There is no great difficulty in treating the disease of food accumulation in Chinese medicine. First of all, it is necessary to identify the evidence accurately, and choose the appropriate antiphlogistic and qi-regulating drugs to form a formula, so that the accuracy of the medication is stronger, and of course, there are also proprietary Chinese medicines available. Secondly, parents should be instructed to feed their children reasonably and change their unreasonable eating habits so as not to cause new food accumulation. For children with mild disease, they will be fine in a few days, and for those with severe disease, they should have significant effect after half a month of adjustment. However, some of the patients with food accumulation, after getting better with treatment, will have another attack, or repeatedly do not heal. Case 1 Today, a grandmother brought her 4-year-old grandson to see a doctor. The old lady said that the child did not like to eat much before. Last month, after the child took Chinese medicine for two weeks, the situation was much better and he could eat by himself and was willing to eat vegetables, so the family was quite happy. However, for some reason, yesterday, the child stopped eating and had bad breath, and was a little nauseous in the morning. Why is this happening? Is it because the Chinese medicine is not working well? I asked about the child’s diet and it turned out that this was the case. The child’s appetite increased significantly after taking the antibiotic, and he began to know that he was hungry, and his food intake also increased significantly. The night before last, the grandmother wrapped celery and meat stuffed buns, the child was so happy that he ate three large buns in one gulp, the grandmother also felt that he had eaten a little too much, after all, only a 4-year-old child, will not eat bad ah? At that time, I wanted to stop it, but I couldn’t bear to. The child has always been a poor eater, and although her appetite has recently improved, her weight has not yet increased, and she is still skinny and miserable. I used to make food for my child, but he wouldn’t eat it. Now the child wants to eat, if you really do not let eat, how cruel it is. Besides, eating three buns is not necessarily too much. Recently, the child’s appetite has come up and he eats more than before. The grandmother took a chance and watched her child happily eat enough. I never thought that the next day, the child suddenly did not want to eat anything, bad breath came out again, and the tongue was white. I had no choice but to come back to the hospital to take a look at it. Generally speaking, as long as the patient comes to the hospital with food accumulation, we often tell the parents that eating is the child’s own business, so eat as much as you want to, but eat less if you don’t want to, and don’t eat too much. This parent only remembered the phrase “eat as much as you want”, but failed to understand the last phrase, “never eat too much”, correctly. First of all, we must be clear about what causes food accumulation, which is the result of overfeeding. Therefore, at no time should a child eat too much, and at any time, if the food is in excess and the spleen and stomach cannot digest it in time, it will become food accumulation. When you get food accumulation, you really don’t eat later, which is called plucking. In the process of food accumulation management, some children’s appetite grows very fast, which is a good thing, but if the parents do not know, they may get into trouble. Look at this child, after the appetite has increased, especially when there is a large number of food needs, parents let down their vigilance, so much food at once, not to mention such a small child, even adults, such an excessive amount may not be able to digest. Be sure to keep an eye on the amount of food your child eats, which is the most important part of diet management. Some parents say that it is the children themselves to eat. We should be clear, after all, children are children, self-management ability is far from standard, so parents need to supervise. Children eat less, parents can not care, because less to eat is not bad hunger. But when the child’s appetite suddenly increased, must go to control the firm, because the child will hold up bad. At this time, the best way is to allow the child to gradually increase the amount of food, so that the spleen and stomach can slowly adapt to such a process. The biggest fear during this period is to re-injure the food. Once the food accumulation is caused, then everything will have to start from the beginning again. I would like to remind you that if your child has a strong appetite and eats a lot after conditioning, it is not a good thing. Many children slowly turn from a small thin child to a big fat one after their food accumulation is well, which is not good either. Chinese medicine says that the diet from the times, the intestines and stomach is hurt. Excessive diet will definitely hurt the spleen and stomach, for this point, young parents do not necessarily recognize, because they are in their prime, the spleen and stomach function is extremely strong, eat a little more, or eat a little more, there is not necessarily a problem. So, who dare not eat more? The elderly. The elderly are not afraid to eat more. Why? People are old, the stomach and intestines are also old, the function is not up, before the amount of food can be digested, now can not be digested, if you eat more, several days gastrointestinal discomfort. What to do? Try to eat less, especially at night, can not eat, so that the stomach is more comfortable. There is no disagreement that the elderly should eat less of this situation. But for children to eat less, the parents’ ideas are quite different. Most parents think that children are developing, so they can eat as much as they want. The implication is that, don’t look at the child is small, the gastrointestinal function is strong. This common misconception may be a very important factor that leads to the high incidence of food accumulation in children.
