Eight methods of recognizing and treating fever in children

1, the pathophysiological characteristics of pediatric fever pediatric body organs delicate, Wei external function is insufficient, the external environment adaptation and resistance to disease are poorer than adults, after suffering from external evils are very susceptible to fever, the so-called exogenous fever. Clinical occasion, although the surface, heat, real evidence is common, but because the children’s blood is not yet full, Yingwei are weak, the surface of the evil is easy to internal transmission, resulting in the aggravation of the condition, each easy to appear surface with the disease, or hostile stagnation, manifested as vomiting diarrhea, abdominal distension constipation, or hostile phlegm, manifested as coughing and sputum, or hostile alarm, manifested as high fever and irritability, syncope and stupor, the change of the evidence repeatedly appeared, not just one end. Respiratory infectious diseases, intestinal infectious diseases and rash infectious diseases are extremely common causes of fever in pediatrics. Warm disease in the so-called “warm evil up to receive, the first offense lung, reverse transmission pericardium,” the change of the disease situation characteristics also showed more obvious. In addition, due to the maintenance of inappropriate, visceral dysfunction, or food into heat, or heat knot intestinal congestion, or damp-heat paralysis, or blood stasis blockage, or Yingwei dissonance and other factors, all can lead to fever delayed. 2, pediatric fever identification points pediatric fever involves a wide range of diseases, different diseases have their own specific pathogenic factors, the development of the law and prognosis. The same disease is often clinically manifested in the diversity and uncertainty of the symptoms. Different diseases may also be manifested as “different diseases with the same evidence”. Therefore, it is equally important to make a correct diagnosis of the disease and a clear identification of the disease at an early stage, and the identification of the disease must be combined with the identification of the disease. For the clinical identification of pediatric fever, attention should be paid to two points, one is to identify and analyze the type of fever; the second is to identify and analyze the accompanying symptoms. (1) differential analysis of heat ① fever and cold: fever and cold in the early stages of the disease, often suggesting that the surface of the fever, for the fight between evil and positive, the disease in the superficial stage of the lungs and guards, to the wind-cold surface and the wind-heat surface evidence is common. The severity of the malignant cold is the key point of differentiation between the two. Infants and young children can not express the malignant cold, if the high fever and the face is not red or show greenish-yellow, or like people to snuggle, or hair follicles corn up, or no sweating accompanied by the hands and feet are not warm, vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea, etc., can often help in the diagnosis of wind-cold episodes. At the beginning of wind-heat syndrome, although it can be seen briefly cold, but the color of the face is red. Hand and foot warmth can also be seen in the persistent high fever “heat deep syncope deep”; yellow face must be considered in conjunction with the body, and should pay attention to the signs of shock or heart yang deficiency. ② cold and fever: the early stage of the disease or delayed for a few days, fever and chills alternated several times a day. Often suggests that the disease has gradually deepened, is still in the surface of the evil has not yet stopped, the evidence is not yet in the transitional stage, the evidence is “half surface and half inside” or “evil ambush membrane original”. Strong heat: ③ Mostly high fever that does not subside and prolongs for several days, with no cold but bad heat, or flaccid heat, or lingering heat. Often suggests that either the lungs, stomach qi solid heat evidence, or for the stomach and intestines of the accumulation of heat evidence, or for the damp-heat paralytic blockage of the meridians, or for the dampness and warmth blocking the triple jiao, or for the heat of the summer steam steam, or for the evil heat Lord Zhang qi camp two burnt evidence. Hot flashes: the fever fluctuates and comes and goes at regular intervals. Afternoon to evening hot flashes, it is appropriate to distinguish between lung heat and yin deficiency evidence of the difference; evening “sun feeding hot flashes” if there is excessive sweating, thirst, abdominal fullness and pain, constipation, it is often “gastric solid” evidence. (2) differential analysis of the accompanying symptoms ① accompanied by red, swollen and painful throat, or nasal obstruction, shortness of breath, coughing and phlegm, often suggesting that the evil in the lungs of the wind-heat surface evidence, or for the loss of the lungs of the purging and lowering of the air, phlegm and congestion of the lungs of the lungs of the heat of the real evidence. ② accompanied by bad breath and dullness, abdominal fullness and distension, constipation and diarrhea, often suggesting that the gastrointestinal heat of the middle Jiao solid evidence. (3) accompanied by alarm, irritability, wind, when very easy to occur because of, mostly due to the heat of the Lord Zhang, heat extreme wind liver meridian heat; if there is fontanelle filling, vomiting, headache, drowsiness, delirium, coma, limb paralysis or repeated spasms, is mostly due to the warm toxin deep into the camp blood, involving the heart and liver meridians. ④ When accompanied by a rash, the relationship between fever and rash should be based on the relationship between fever and rash to identify the common rash infectious diseases, drug rash or hemorrhagic rash that occurs when heat enters the Ying and Blood. In Chinese medicine clinic, the shape and character of the rash is often used as an important basis for the selection of therapeutic drugs, such as rash shape small color red for the wind heat in the lungs, the treatment should be Qing Xuan penetration; rash shape big color red for the poisonous heat in the stomach, the treatment should be clearing the heat of the spot; rash shape big dense and rash color red, for the severe evidence of warm disease poisonous heat inside the burnt flickering blood, the treatment should be clearing the camp to cool the blood, the blood stasis elimination spot. 3, pediatric fever treatment methods (1) pungent temperature relief method: for the autumn and winter seasons or early spring at the beginning of the first warm and cold when the external wind and cold, the disease in the lungs and guards of the surface evidence.
