When you touch your child's hot forehead at night, you feel the anxiety. Mothers know it best.
Go to the hospital, fearing that there will be cross-infection; take medicine, but keep thinking that "the medicine is 30% poison". Especially in autumn and winter, when the indoor environment is dry and the snacks taste sweet, the "fire" in the child's body suddenly breaks out, the throat feels sore, the yellow mucus flows out, and the cough is so severe that sleep cannot be settled and sound - this situation is most likely caused by wind-heat and cold.
At that time, the kitchen was the best pharmacy. Don't panic, let's use food to gently remove this "fire".
How to tell if it is "wind-heat" rather than "wind-cold"?
Many parents panic when they see a fever. Remember this sentence: Wind heat presents the status of "red, hot, dry, and yellow".
The child's fear of wind did not show any obvious symptoms, but he had a severe fever, his nose and phlegm were yellow and thick in texture, his throat was as red as if he was about to burst out of flames, he was screaming for water, and when he stuck out his tongue, he found that the tongue coating was yellow. If you have clear nose, shivers, or no sweating, these are so-called wind-cold symptoms, and you must not take the wrong medicine.
Sangen Tang: Who invented this recipe? I really want to thank her.
3 Chinese cabbage roots, 7 scallion roots (with whiskers), and 15 grams of reed roots.
Cabbage root has the effect of clearing away heat from the lungs, reed root has the effect of removing stomach heat, and green onion root can ventilate the body. Put them together and boil water. The taste is not unpalatable. Children can drink it as daily drinking water. If you continue to drink it for two or three days, the "heat" will be excreted through urine.
Carrot and water chestnut porridge: This bowl of sweet porridge is a child’s “body fire extinguisher”
Cut the carrots into slices, pat the split water chestnuts, and make porridge with the rice. You can add a little rock sugar.
Horseshoes are very magical objects. They can clear away the fire in the lungs and stomach, and can also dissolve sticky phlegm. Children lose their appetite after catching a cold. This bowl of porridge tastes extremely sweet and can be used as both a meal and a cure. Every time I cook it, it's hard to keep a second bowl in the pot.
White radish water: "life-saving water" for babies under 2 years old
Cut the white radish into four or five slices, add half a bowl of water, bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for another 5 minutes.
Sick babies are the most troublesome existence, and they may cry until they can't breathe while giving medicine. This water itself has a little sweetness, but it needs to be drunk warmly to smooth the flow of energy, resolve phlegm and digest food. You need to pay special attention, don't cook it for too long. Once the radish is cooked, the refreshing flavor will dissipate.
Green onion and white pear juice: pears are "falsely cool" and green onions are "real cool"
7 scallions with white strands, cut a pear into cubes, add some rock sugar and boil water.
Many people think they should not eat pears when they have a cold, for fear of catching a cold. However, it would be different if it is paired with scallions. The scallions carry "yang energy" around and can bring the coolness of the pear to where it should go without hurting the stomach. It is particularly effective for colds with dry coughs and smoke-like throats.
I must say two things: What to eat is worse than "what not to eat"
When a child is sick, his spleen and stomach are already very weak, like a machine that cannot turn.
Be especially careful not to indulge in nourishment during this period, because that is equivalent to adding firewood to an already burning fire. All consumption of fatty, sweet and rich foods (such as cakes, fried foods, broth, etc.) must be stopped. Why is this? Traditional Chinese medicine explains that "the lungs and the large intestine are related to each other from the outside to the inside." If the stool is not smooth, the heat in the lungs cannot be excreted downwards, and the fever will naturally not go down. Light porridge and water should be consumed during these days so that the body can concentrate its energy on dealing with the disease instead of expending energy on digesting food.
the last the last
Seeing that your child is so sick, I know you want to feel bad for him.
Don't be anxious, diet therapy is not a medicine. Although it is slow, it is sure. It is not like the violent attack of antibiotics, but is like a drizzle, gradually extinguishing the heat in the body. When you hold the bowl of warm radish water and see your child drinking it, you have actually given him the safest love.
You should know that if your child has a persistent high fever, a body temperature that does not drop, and a depressed mental state, you must not choose to carry it forcefully. If you need to go to the hospital, you still have to go to the hospital. Diet therapy is a shield that plays a protective role, but doctors are the warriors who can carry out precise strikes and attacks.
