Introduction: As air pollution becomes more and more serious, more and more children are troubled by allergic rhinitis. Here, the author analyzes the performance of children from the perspective of “wind, dampness, drinking, heat, fire, turbidity” and other etiological factors, and clarifies the areas that should be paid attention to in daily care. Doctors should not only know this themselves, but also spread it to the parents of the children to face the disease together. The common causes of allergic rhinitis and care taboos As air pollution becomes more and more serious, more and more children are troubled by allergic rhinitis, often with a large amount of nasal discharge and tears, and a large number of oral and topical medications are used, but they never get better. In fact, the recurrence of allergic rhinitis and improper care of the parents of the affected children have a lot to do with it, and they should be told. The first thing that should be clear is that the cause of allergic rhinitis that we are discussing is not the results of the allergen test that the child has undergone in the hospital, but rather the Chinese medicine’s understanding of the cause of allergic rhinitis. The main lesion site of most allergic rhinitis is the nose, which is on the surface of the body compared to the internal organs inside. In clinical practice, glucocorticosteroids are the first-line drugs in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, but if hormonal drugs are used for a long time to spray the nose, hormones are immunosuppressive, and it will inhibit the body’s original rejection reaction (such as sneezing), although the symptoms of rhinitis are temporarily reduced, but the causes of the disease, such as wind, dampness, drinking, heat, fire and turbidity, which are considered by Chinese medicine to cause the disease, will always remain in the body locally and become the body’s The “reserved program” can also lead to other more serious diseases from the internal organs of the body. Chinese medicine treatment of allergic rhinitis is to remove the wind, dampness, drink, heat, fire, turbidity and other causes of disease in the table, to achieve the purpose of treatment, rather than inhibit the body’s rejection, so first you must gradually stop using a variety of hormonal drugs spray nose, and then only with Chinese medicine treatment. The parents of the children should know that Chinese medicine is reliable in treating allergic rhinitis, and short-term treatment can reduce the symptoms, and there are precedents of long-term treatment, but care is especially important in the treatment process, and whether or not proper care determines whether or not rhinitis can be eradicated, and the care of rhinitis caused by different causes varies. As many of you may have noticed, allergic rhinitis mostly occurs after delayed or improper treatment of various colds, with the main symptoms of the cold disappearing, leaving localized symptoms in the nose for a long time. Clinical symptoms are generally seen as nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose; itchy nose, itchy then sneeze; like to twitch nostrils, there is retracing snot that nasal snot inhaled into the mouth and then spit out, etc.. The following is how to tell the parents of children to distinguish the causes from the symptoms and how to take care of the children according to the different causes of wind, dampness, drinking, heat, fire and turbidity. The first is itchy nose, often rubbing the nose and twitching the nostrils. Second, sneezing, mostly continuous sneezing. Third, nasal tinnitus, i.e. nasal sound is obvious when speaking. The fourth is bad wind, that is, the child will feel cold when blowing wind, infants and toddlers do not express cold, but often show that they like to go into the arms of parents when blowing wind, parents should carefully observe. Fifth, itchy eyes, often rubbing eyes. Sixth is the body itch, like to own or let parents scratch. The above symptoms can last a long time, or blowing wind symptoms significantly aggravated, is also a basis for judgment. Care: It is advisable to avoid the wind and avoid blowing wind. Parents should observe the weather before going out. If the leaves are moving, it is a secondary wind, and if the wind is above secondary, the child should not go out. When you are indoors, you need to avoid the wind through the hall, that is, the large wind formed by the convection of windows and doors. Children with itchy bodies should avoid chicken, shrimp and crab in their diet. The first is to blow more white sticky nasal mucus often. At this time, parents can blow the nose on a tissue to observe whether the color and texture are sticky. Secondly, the child feels his own nose i. Thirdly, the retrospective snot is white and sticky or grey in color. Fourth, the usual nasal snot is not much, but every time after drinking hot water or hot soup, more white sticky snot is saved. Fifthly, the child feels light in the mouth since, that is, he feels no taste in the mouth, and he feels no taste in the mouth when he eats. Sixth, the palate is yellowish, this parents can use a white flashlight to shine on the palate for observation; but note that the LED flashlights on the market are with blue light, the flashlight on the cell phone is close to white light instead. Seven is fatigue, the affected child often cry tired, or watch TV are like lying on the sofa to see, go out and walk to hold, which is not necessarily petulant. Eight is hand self-temperature, that is, the temperature of the fingers or palm back of the hand is higher than the temperature of the skin of the forearm, note that the normal skin temperature are proximal (forearm) than distal (fingers or palm back of the hand) hot; this disease because of wet children just the opposite, and the fingers or palm back of the hand touching the implication of heat, the more touching the hotter, as if the heat has a backbone, this symptom is of greater significance to the diagnosis of the cause of wet. Care: the cause of wet mainly avoid washing the nose with cold water, avoid swimming, avoid getting wet; wash the face should be hot water, dress with two warm, after sweating should be dry towel stuffed back; diet, eat less animal fat, avoid drinking milk, avoid eating raw cold, all below the oral temperature should be heated to eat, eat fruit also need to be heated. Whether or not to drink water according to the child’s own will, do not force the child to drink water. The first is that nasal congestion changes rapidly with the change of position when lying on the side, i.e. the left side of the nasal congestion when lying on the left side, and immediately becomes the right side of the nasal congestion after changing to the right side, usually within 15~20 seconds. Second, the child sneezes and then flows a lot of clear nasal snot, the snot has great mobility, the snot can directly drip down, and even the snot will directly flow into the bowl when eating; the snot is slightly torn silk, and the snot can be seen as transparent silk when observed with a tissue. In terms of care: it is appropriate to dress with two warmth, whether to drink water according to the child’s self-will, do not force the child to drink water. Children with mainly heat evil Firstly, there is more yellow thick snot. Secondly, the retrospective snot is yellow with a thick texture. Third, sneezing when smelling chili pepper. Fourth, the child is thirsty and drinks more water, and likes to drink cold water or even ice water. Fifth, the eyes are closed then sweating, that is, the child starts to sweat when he/she has just fallen asleep, and the sweating stops when the child is asleep; this symptom is more significant for the diagnosis of etiological fever. Sixth, forehead swelling and pain. Nursing care: those whose etiology is predominantly heat should avoid a stuffy environment; it is advisable to eat less spicy barbecue in the diet. Children with fire-dominated disease First, epistaxis is frequent, even once a week, with bright red blood. Secondly, dry and painful nose, self-conscious dryness and pain in the nasal cavity or hot breath coming from the nose. Third, bitterness in the mouth. Care: For those with fire as the main cause of the disease, avoid spicy barbecue in the diet. Children with a predominantly turbid evil One is sneezing when smelling oil smoke. Second, continuous sneezing when in a dusty environment or when packing a closet. Third, oily ears, i.e. earwax that is oily rather than dry. Fourth, fox odor. Care: If the cause of the disease is mainly turbidity, you can drink more lotus leaf boiled water in place of tea, and you also need to treat with turbidity-transforming drugs. Caution with the etiology of dampness-based. The above diagnostic basis for each type of etiology is not involved in the tongue and pulse, which require high professional observation. Individual symptoms with greater diagnostic significance, such as warmth in the hands and sweating when the eyes are together, can be diagnosed with only one more diagnostic basis of the same kind. Other than that, the rest require two or more symptoms or signs as a basis for diagnosis. The common categories of clinical etiology are wind-drink, wind-cold-damp, wind-damp-heat, etc., which need to be considered in a comprehensive manner in terms of care. In addition, there are also some children with Qi deficiency and Yin deficiency. The manifestation of qi deficiency is the bad wind, that is, feeling cold when blowing wind. Children often get goose bumps on their skin after blowing or getting cold, which disappear in about half a minute. The second is a slight cold fear, that is, fear of cold, usually wear more clothes than other children. Thirdly, the child often gets cold.

Second, dry throat. Third, waking up in the middle of the night with dry mouth and drinking less water each time. Fourth is often hoarse voice. Care: Children with Yin deficiency should not stay up all night; it is advisable to eat more sea cucumber, abalone, cuttlefish, light vegetables and other products that nourish Yin. Having said all this, it is not only for the doctor to understand but also for the parents of the child to understand that it is important to take good care of allergic rhinitis according to its etiology. The nose is greatly affected by the external environment and the symptoms are prone to recurrence. During the treatment process, if parents of children can be taught to observe the condition carefully, give the above-mentioned care according to the different causes of the disease and cooperate with the systematic and regular treatment, they can help their children recover health as soon as possible.
