What to do about recurrent respiratory infections in children

  Pediatric recurrent respiratory infections, referred to as “recurrent children”, “susceptible children”, refers to the recurrent occurrence of colds, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and other respiratory tract infections over a period of time, is a common disease in children, because of its frequent occurrence, seriously affecting the healthy growth of children. Because of its frequent occurrence, it seriously affects the healthy growth of children. Western medicine believes that the cause of this disease is the result of the interaction of various factors, among which immune deficiency is one of the main factors, but the exact pathogenesis is not yet fully understood. In terms of treatment, antibiotics are mainly used in the acute stage and immunomodulators or trace element supplementation are used in the remission stage; Chinese medicine has the advantages of holistic regulation and evidence-based treatment, especially in the “treatment of the untreated”. The name of this disease does not exist in the ancient literature of Chinese medicine. According to the clinical manifestations, it can be classified as “cold with deficiency”, “prolonged cough”, “pneumonia and cough”, “deficiency”, “spontaneous sweating”, etc. According to the clinical manifestations, the disease can be classified as “body weakness cold”, “long cough”, “pneumonia and wheezing”, “deficiency evidence”, “spontaneous sweating” and other disease categories, all due to physical weakness susceptible to evil. Chinese medicine believes that children are infantile Yin and Yang body, the internal organs are delicate, the form of Qi is not full, the lungs, spleen and kidneys are insufficient. The lung is weak and the external guard is not solid, so it is easy to be exposed to evil. The spleen is the mother organ of the lung, and the spleen and stomach transport water and grain essence to nourish the lung qi. Therefore, the three organs coordinate with each other and are interdependent.  If the three organs of the lungs, spleen and kidneys are dysfunctional and their ability to resist evil decreases, the patient will repeatedly feel external evil, and the evil poison will stay for a long time. The Department of Pediatrics of our hospital has been engaged in theoretical and clinical research on the treatment of pediatric recurrent respiratory tract infections for many years, and the sequential treatment of pediatric recurrent respiratory tract infections: treating the symptoms in an emergency during the attack period and treating the root cause in a slow manner during normal times, especially the cream formula on the third nine days and the winter disease and summer treatment compress on the third volcano day, together with the usual treatment of the hospital preparation Jianshuanyi lung oral liquid, thus forming a unique seamless sequential treatment throughout the year. Among them, the winter disease summer treatment compress therapy has a long history, with the characteristics of simple, convenient, inexpensive and experimental, since ancient times “good doctors do not waste external treatment”, drug point compress, as a common method of external treatment, through the meridian conduction, to reach the relevant internal organs, to get a higher concentration of drugs than when oral, injection, under the dual action of drugs and meridian effect, to play a good The therapeutic effect, and through skin penetration and absorption through the skin, can avoid the damage of the drug to the gastrointestinal tract and liver, and also avoid the influence of the gastrointestinal tract and liver on the drug, thus improving the utilization of the drug.  ”It is a unique external treatment method of Chinese medicine, which integrates the knowledge of many disciplines such as Chinese medicine, seasonal medicine and immunology, mainly during a specific period of time. It is mainly applied during a specific period of time, i.e. during the three days of the Chinese lunar calendar, using the method of acupuncture point application, through the stimulation of Chinese medicine on the body acupuncture points. It stimulates the function of the meridians, harmonizes the qi and blood. It improves blood circulation, promotes and adjusts the body’s immune function, mobilizes the body’s inherent ability to resist disease, and thus achieves the same internal and external treatment. It is used to prevent and treat diseases that tend to attack or worsen in winter, referred to as “winter diseases”. It reflects the idea of “treating the disease before it happens” in Chinese medicine.
