5. Maintain balanced nutrition: Ensure one egg, one fruit and one to two bottles of milk as basic nutrition every day. Adhere to the good eating habit of having three meals a day with whole food as the main food. Develop a balanced nutrition without picky food, no partial food, vegetables and meat with. Pay attention to eating foods containing vinegar such as sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour lotus root and fish, which can increase appetite and strengthen the body’s ability to fight diseases. In particular, parents must be reminded and pay sufficient attention to: cold drinks and beverages are best not to bite, or as little as possible. Chinese medicine has a warning that “cold and cold drinks hurt the lungs”. It is also clinically proven that the more cold products a child eats, the higher the incidence of coughing in the coming year. 6, pay attention to the cold temperature disorders: do not develop the habit of blindly adding clothes and blankets since childhood. Loose clothing is good for growth and development. If you wrap your child’s clothes tightly, it is easy to develop a weak physique as a flower in a greenhouse from an early age. It is recommended to develop good dressing habits from an early age to add half to one more piece of clothing than adults. To create children through the wind and rain, see the world, have the ability to withstand resistance, so that it is suitable for the changing cold and temperature climate change, defense and resistance to external aggression. 7, moderate to strengthen exercise: because of the air, water quality, the environment and other factors, the child’s physical fitness has a declining trend, and strengthen exercise, enhance physical fitness, is to reduce morbidity, promote healthy growth of strong and favorable measures. According to the age of different, can be moderately enhanced exercise, such as walking, running, playing ball, swimming, etc. are very good aerobic exercise. Swimming, in particular, can enhance lung capacity and also reduce the incidence of respiratory tract. In the outdoor sports need to pay more attention to the cold temperature adjustment, timely increase and decrease clothing, to prevent colds. 8, less to go to the air infection area: weak resistance, allergic children, in the temperature, seasonal changes in time, as little as possible to go to the crowded areas. In the warm spring season, everything rises and falls. Parks and other areas are pollen emitting areas, easy to infest infection and disease. 9, adhere to the principle of prevention: treatment is important, but prevention is more essential. It is especially important to actively implement prevention-oriented. Seriously do a good job of winter and summer treatment and winter conditioning, to lay a solid and good foundation for a healthy body in the coming year. Children are the cells of the family, the flowers of the motherland and the hope of the future. It is our duty and responsibility to work together to protect the health of our children. Chinese medicine advocates that “children’s diseases should be treated in three parts and nourished in seven parts”. For the sake of children’s physical and mental health, we call on the community to care and pay attention to the prevention and treatment of pediatric cough. Let’s work together to reduce the incidence of cough and respiratory diseases in children!
