The beginning of winter has passed, and children’s “winter cough” enters the peak every year, usually morning and evening coughs, more obvious at night, no fever, no wheezing, conventional cough medicine, Anti-inflammatory drugs are generally not effective.

When many parents hear their children cough, they will think it is a cough caused by a cold. Careful parents will find that their children do not have a characteristic change of colds at this time-"sore throat", which is a seasonal cough. There are many reasons for

to cause "winter cough", most of which occur in children with allergies. It turns out that children with rhinitis and asthma have very sensitive airways, and are not adapted to the day and night changes in temperature, which cause increased neurogenic airway inflammation, and increased irritation of the respiratory tract by substance P that causes coughs, which will cause repeated coughs. Generally, blood routine is normal, and it is normal to take a chest radiograph. Physicians will mostly make judgments based on the severity of the cough. If the cough is mild and short, it will be diagnosed as "cold"; if the cough is severe and the time is long, it will be diagnosed as "tracheitis", which is actually wrong. Acid granulocytes "will increase, which means recent allergies, indicating that anti-allergic drugs or spray treatment is more effective; if chest radiographs indicate "increased lung texture", it does not mean bronchitis, and antibiotics may not be effective.

plus a lot The child has just entered kindergarten, the body is weak, the immune function is immature, it is easy to cause respiratory infections, runny nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing are sometimes difficult to distinguish from rhinitis. The superposition of cold + winter cough will make the problem more complicated. A chronic cough that does not heal is called "internal injury cough" in Chinese medicine.

Cough is not just a matter of the lungs,

all the internal organs can make people cough!

Regarding internal injury cough, the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" says that all the internal organs are coughing. The cause of coughing is very complicated. It is not simply “inflammation of the respiratory tract”. Chronic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis are also the most common causes of coughing in children. The secretions from the nose flow back to the throat and cause coughing. Modern medicine has also confirmed it. There is a chronic cough, not only to check the lungs, but also the various organs of the internal organs will migrate. This has been described clearly in ancient times. It is generally believed that acute cough is in the lungs, chronic cough damages the spleen, and chronic cough damages the kidneys.

It is the key to change the environment in the short-term.

Long-term coughing and airway are in a state of "spasm". It is very important to properly relieve the airway. Oral bronchodilators or atomized bronchodilators can improve cough to a certain extent, such as oral Mepro Qing or Yi Tanjing, nebulized Pulmicort Ressu+Bolicanil, are all good choices. Especially the main reason is that the airway is stimulated by the external environment and causes allergic cough. Allergy drugs are also very necessary.

In some highly sensitive children, blood routines are normal, commonly used drugs are ineffective, and the cough is very serious. It needs a short-term change in the environment to relieve the cough. Some parents of children have already tried it, buy one An airplane ticket took the child to Sanya. The warm, humid, and clean air relaxed the child’s airway. After getting off the plane, the cough "healed without treatment."

For children with sensitive physique, through Chinese medicine treatment, it can be improved Body function. Pay special attention. Children who are usually sweaty will sweat profusely as soon as they fall asleep, or sweat profusely as soon as they exercise. These are all signs of "lung qi deficiency", which can be improved by conditioning and better control. Internal injury and coughing. Z1z
