There was a child who had coughed for more than 20 days but failed to heal. When he heard from his neighbor that I could have a cough, he came to me for treatment. After diagnosis, the child was whooping cough , and the acupuncture was effective three times and the cough was seven times. How does traditional Chinese medicine do it?
Pertussis is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by Pertussis . It is mainly manifested as severe paroxysmal spastic cough (sudden cough), accompanied by the sound of inhalation like a chicken crowing. The cough is getting worse and worse, especially at night. After repeated coughing, if you cough up some viscous phlegm or vomit some stomach contents, it can be temporarily relieved. This disease can be prolonged for two to three months, so it is called "pertus cough".
Traditional medicine believes that pertussis is mainly caused by the infiltration of phlegm inside and the invasion of the lung system. According to the introduction of " Chinese Medicine Journal ", acupuncture of Shaoshang and Shangyang in children with pertussis will achieve good results. Treatment method: Take both sides of Shaoshang and Shangyang, disinfect them regularly, and use a needle to vent bleeding, and acupuncture once a day. Why are these two acupoints? Shaoshang is the acupoint of in the lung meridian, and Shangyang is the acupoint of large intestinal meridian, . Acupuncture of the two acupoints can evade the evil of wind and heat during the two meridians, restore the functions of lung meridian to promote and descend, and conduct large intestine, thereby stopping coughing and vomiting.
whooping cough is contagious, also known as "epidemic cough" in traditional Chinese medicine. Its diagnosis and treatment can be carried out according to the syndrome differentiation of warm disease Wei Qi Ying Blood. Here is a proven recipe for treating pertussis: use one fresh chicken bitter bile, add an appropriate amount of sugar, put it in a pot and steam it, take it, children from 1 to 11 months old take one chicken bitter bile every 3 days, children from 1 to 2 years old take half a chicken bitter bile every day, and children over 2 years old take one chicken bitter bile every day.
Pharmacological experiments believe that bile can inhibit Bacillus pertussis, have a sedative effect, and can reduce erectile cough, so it has a good therapeutic effect on pertussis.
Once pertussis occurs, it will cause great pain to infants and young children. Injecting diphtheria and tetanus vaccine is an effective way to prevent whooping cough. I hope parents will vaccinate their babies as planned.
