Why do children still have recurrent colds and coughs?

  Whenever the seasons change, the number of pediatric patients will surge, and the pediatric department will come to some children with recurrent colds, fever, coughs, wheezing or pneumonia, and such parents often take their children around with them, but often the clinical effect is not good, and the disease continues to be frequent. Most of these parents say an endless, painful, and always wonder why, now that living conditions are so good, the diet is so focused on nutrition, care is so careful, why the child’s physique is getting worse and worse? Some of them are almost inseparable from the hospital, five days a small illness, half a month a big illness, either hanging water, or take medicine. What exactly causes a child’s repeated cough, fever and wheezing? There are many reasons for the high morbidity rate of children, including congenital endowment problems and acquired factors. In other words, the philosophy and behavior of parents play an important role in the occurrence, development and treatment of the disease.  The problem of fetal pregnancy, the problem of fetal preservation, the nutrition of pregnant women and the appropriate exercise during pregnancy, the birth of a normal birth or a planned birth, etc. Let’s not talk about the problem of child care first, after the child is born, we are basically raising the child according to personal experience or personal feelings. Now the child is superficially carefree, nutritious, but from my point of view is suffering, children eat basic autonomy, what to eat, eat are less, drink or not drink milk, etc. are to adults to say.  The children are only talking about nutrition, not nutritionally balanced, not physical, all day long, afraid of children lack of calcium, indiscriminately drink milk or dairy products, resulting in children’s food or milk accumulation in the minority, such children are irritable, dry stools, constipation, bad breath, like to sleep on their stomachs at night, easy to sweat, tonsils pus or cold and cough. And rough food, meat and vegetables with safe food not to eat, snacks, drinks every day, daily intake of a large number of food additives, coloring, high sugar, high protein, high cholesterol, should not eat every day to eat.  Many children’s grandparents because of the growing environment of the year lack of food and clothing, especially afraid of poor child nutrition, coupled with the advertising bombardment, resulting in milk and some children’s drinks have been deeply rooted in the hearts of people, what do not drink milk children will be malnourished, will be deficient in calcium, milk changed a race and so on, will not take into account the child’s physique needs, suitable or not, get sick with this there is no relationship, will only blindly follow the trend, all drink milk. Drinking milk is just one example, there are many such cases, including feeding vegetables and drinking water, etc. There are also many problems.  Secondly, add clothing, most of the elderly are required to wear more, young parents are often required to wear less, in fact, how much or according to the child’s physique to determine, such as gas deficiency children, often prone to cold hands and feet, then parents a touch of hands and feet cold some think is to wear less, that is also not right, this child in the absence of strenuous exercise you can put your hand from the neck to see if the back is cold, sweat hair is not If it is, then it is wearing less, wearing less is easy to catch a cold; if it is a lot of sweat touching the back, sweat hair is not standing up, and warmer then it must be the top wear more; normal state from the neck to touch the back should be warm, slightly moist feeling. Dressing is also just an example, such as weather changes, how to dispose of after exercise, food accumulation and Yin deficiency of children’s clothing will also be changed, in short, is not the more or less the better, to distinguish the children’s physique and so on is also very important.  Again, sleep, adequate sleep for children’s growth and health is very important, children should have gone to bed earlier, but now there are many children night owls, some have a degree of sleep disorders, either can not sleep, or sleep is not good, or sleep less. Many parents are afraid that their children do not sleep often drink milk or dairy products before bedtime, want to let the child sleep is often cheat the child to sleep, but did not take into account that it will increase the burden on the child’s stomach and intestines, resulting in poorer sleep at night or alarm crying and other situations, but also not conducive to children’s oral hygiene and early morning breakfast intake. Children do not sleep well, it is difficult to recover the energy of the day, resistance will also be reduced.  Then, is the movement, the child itself is lively and active, in the activities and games in the sense of the world, strong body, but now many children are raised, good food and lazy, busy every day to learn to learn, and even kindergarten with illness also to learn a lot, such a way of work and rest, how can the child’s body get better?  Finally, from the point of view of treatment, children’s physique is relatively weak adults, poor resistance to external evil, cold, cough, and even wheezing may be a little more, fever, cough, wheezing, is normal, generally normal symptomatic treatment can be, such as colds to distinguish between viral colds, or bacterial colds, whether to use antibiotics, if antibiotics are oral or hanging water, in the end with that type of antibiotics and so on, is It is necessary to consider the severity of the child’s illness and the characteristics of the disease and blood tests.  The actual fact is that it’s not advisable to overly hang water or overly protect the child from blood tests, which will only make the disease succeed and the child suffer. And the use of proprietary Chinese medicine, etc. Nowadays, most parents do not understand what is a cold or cough, what is a wind-heat cold or cough, not to mention what is internal heat and external sensation or cold packet of fire evidence of a cold or cough, often do not distinguish between indications for the use of drugs, such as a cold does not distinguish between hot and cold, just as people do not distinguish between men or women, children or the elderly, the efficacy must be different ah, or even randomly buy some cold and cough Chinese medicine Or Chuanbei pear stew and so on are not obtainable.  Such children must identify their constitution, distinguish between hot and cold, cold phlegm or hot phlegm, real or deficient asthma, qi deficiency or yin deficiency, and so on, so that they can choose a reasonable Chinese medicine or herbal treatment or conditioning.  I hope to draw the attention of parents, let us think together, pay attention to life, care, treatment in some common sense issues, hope that the child soon healthy, over-protection, over treatment, often not conducive to the growth of children, give children a healthy body, is what we should do together.
