Symptoms of lung heat

Although cough is the most common disease among children, if your child keeps coughing, coughs repeatedly, and the cough never gets better, it is likely that "lung heat" is causing the problem.

Coughing is a defensive reflex of the body's defense function. However, long-term and severe coughing will not only affect the baby's rest, but also consume the baby's energy, and even spread the virus to adjacent bronchi, causing serious diseases such as pneumonia and emphysema. Therefore, when mothers choose cough medicine for their children, they should first find out the cause of the disease. If your child's cough does not go away and often recurs, you need to pay attention, as this is mostly caused by lung heat and must be treated with medication.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, lung heat is caused by wind-cold and wind-heat attacking the lungs, or by cold symptoms turning into heat, which is blocked in the lungs and causes the lungs to lose their ability to clear and purify themselves. Judging from the child's own physiological characteristics, the child has a pure yang body, that is, the yang is often in excess, the yin is often insufficient, the child is prone to kidney yin deficiency, and has heavy internal fire, which is what ordinary people call "getting angry". When children are affected by external pathogenic factors, it is easy to turn into internal fire, causing the lung fire to rise, causing lung heat, and symptoms such as fever, cough, sputum, and wheezing. If the cause of the disease is not found and the right medicine is not chosen, it will cause children to cough repeatedly. Therefore, we need to use medicines that can clear lung heat, clear and moisten the lungs, and treat recurrent coughs. If a child has a persistent cough accompanied by yellow phlegm, or has symptoms such as wheezing, dry mouth and thirst, dry and sore throat, and constipation, it is mostly due to lung heat, which can easily lead to pneumonia if it is not cleared. You can take children's lung heat cough and asthma puree and oil. It can effectively treat baby's lung heat, cough, and repeated cough, and at the same time effectively prevent the occurrence of neonatal pneumonia and bronchitis.

When the temperature changes drastically, be sure to adjust your child's clothes. In the autumn and winter, give your child plenty of water. Also pay attention to ventilation in the room to ensure the humidity in the air. In addition, when the child has begun to cough, he should be given some nutritious, easy-to-digest and refreshing food, such as milk, egg custard, juice, bone soup, etc. During the autumn and winter seasons when respiratory diseases are more prevalent, try not to take children to crowded public places to reduce the probability of illness.

Finally, mothers must remember that if children keep coughing, they need to clear and moisten the lungs, take appropriate medicines, and treat recurrent coughs! Find the cause of the disease, choose the right medicine, and mothers will not be afraid even if the child coughs again.
