I’m sure every parent has encountered this problem, the child’s throat seems to have phlegm, coughing sound “empty …… empty ……”, sometimes breathing a little heavier in the throat will The sound of coughing is like phlegm. Whenever you encounter these situations, parents will be very worried about how to get rid of this phlegm! Today, we’ll talk about the problem of “phlegm in children” in detail! There are two most common cases of phlegm in children. One is respiratory tract infection. Bronchitis, pneumonia, or the recovery period of bronchitis, pneumonia. Many parents wonder, the child has pneumonia, bronchitis, the disease is well, but there is phlegm in the throat, what is this “phlegm” thing ah? In Chinese medicine, the phlegm in the throat of these children is related to their constitution. One is spleen deficiency. Chinese medicine says that the spleen is responsible for transporting water and dampness, so when a child’s spleen is deficient, it will gather dampness and produce phlegm. If the phlegm is white and thin, this is “cold phlegm”. If it’s cold, it’s hot. At this time, we must take to warm the lung, strengthen the spleen, and resolve phlegm to regulate. It is the doctor’s job to use medicine. What should parents do? It’s simple, let your child eat more yam. Steamed, cooked porridge, cooked dishes, etc., all in. Just find a way to get your child to eat it. The yam is a good thing for children, into the lungs, lungs, kidneys and three meridians, and is a “flat tonic” (flat tonic is the role of the tonic is relatively calm, children eat generally will not appear on fire and other situations). The spleen can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness and phlegm; the lung can strengthen the lung and prevent respiratory diseases; the kidney can improve the child’s immunity. You can also boil water with barley for children to drink, barley this thing, recently have been fried rotten, but the effect of dampness is still very good, boil water for children to drink, dampness and phlegm cure. The “cold phlegm”, there will certainly be “hot phlegm”, some children’s phlegm is smelly, yellow, this time we need to clear the heat to resolve phlegm. Three or five slices of white radish, three or five Chuanbei, boil water for the child to drink can be. White radish, eliminate food stagnation, ventilate the air and clear heat. Chuanbei, (I bought Chuanbei for my child a while ago, a gram of several dollars, so expensive ah, but for the sake of the child, bite the bullet, still have to buy ah.) Expensive is a bit expensive, but for children is also a good thing ah, four effects, moisten the lungs, phlegm, cough and asthma. The actual good thing? The second is not diet. There are many children although not bronchitis pneumonia or recovery period, but usually good overeating. When it comes to good food, there is no restraint, this time will be food accumulation, affecting the spleen and stomach transport. In Chinese medicine, this means that a poor diet damages the spleen and stomach, resulting in a malfunction of transportation and digestion, which generates dampness and phlegm. At this time, you can boil water with raw hawthorn and drink it. Nowadays, it is very easy to find hawthorn in the market, but many parents may have doubts, isn’t hawthorn only able to eliminate food stagnation? In addition to “strengthening the spleen and appetite, eliminating food stagnation”, hawthorn itself can also “activate the blood to resolve phlegm”.
