What's the matter with the "blue veins" on the bridge of the child's nose?
What do people say about the "blue veins" on the bridge of a child's nose?
In the past, the legend said that "the root of the mountain, the tendon of the mother". If the baby sees "blue veins" exposed at the root of the nose after birth, it may be that the child is weak and sick, and may be sick soon.
The old man said: Believe it or not, since my children were seen with this blue vein when they were young, the serious and minor illnesses have not stopped, and since they grew up without seeing the veins, the children are not sick; Well-documented, it really fulfills the old man's " experience " way.
In real life, every time a child suddenly has convulsions, fever, coughing, anorexia, and worms in the stomach, people will talk about the "blue veins" on the bridge of the nose.
However, with the development of the times and social progress, especially the development of modern medicine, scientists continue to research and introduce various advanced medical diagnosis and treatment technologies; And technology plays an objective role in clinical practice, and there are also popular angiography techniques, which can better illustrate that the so-called "blue veins" on the bridge of a child's nose are an objective existence.
The "blue veins" on the bridge of a child's nose that people know is a method of inspecting through subjective inspection. It is uncertain and cannot be seen or touched; , more objective. We are definitely not denying the broad and profound Chinese medicine of the motherland here, but that there is a difference between objective things and subjective wishes.
Why does the "blue vein" on the bridge of the nose sometimes appear and sometimes not?
From the perspective of modern medicine and natural science, the so-called "blue vein" on the bridge of a child's nose is a very common and natural phenomenon after the baby is born - the subcutaneous superficial vein , is actually like this The "blue veins" are present in everyone.
The blood vessels on the bridge of the nose are not "blue veins"
Explain from physiology and anatomy, this is the superficial venous blood tube that can be seen with the naked eye under the skin, because the skin of the child is thin, fair and transparent, at the root of the bridge of the nose The subcutaneous tissue is less, so is easy to see clear veins , when our is in brighter natural light, the cyan will be more obvious. In the dim light of , you may not see the blood vessels here.
If you lightly press the skin here with your finger abdomen, the blue color of the natural blood vessels will be invisible. That is because there is no venous blood flow back temporarily after the acupressure blood vessels, and it will naturally be invisible.
As you get older, you can't see the "blue vein" on the bridge of the nose.
Some parents will ask: whether we believe it or not, what is this "blue vein" at the root of the bridge of the nose? disappear from our eyes? As long as you can't see it, you will be reassured.
In fact, because this is the subcutaneous vein of the baby, it is a physiological phenomenon that exists objectively and will not disappear.It's just that with the growth and development of the child, the subcutaneous tissue of becomes more and more abundant, the skin thickens, the color of the skin becomes darker, and the skin becomes darker after exposure to sunlight. Then, the blood vessels are generally invisible to the naked eye, Therefore, parents do not need to be too concerned about the blue veins on the bridge of the baby's nose.
Why do people say that children with "blue veins" on the bridge of the nose tend to get sick?
Some people say that the blue veins on the bridge of the nose is a symbol of food accumulation , being frightened, poor spleen and stomach, and infirm, then let's see what Chinese medicine says:
The Shangen point just overlaps with the blood vessels here.
The Shangen point on the bridge of the child's nose is The source of the Yangming Stomach Meridian is , and the collaterals of the inner canthal angle of the left and right eyes are in the same position at the root of the mountain.
Chinese medicine paediatrics book " young children integrated " also mentioned: "the root of the mountain, the origin of the stomach vein of foot yangming; in most children without injury to the spleen and stomach, the vein of the mountain root does not appear". It shows that the Shangen acupoint is related to the spleen and stomach of children. Therefore, when the so-called "blue veins" appear in the "Shangen acupoint", Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are deficient and the energy is insufficient. In general, the spleen is born with gold and the lungs are also deficient, so children are prone to colds, coughs, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, and poor digestion. from this principle.
Chinese medicine also believes that the shapes of the three and are different, which also indicate different diseases. If the child's mountain roots are vertical strips , , it means that the anger can easily reach the lungs , be careful that the child will have high fever , convulsions, lung respiratory disease , if children have a cold, cough, respiratory disease, poor digestion, low immunity.
"Blue veins" vertical bars mostly indicate respiratory diseases.
If the root of the mountain is horizontal, the anger can easily reach the spleen and stomach., This is a child. (like opening eyes)", diarrhea and other symptoms.
In addition, the liver hides the soul, and the liver is also related to emotions. Children with "mountain roots and tendons" are more likely to be frightened, have stagnant liver qi, be impatient, sleep unsteady, and cry. This is the interpretation of Shangen acupoint in traditional Chinese medicine, and it also has a certain theoretical basis. Just different opinions.
The “blue veins” horizontal bar is considered by traditional Chinese medicine to be a problem of the spleen and stomach.
Usually, we should not understand this so-called “blue veins” phenomenon in isolation. To see if the child is sick, we should combine some objective substances, such as laboratory and imaging examinations. , Comprehensive clinical symptoms, medical history characteristics, comprehensive analysis of the child's problems.
In addition, as the saying goes: "Blue veins hang on the nose, cry for three times"; it means that babies with blue veins on the nose are particularly prone to crying, have a big temper, and have a bad temperament.
From the perspective of dialectical materialism , a capillary is unlikely to have an impact on a child's temperament and temper; only when a child's health has problems, its spirit, mood, diet and sleep will be affected.
3. So how can we strengthen the immunity of children who are frail and sick as children?
We have repeatedly introduced the topic of how to enhance children's immunity, improve physical fitness, and make children less sick, such as
Exercise
We should not treat children as flowers in the greenhouse, let them stay at home, Not seeing the sun or exercising is not conducive to the child's body's ability to adapt. Once there is trouble, the child will not be able to withstand the wind and rain. For example, you should take your child to do gymnastics outdoors, do some ball games, running and other aerobic exercise .
3. Inoculate various vaccines on time :
Vaccination
We all know that vaccination can play a very good role in the prevention of various infectious diseases in children. Parents should follow the immunization program to vaccinate their children , including the first class, class II vaccine .
In parenting, instead of worrying about the "blue veins" on the bridge of the child's nose, it is better to take scientific parenting and care. The "blue veins" on the bridge of the nose do not need parents to care too much except that it affects the appearance slightly. As your baby grows and his skin thickens and roughens, this superficial vein becomes less conspicuous.
