Baby coughs, don't use Chuanbei Pipa cream indiscriminately, only use it when it is symptomatic.

In autumn and winter, it is time for children to cough. ...............................................................................................................................................................

Today, I will talk about the characteristics of these five kinds of coughs to help you better judge what kind of cough your baby belongs to.

There are five types of cough: wind-cold cough, wind-heat cough, phlegm-dampness cough, phlegm-heat cough and yin deficiency cough.

First, the characteristics and systemic symptoms of cough

Cough due to wind-cold: itchy throat with tight feeling, less or more sputum, transparent or white sputum, thin and white tongue coating, no sweat when coughing, often accompanied by symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and chills.

Wind-heat type cough: red throat, thirst, yellow tongue coating, sticky phlegm, yellow color, red tongue edge, less sweating, yellow nose, sticky phlegm, difficult to cough up, accompanied by constipation and yellow urine. The identification point is whether there is sore throat.

Cough due to phlegm-dampness: Recurrent cough, heavy and turbid cough with phlegm sound, thick phlegm, white or gray sputum color. White and greasy tongue coating, shapeless stool, chest tightness, tight stomach, abdominal distension and indigestion.

Phlegm-heat type cough: cough, yellow and thick phlegm, uncomfortable expectoration, stuffy nose, sore throat, red tongue, thin yellow or greasy fur, slippery pulse and other symptoms. Generally, phlegm is white and sticky, and it is often difficult to cough up because of its viscosity. After infection or cold, the symptoms get worse rapidly, the amount of sputum increases, the viscosity increases, or it is yellow pus or accompanied by wheezing, and occasionally there is blood in the sputum due to severe cough.

Cough due to yin deficiency: dry cough, short cough sound, dry throat itching with slight pain, little or no phlegm. If there is phlegm, it may be sticky, and the tongue may be red with a little moss. Hot flashes in the hands, feet and palms in the afternoon and night sweats.

Diet therapy party

Cold cough: 2 grams of exocarpium citri grandis, 6 grams of platycodon grandiflorum, taken with boiling water as tea.

Wind-heat type cough: soak Siraitia grosvenorii 1 tablet and honeysuckle tea 10g in 500ml water and boil10min.

Cough of phlegm-dampness type:

Cold-heat mixed phlegm-dampness (exocarpium Citri Grandis 2g, Poria 9g and Glycyrrhiza 6g)

Oranges are phlegm-resolving products, and their warm nature is combined with raw licorice and poria cocos to warm up phlegm, boil water for drinking, regulate qi, strengthen spleen, resolve phlegm and relieve cough.

Cold-dampness cough with phlegm: chicken soup with five fingers, peaches.

(45-60g hairy peach root, naked chicken 1 chicken, 200g lean meat, 3 slices of ginger, and raw licorice 10g. )

Five-finger peach is not a peach, because its leaves look like five fingers, and the leaves are hairy, and the fruit is named like a peach when it matures. It is a plant with the same origin of medicine and food, and has the effect of promoting qi circulation and dehumidifying. Wuzhitao chicken soup is moist and delicious, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach, dispel dampness, relax tendons and activate collaterals.

Phlegm-heat type cough: drink plenty of water, forbid cold food, avoid fat meat and sweets, and avoid oranges.

Prescription 1: gardenia 10g, exocarpium citri grandis 2g, decocted in water, with insufficient essence and excessive substance, white mucinous foam phlegm, full of strength, and finally dried up to eliminate phlegm.

Formula 2: 5ml of fresh bamboo juice for resolving phlegm and relieving cough and 5ml of ginger juice. Fresh bamboo juice for regulating qi and resolving phlegm, clearing away heat and relieving cough is a product of resolving phlegm, and its qi is very cold, so fresh bamboo juice and ginger juice are used to help yang.

Formula 3: 6 grams of Fritillaria thunbergii, 6 grams of ginger and bamboo shavings each, 65,438 pears+0,500 ml of boiling water. Eliminating pathogenic factors and resolving phlegm, resolving stagnation and stopping vomiting.

Cough due to yin deficiency: Qiuli Ointment or Chuanbei Pipa Ointment.

By the way, can children with cough eat fruit?

Many mothers asked me when they saw a doctor: "The fruit is very cold, can't it be given to children with cough?"

In fact, whether a fruit is suitable for children depends on physical fitness. Children's asthma, cold phlegm, frequent diarrhea or loose stool and white phlegm belong to spleen and stomach weakness. Pears, watermelons, cantaloupes and other cold fruits can't be eaten, but those with dry cough and less phlegm due to yin deficiency can eat them.

But now most children's physique is a complex problem from the initial one to the accumulation and nesting of various constitutions. Each child has only different degrees of deficiency, excess, cold, heat, yin and yang, and the treatment process should be adjusted layer by layer like peeling onions.

When it is hot, eating some sweet and cool fruits is helpful to relieve the symptoms of exterior syndrome, but when the internal cold constitution begins to appear, cool fruits are not suitable, so the body conditioning is like the four seasons, and cold and heat can be clearly distinguished. Only professional doctors can make judgments, and professional judgments can be given based on comprehensive and complete information such as baby's examination, symptoms, diet and daily life.

Let's call it a day. I hope I can help you. Thanks for your support. See you tomorrow.
