Introduction to Doctor: Zhang Pingtao, deputy chief physician of traditional Chinese medicine at the Yanta Ma Qiaoling Clinic in Xi'an. After graduating from the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he followed the former director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, famous old Chinese medicine doctor Meng Qingwen, director of the Emergency Department of Shaanxi Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Li Zishan, a famous domestic folk Chinese medicine tumor expert, to gather the strengths of a hundred schools to form his own unique style of practicing medicine and treating diseases, and is good at various skin, spleen, stomach and gynecological diseases. In recent years, Zhang Pingtao has accumulated a lot of clinical experience, especially in traditional ointment prescriptions for treating various rhinitis, , adenoid hypertrophy, tonsillary hypertrophy, and spleen and stomach problems in children.
Modern Health News: Recently, Ms. Lin found that a 3-year-old baby snored when he went to bed at night and breathed , accompanied by a slight "snoring" repeated nasal congestion during the day. The symptoms have worsened recently, so I immediately took my baby to the pediatric clinic for treatment. Dr. Zhang Pingtao from the Ma Qiaoling Clinic in Yanta, Xi'an, was significantly relieved after oral Chinese medicine treatment based on the child's physical condition.
Traditional medicine believes that the nose is the gateway for gas to enter and exit, which controls the sense of smell, helps pronunciation, and belongs to the lung system. The nasopharynx is the same as breathing, which is maintained by the lungs and controls external evils. The adenoid is the nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissue, located at the posterior and top of the nasopharyngeal . Those who adenoid hyperplasia and cause corresponding symptoms are called adenoid hypertrophy, and those who cause corresponding symptoms are called adenoid hypertrophy.
Children are the body of the yang, and their internal organs are not filled, which is prone to invasion by external evil, damage to diet, and weakness of internal organs. If the treatment is not treated or treated improperly, the evil will remain at the junction of the nasopharynx, the phlegm and qi gather, the adenoids proliferate, the throat will not open, and the nasal orifices will become a disease. In childhood, the external health is not solid and the physical constitution is not strong. In order to resist the invasion of external evil, the adenoid body naturally enlarges to prevent diseases and resist diseases. This is physiological hypertrophy. When the body is low in resistance, it is often affected by inflammation of nearby organs and tissues and infected by acute infectious diseases, and adenoids develop pathological hypertrophy. How to treat adenoid hypertrophy?
Zhang Pingtao introduced that if the adenoid hypertrophy blocks the respiratory tract and causes insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, surgical treatment is required. Currently, the first choice for clinical treatment of adenoid hypertrophy in children is to remove the adenoids with hypertrophy under nasal endoscopic nasal endoscopic adenoids. Since adenoid resection does not have clear surgical indications, and there are postoperative complications, postoperative recurrence and the inability to completely resolve OSA, nasal endoscopic adenoid resection is at risk of causing postoperative complications. Therefore, parents of children are more willing to receive conservative treatment, and Chinese medicine oral treatment has become an important part of non-surgical therapy.
According to the traditional Chinese medicine theory that the lungs open the nose, the nose is the lung orifice, and the throat is the portal of the lungs, combined with the physiological characteristics of the frequent liver in children, the lungs, spleen, and kidneys are often insufficient, and the treatment principles are based on the treatment principles of replenishing qi and strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, benefiting yin and reducing fire, promoting lungs and spreading orifices, and promoting blood circulation and dispersing nuclei.
