Treat colds in children by clearing away heat from the lungs

　　The lungs govern the fur, and the fire-heat evil in the lungs can originally be emitted through the hair orifices with sweat. Once the wind-cold evil is felt, the hair orifices are blocked due to the cold evil, and the heat evil in the lungs cannot be dissipated, so it accumulates and becomes heavier. This forms the most common type of cold - cold syndrome, that is, external cold and internal heat.

　　What are the symptoms of lung heat in children?

　　①Eye shit. When getting up in the morning, eyelashes are stuck with eye secretions, making it difficult for children to open their eyes.

　　②Strong tone. It's bad breath, and you can smell it clearly when you get close to the child's face.

　　③Sore throat. Dry and painful throat, red and swollen tonsils.

　　④Red lips. It's as red as lipstick.

　　⑤Red tip of tongue. The tip of the tongue is obviously redder than the tongue body, and there are even many bright red spots. Some children may also have ulcers on the tip or body of the tongue.

　　⑥Geographic tongue. Many children's tongue coating peels off in patches, as irregular as a map (caused by extreme heat damaging the yin).

　　⑦The stool is dry and hard, and the stool is smelly. The stool is dry and hard and difficult to pass. Some children have red faces and tears in their eyes when they defecate. Some children defecate once every two days or several days. Some children have dry and hard stools, which are like sheep excrement and are spherical in shape. The feces of these children have a particularly strong odor.

　　As long as two or more of the above seven conditions occur, it indicates that the fire in the child's body has formed. If you don't clear away heat and purge fire in time, colds can occur at any time.

　　How to clear lung heat?

　　①Pay attention to your diet and drink plenty of water. Water can control fire. Drinking more water and urinating more can promote the discharge of fire evil. The diet should be light, moderate and easy to digest. Otherwise, it is easy to cause food accumulation, which can easily turn into fire and aggravate the heat evil in the body. It is strictly forbidden to eat foods or medicines that can help the fire, such as mutton, dog meat, sea urchin, durian, puffed food, barbecue, spicy food, ginseng, sea cucumber, etc. Eating these foods is like adding fuel to the fire, making the internal fire more intense.

　　②Choose some Chinese patent medicines: Qingrejiedu oral liquid, Qingfei Qingphlegm oral liquid for children, Qingrezhicough oral liquid for children, Wang's Baochi pills, Qizhendan, you can also choose Fangfeng Tongsheng pills or Huanglian Shangqing pills.

　　③You can take some herbal tea. Because herbal tea contains many traditional Chinese medicines such as honeysuckle and Kuding tea that can clear away heat and detoxify.
