In the past few days, the number of parents asking me about their children's fever has gradually increased. I will talk about this issue together with another official account "Dalun Parenting Talk" on this official account.
First, let’s look at an example: A parent consulted me and said that the child went out to play the day before yesterday and had a good time with other children. Maybe it was blown by the wind and he ate some snacks at the same time. As a result, he started to have a fever at night. It was more than 38 degrees, and it burned all night, and asked me what to do the next day?
I asked her to send a photo of the child's tongue. Seeing that the child's tongue coating was obviously thick, I judged it to be food accumulation, so I suggested nine grams each of Jiao Sanxian, nine grams of fried chicken inner gold, and boiled water for drinking. At the same time, add raw gypsum, yam and rice in equal parts, cook porridge, and give the child some rice soup.
Then, at night, the child passed out a stool, and the fever subsided.
Another parent had the same problem. He said that his child was playing outside, probably blown by the wind, and then came back with a high fever, which reached 39 degrees. He asked me what to do? I looked at the photos and found that the tongue coating is very thick and there is food accumulation, so I also recommend taking Jiao Sanxian and fried chicken inner gold, combined with some other Chinese patent medicines, and then the burn will gradually subside.
So, why do these children suddenly have more fevers at this time?
It turns out that Chinese medicine believes that spring belongs to wood and corresponds to the liver. At this time, the qi mechanism will grow and the yang qi in the body will begin to flourish. This is the rhythm of nature. When this season comes, the human body will naturally have this characteristic.
In the process of liver qi generation, the function of raising and clearing the spleen also plays a very important role. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are located in the center of the human body, the spleen rises to the left, and the stomach qi descends to the right. When the spleen and stomach rise and fall normally, other viscera can be normal, and there will be a law of "liver ascends with the spleen, gallbladder descends with the stomach". The liver and spleen are inherited to relieve the heart fire.
This is a normal human body's qi circulation process.
If the spleen-stomach qi mechanism is blocked and unable to raise the clear and lower the turbidity, the body's qi mechanism will be disordered. This point will be especially obvious in spring, and it will be more prominent in children.
Children's spleen and stomach are delicate, so it is easy to eat too much of something, leading to food accumulation. I have been talking about the concept of food accumulation. In fact, children eat too much of a certain food, which leads to damage to the function of the spleen and stomach. This is food accumulation.
Now there are more opportunities to accumulate food than in ancient times. For example, children eat too many artificial foods. Things widely exist in snacks, many of which are man-made chemical products, children's body acceptance is not enough, so there will be food accumulation.
Once food accumulation occurs, the ascending and descending function of the spleen and stomach will be hindered, so that the ascending of liver qi will be affected, and its ascending path will be blocked.
But in spring, it is the season when the liver qi is about to rise, but you have blocked the way for it to rise, which of course will cause the disorder of the body's qi.
Therefore, as long as children eat improperly, they will accumulate food all year round. However, in the spring season, the consequences will be more serious. This is also the question I have been asked in the past few days, why the child has a fever, and as long as you look at the tongue map, you will know that the child has accumulated food.
An important indicator of food accumulation in a child is that the tongue coating becomes thicker, the mouth has a rotten taste, the lips turn bright red, and the appetite becomes poor. For example, if you give him the food that the child usually likes to eat, he does not want to eat it Yes, this is a bad appetite. Then, the stool will be abnormal, the stomach will be bloated, unable to pull out, or diarrhea, and the stool will have a rotten smell.
Therefore, if parents can learn to regulate their children's diet and prevent their children from accumulating food, it is very important to know how to identify it once they accumulate food.
In spring, the weather becomes warmer, and the children who have endured the winter in the room can finally go out to play. This is a good thing. Sweating, and being blown by the wind, other children may have no problem, but this kind of child who lacks righteousness can easily catch a cold.
At this time, I generally advise parents to take whatever medicine you should give your child. However, once you find that your child has symptoms of food accumulation, you can go to the drugstore and buy nine grams each of Jiao Sanxian and nine grams of fried chicken inner gold. 1. Stir-fried radish seeds six grams, boil water for the child to drink, clear the child's accumulated food, generally drink for two or three days, and then, after the child recovers, replenish the spleen and increase righteousness.
The amount I suggested earlier is for children over five years old, and children under five years old can use two-thirds or one-third of the amount.
In the past few days, this problem seems to have become more prominent, and I think it is really necessary to remind everyone. I hope that the children will have peace this spring, try to accumulate food as little as possible, catch colds as little as possible, have a normal spleen and stomach, and grow up healthily!
