It's not good for your child to have a stuffy nose. Don't rush to take anti-inflammatory drugs.
Many parents have this experience. Once the seasons change, or their children catch a little cold, their noses will start to get angry.
During the day, the situation is fine. However, once it's time to go to sleep at night, the little nose will make a wheezing sound, completely suffocating the air. Seeing the child have to open his mouth to breathe, always tossing and turning, causing sleep to be unstable, not to mention how anxious he is as a parent.
I took the child to the hospital and conducted a series of examinations. The doctor said that this was a symptom of rhinitis and prescribed many medicines. However, he must not rely on medicines every day to maintain his condition.
In fact, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, rhinitis in children is mostly related to the dysfunction of the lungs and spleen. Anti-inflammation alone can often only solve the superficial problem, but cannot fundamentally solve the disease.
Now, for all of you who are parents, I would like to share many traditional Chinese medicine dietary prescriptions that can be used at home. These dietary prescriptions are based on conditioning the body and have the effect of gently unobstructing the orifices. If you have a baby with rhinitis at home, you can collect them and try them.
Stewed Lean Pork with Xanthium Seeds: A Classic Soup for Relaxing the Nasal Apertures
This prescription is described in many Chinese medicine classics, and the Xanthium lucidum mainly used in it is a medicine that specializes in opening the orifices.
Prepare Xanthium 12g , 50g lean pork .
Wrap the cocklebur seeds in gauze so that there will be no residue in the soup and it will be more convenient for children to drink.
First cut the lean pork into small pieces, then put these small pieces of lean pork into the pot together with the medicine bag, then add enough water to the pot, then bring the water to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer slowly for 60 minutes.
Just add a little salt to taste before serving, there is no need to add too many seasonings.
The stewed soup has a light taste and the meat is very soft, which is easier for children to accept.
It should be reminded here that Xanthium sibiricum is slightly poisonous, so the quantity used must be properly controlled and the dosage must not be increased at will.
If Xanthium vulgaris cannot be purchased, 30 grams of Xanthium vulgare root can be used instead, and the effect is roughly the same.
Children can enjoy this soup two to three times a week. If you continue to take it for a certain period of time, you will notice that your child's nasal congestion will gradually improve.
Xinyi flower pot eggs: fragrant with flowers and eggs, children love to eat them
The flower buds of magnolia are Xinyi flowers, which have a faint fragrance and are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat rhinitis.
This recipe is very simple to make. Xinyi flower 10g , 1-2 eggs .
Get the magnolia flowers, place them in a pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and then put the washed eggs into it and cook them together.
Take out the hard-boiled eggs, peel off the eggshells, and poke a few small holes in the egg whites with a toothpick so that the soup can seep into them more easily. Then put them back in the pot and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
The final step was to drink soup and eat eggs. The smell of magnolia flowers in the soup was not unpleasant, but had a fragrance similar to that of mint, which was acceptable to most children.
This dietary therapy focuses on clearing lung qi. It is very effective for nasal congestion caused by wind and cold, and for cases of runny nose.
Eggs are high-quality protein, which can supplement nutrition for children and kill two birds with one stone.
Eat it three to four times a week for a month, and you will find that your child's sneezing and runny nose during the day will be reduced considerably.
Pork brain stewed with Xiongzhi: use shape to complement shape and regulate brain orifices
Usually people of the older generation will say "you will get what you eat". This recipe uses pig brains and is also combined with several traditional Chinese medicines that have the effect of promoting blood circulation and relieving the orifices.
Prepare 1 pair of pig brains , 6 grams each of Chuanxiong and Angelica dahurica , Xinyi flower 10g .
First, carefully remove the red tendons that appear on the outside of the pig brain, and rinse it with clean water several times to remove the fishy smell.
Put the medicinal materials of Chuanxiong into the pot, then put the medicinal materials of Angelica dahurica into the pot, then put the medicinal materials of Xinyi flower into the pot, add two bowls of water and cook until the soup is concentrated into about half a bowl, then filter out the medicinal residue, leaving only the medicinal juice.
First place the well-processed pig brains into the stew pot, then pour in the fried concoction, then close the lid, and finally stew through water until completely cooked.
The stewed pig brains taste like tender tofu and melt in your mouth. The bitterness of the concoction is not too obvious, so children usually won't resist it.
Ligusticum chuanxiong and angelica dahurica, which are used to induce menstruation on the head and face, are taken together with pig brains. They have good relieving effects on dizziness and forehead pain caused by chronic rhinitis.
You only need to take this recipe 1-2 times a week, not too often.
Baiye Pig Nose Soup: a therapeutic formula to clear away heat and moisturize dryness.
There are some children whose rhinitis is not just caused by cold, but because there is heat in the lungs, which results in dry noses, a large number of boogers, and even yellow mucus. At this time, it is not appropriate to use warm prescriptions.
Boiled Pig Nose Soup This recipe is more suitable for lung-heat type rhinitis.
Prepare 15 grams of raw cypress leaves , Dendrobium 6 grams , Bupleurum 3 grams , 30g pork snout .
Scrape and clean the pork snout and cut into small pieces.
Put all the ingredients together into the pot, add three bowls of water, bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to low heat. Simmer until more than half of the bowl of soup is left in the pot. Remove the medicinal residue and leave only the soup juice.
After the soup cools down slightly, add 30 grams of honey, then add 15 grams of 30-degree rice wine, stir to make it even, and then let the child drink it in several batches.
The honey here has the effect of moisturizing and dryness, and the rice wine has the effect of activating blood circulation. The whole recipe is cooling and moistening, which is suitable for children with dry nose, itchy nose, and yellow and thick nasal mucus.
Under normal circumstances, 3 doses are used as a course of treatment, and you continue to drink for three courses. During this period, you can rest for a few days before continuing to drink.
Stewed Xanthium sibiricum with red dates: replenishes qi and blood and clears the nasal passages
This prescription is made from cocklebur seeds and red dates. It is suitable for children who tend to be weak and often catch colds.
Prepare 6 red dates , Xanthium 10g .
It is best to break the red dates so that they can be cooked more easily.
Put the red dates and cocklebur seeds into the pot together, add an appropriate amount of water, and cook until the soup thickens.
No need to add sugar, the sweetness of the dates itself is enough.
This recipe drink once a day ,by Seven days constitute a course of treatment .
Red dates have the effect of replenishing Qi, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, and can neutralize the medicinal properties of Xanthium vulgaris, so that children can replenish Qi and blood while treating rhinitis.
Many children suffering from long-term rhinitis do not have a very good complexion, showing a yellowish appearance, and this prescription is particularly suitable.
Bee nest chewing method: a simple folk remedy
Finally, let me share a very simple folk remedy.
If you can find fresh and clean honeycombs in the home environment, you can let the children take an appropriate amount every day and put it in their mouths to chew carefully for 10 to 20 minutes, 1 to 2 times a day.
There are many active ingredients such as propolis and beeswax in the nests where bees live. The juice produced after chewing has a certain degree of moisturizing and repairing effects on the mucous membranes in the nasal cavity.
There is a method, although it sounds a bit weird, but it has been circulated among many older generations for a long time, and many people say that it is effective after using it.
However, it should be noted that the bee nest must be clean and free of contamination, and children who are allergic to bee products must not try it.
If your child develops red and swollen lips or a rash on his body after chewing, stop immediately.
I would like to remind all parents who are parents that although dietary therapy is relatively mild, it cannot replace formal treatment.
If your child's rhinitis symptoms are severe, such as long-term nasal congestion leading to mouth breathing and snoring, or recurring headaches and earaches, which may even affect learning and sleep, you still need to take your child to a regular hospital for medical treatment in time and let the doctor develop a treatment plan based on the child's specific situation.
These prescriptions for dietary therapy can be used as auxiliary conditioning methods to help strengthen the child's physical fitness when the child's symptoms stabilize, or they can be used as daily health care.
Every child's constitution is not the same, and their response to dietary treatments will also be different. Parents should carefully observe when making choices to find the type that is most suitable for their children.
