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 are very worried about how the phlegm will go away! I am also a parent, also encountered such a heartbreaking situation ah. Today we will talk about the problem of “children with phlegm” in detail! The most common two cases of phlegm in children a. respiratory tract infection bronchitis, pneumonia, or recovery from 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 should take measures to warm the lung, strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm. If you don’t eat properly, you damage your spleen and stomach, which leads to malfunction of transportation and digestion, producing dampness and phlegm. What should parents do? It’s simple, let your child eat more yams. Eat 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. The four main effects are to moisten the lungs, dissolve phlegm, stop coughing and calm asthma. Is it a good thing? The actual fact is that there are many children who are not pneumonia or recovering from bronchitis, but are usually good at overeating. The actual fact is that there is no restraint when it comes to good food, and this is when food accumulates and affects the spleen and stomach’s transportation. 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”.
