Pediatric experts in traditional Chinese medicine don't hide their secrets, but make them public! Whether a baby is healthy or not depends on his face, so he knows the state of drinking milk, sleep time and mental vitality ... Many people will judge whether a baby is sick from the external performance, but ignore that "face" is actually the most direct indicator to distinguish his physical condition. Healthy babies' faces are usually bloody, bright and ruddy, as lovely as apples, while most sick babies have poor blood color and dull skin. Want to tell if the baby is sick at the first time? Let the pediatrician of traditional Chinese medicine teach you the skills of "seeing a doctor". Is the baby sick? The key point is that the skin color of "shiny" people is not only inherited from their parents, but also related to their physique. Some children's skin is naturally ruddy and fair, while others are yellow, dark or even slightly blue. Yao Mingsheng, chairman of China Pediatric Medical Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that no matter what skin color, as long as the face looks bright and ruddy, it is a sign of health. In contrast, once the skin is dull, it may be that there is something wrong with the body. For example, healthy red should be faint ruddy, and bright red and dark red are abnormal; Healthy black, like lacquerware, exudes a luster, not a strong earthy color. In addition to skin color, eyes are also an important indicator to judge health. Healthy children's eyes are usually clear and bright, white and red eyes represent heart heat, reddish eyes with bloodshot eyes represent heart heat, blue represents liver heat, yellow represents spleen heat, and dim pupils reflect kidney deficiency.

Chin acne, beware of kidney problems.

Chinese medicine believes that different faces represent five different organs; The forehead reflects the heart, the chin reflects the kidney, the nose reflects the spleen, the left cheek reflects the liver and the right cheek reflects the lungs.

Five kinds of deformed faces experts teach you to see 1. Your face is blue.

When children suffer from cold (cold), it is advisable to give Shensu drink to recuperate. The medicinal materials of Shensuyin include Ginseng Radix, Perillae Radix, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Poria, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Radix Aucklandiae, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Radix Platycodi, Fructus Aurantii, Radix Puerariae, Radix Peucedani, Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens and Fructus Jujubae. This prescription can not only relieve cold, but also treat indigestion. If children have indigestion, they can use Wei Ping powder, which is a special prescription for treating indigestion. Wei Ping powder comprises Rhizoma Atractylodis, Cortex Magnolia Officinalis, Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens and Fructus Jujubae.

After the prescription is finished, let's talk about diet therapy. Children suffering from wind chill should nurse a light diet and avoid cold foods such as cold drinks, frosted ice cream, lettuce salad, preserved eggs and tofu, cold jellyfish, cold fruits such as cucumber, loofah, bitter gourd, watermelon, cantaloupe and pear, as well as greasy meat such as glutinous rice, okra and natto and sticky and indigestible foods. At this time, it is necessary to replenish more water. You might as well cook a pot of hot rice soup as boiling water for the children to drink. Rice soup has both moisture and nutrition, which is very suitable for babies with colds. If children think that rice soup tastes too weak, they can season it with soup conditioning packages (such as corn soup and tomato soup) according to the situation. The weight should not be too much, and it should be palatable, which can help children recover quickly.

In terms of work and rest, the first three gods mainly read story books, watch cartoons and other static activities. It's best to let the children stay in bed more. Even if the baby recovers a little spirit, he should not be allowed to engage in too intense activities to avoid fatigue and symptoms.

Eating fruit depends on the timing.

Whether the baby has a cold or not, it is best to prepare fruits at room temperature. Don't think that you can give your child cold fruit in summer. It is best to avoid eating fruit in the morning and evening, when the sun is the strongest at noon, or adjust the proportion (eat more at noon, eat less in the morning and evening) to avoid causing chills in the body.

blush

* Possible causes/corresponding diseases

Internal heat, wind-heat, convulsion and excessive phlegm can cause abnormal bright red cheeks; Ectopic dermatitis can also make the skin red, but this abnormal redness will only appear in the affected area, and the color is different from the "redness" caused by internal heat, wind-heat, convulsion and excessive phlegm.

* How to care?

Yao Mingsheng said that for constipation caused by excessive internal heat, he usually prescribed Tiaowei Chengqi Decoction (but not too much) consisting of rhubarb, bitter orange, magnolia officinalis and licorice. If the child is feverish due to wind-heat, give the child Daqinglong Decoction composed of Herba Ephedrae, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Ginger, Fructus Jujubae and Gypsum Fibrosum. He reminded that when letting children take Daqinglong Decoction, once the baby sweats and his body temperature drops, he should stop taking the medicine and not be "blind"; So is Tiaowei Chengqi Decoction. As long as the baby no longer has diarrhea, you can stop taking the medicine, so as to avoid the child taking too much medicine and weakening his body.

Although both wind-cold and wind-heat need extra water, wind-heat needs more water because it loses more water than wind-cold. If the baby has symptoms such as dry skin, peeling lips and eye socket collapse, be careful that it may be insufficient water intake. It is best to help children replenish electrolyzed water as soon as possible; If the child loses consciousness, he should be sent to see a doctor at once. As for children with sputum symptoms, because cold food is easy to produce sputum, it is best not to touch food below room temperature and cold fruits and vegetables at this time, and it is forbidden to eat greasy and sticky food to prevent the body from being easily metabolized; You can eat more spicy food containing onion, ginger, garlic and fennel to promote the circulation of "qi" in the body. If the child suffers from atopic dermatitis, he should avoid being exposed to the sun for too long before the symptoms are stable. It is forbidden to eat seafood, fried barbecue, spicy food and crispy biscuits, and drink more soup or porridge made of coix seed, red beans and mung beans to promote metabolism.

Pediatric experts in traditional Chinese medicine don't hide their secrets, but make them public! The baby's health can be seen from his face. His face is yellow.

* Possible causes/corresponding diseases

Long-term poor appetite can lead to anemia, weakness and yellow face.

* How to care?

Children's indigestion is mostly caused by adults' doting. Once children are allowed to eat too many cakes, biscuits, sweets and other exquisite processed foods, or are often allowed to eat too much, food will easily accumulate in the stomach and cannot be digested. Yao Mingsheng pointed out that it is usually best to let children eat less snacks and the amount of each meal should be "just right". Don't fill your child's stomach just to make him grow taller and stronger. You should make your stomach feel a little hungry and avoid overeating. After dinner, it is best to take the children for a walk for half an hour, and then go to rest. Don't go to bed immediately after supper.

In addition to the Wei Ping powder mentioned above, the prescription for food stagnation can also be treated with Baohe Pill consisting of Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Fructus Forsythiae, Poria, Massa Medicata Fermentata, Raphani Semen, Fructus Crataegi and Rhizoma Pinelliae. In addition, you can also use white radish, hawthorn, rice sprouts and malt to help children digest; White radish can be cooked with ribs into radish sparerib soup (be careful not to cook it too oily), and hawthorn can be drunk with dark plum juice. After being boiled in water, rice sprouts and malt will give off a faint aroma, which is a good appetizer.

Become pale

* Possible causes/corresponding diseases

"Cold" and "deficiency" are the main reasons for pallor. Children with pale face and cold hands and feet often lack yang in their bodies, which is a typical manifestation of deficiency-cold syndrome.

* How to care?

There are two main prescriptions for treating deficiency cold. One is Huangqi Wuwu Decoction, which consists of Radix Astragali, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens and Fructus Jujubae. One is Danggui Sini Decoction, which consists of Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Asari, medulla Tetrapanacis, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata and Fructus Jujubae. In addition, ginger and sesame oil can effectively improve cold constitution. When preparing meals for children, add ginger and sesame oil (such as fried eggs with sesame oil). Always keep your baby away from cold food, especially white radish, kohlrabi and Shandong Chinese cabbage. In daily nursing, children with deficiency cold have low average body temperature and are easily afraid of cold. Keep warm in autumn and winter. When the weather is warm in spring and summer, you can go outdoors to promote blood circulation, master the concept of treating winter diseases in summer, and take good care of yourself in summer.

blackening

* Possible causes/corresponding diseases

Black symptoms are usually more serious, mainly "cold" and "pain". Because of poor blood circulation, dark "cold" will be more serious than pale "cold". Severe convulsions can also turn black, but this is often a sign of poor recovery and bad sequelae.

* How to care?

If the cold is reflected in the whole body, you can use Sini decoction composed of dried ginger, aconite, fried licorice and ginseng to dispel the cold; Cold is reflected in the gastrointestinal tract, which can be treated with Lizhong decoction composed of ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, licorice and dried ginger. If the limbs are cold, Danggui Sini Decoction composed of Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Asari, medulla Tetrapanacis, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata and Fructus Jujubae can be used. Zhenwu decoction composed of Poria, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata and Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens can relieve the cold of the body and lower body. If the cold syndrome is serious, Yao Mingsheng suggested to use an "enhanced version" prescription, namely Danggui Sini Decoction and Evodia rutaecarpa ginger decoction, which consists of Angelica sinensis, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Herba Asari, Glycyrrhrizae Radix, medulla Tetrapanacis, Fructus Jujubae, Evodia rutaecarpa and ginger, so as to dispel the cold in the body. -

Pediatric experts in traditional Chinese medicine don't hide their secrets, but make them public! Whether the baby is healthy or not depends on his face. He looks good and drinks more blood-enriching soup.

Preschool children are as vibrant as spring flowers. Although they are easy to get sick, because of their simple constitution, as long as they are treated properly, they will often recover soon. If the child's congenital constitution is weak, it can be made into blood-nourishing soup with Astragalus (Beijiao), Angelica sinensis (the ratio of Astragalus to Angelica sinensis is 5: 1), Lycium barbarum and jujube. As long as you take it for a period of time every day, it usually has obvious effects.

Yao Mingsheng reminded that although parents can judge whether the baby is healthy or not from the color of the child's face, it can only be used as a reference, not an absolute diagnosis. When the child's face is abnormal, it is best to see a doctor. In addition, although different prescriptions are provided for five types of abnormal facial expressions, the clinical symptoms will be different after all, and the same drug will choose different drugs for physical reasons. If the symptoms are confirmed, it is recommended to find a professional Chinese medicine for treatment.

To raise a healthy baby, master four key points.

Early to bed and early to rise, get enough sleep. Adjust clothes according to the temperature, don't wear too thin and too thick. Diet is mainly neutral, spices (spicy, fragrant, sour, sweet and salty) should be controlled, and cold, sticky and greasy foods should be avoided. Add jujube, wolfberry fruit, yam, longan pulp, lotus seed, coix seed and other ingredients with the same origin of medicine and food to the food at the right time according to the physique.
