Uncle De’s clinic story:
Ming Ming is 4 years old this year. Unexpectedly, starting half a year ago, Mingming snores like a “little old man” when he sleeps at night. At first, I didn’t take it seriously at home, but gradually, Mingming’s snoring became more and more serious. Not only was the sound loud and rhythmic, but more importantly, sometimes he woke up like he was suddenly out of breath and woke up all night. They couldn’t sleep well, rolled around on the bed, looked bad, had a bad temper, lost their appetite, and didn’t have much bowel movements. And always have a runny nose, sneeze, can only breathe with his mouth open, and sometimes cough. This toss and loses a few pounds.
Mingming’s family was worried and took Mingming to the hospital for an examination. They said it was adenoid hypertrophy. It is recommended to operate as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect future growth and development. Mingming’s family was hesitating, and saw the ancient column of Uncle De’s medicine on the Internet, so he went to Uncle De’s clinic for help.
Uncle De’s riddle:
Children with hypertrophic adenoids like Mingming are mostly related to improper diet. Chinese medicine believes that the function of the spleen and stomach in children is not yet fully developed, and careless feeding can easily lead to weakness of the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are important organs for removing water and dampness. Insufficient function of the spleen and stomach will not only lead to poor appetite, stunted growth and development, etc., but also cause water and dampness to not be removed normally, stop gathering in the respiratory tract, resulting in unobstructed breathing and snoring at night. And may lead to adenoid hypertrophy.
In addition, the spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the production of lung qi is also affected by the function of the spleen and stomach. The insufficient production of lung qi leads to frequent nasal congestion, runny nose and cough. In terms of treatment, Uncle De focuses on nourishing the lungs and spleen, resolving phlegm and dampness, and also calming the liver and calming the mind. After 3 months of conditioning, Mingming’s snoring and other symptoms have improved significantly, and he is now maintaining intermittent follow-up visits in the outpatient clinic.
Prevention and health care:
Uncle De pointed out that children like Mingming with deficiency of the lungs and spleen are susceptible to the evil of wind and cold in winter, which leads to aggravation of symptoms. The most important thing is to adjust the diet structure, eat less cold foods, such as ice cream, cold drinks, fruits, etc., and also do a good job of preventing wind and cold, so as not to feel the evil wind and cold, which will induce phlegm and dampness in the trapped, leading to more obstruction of the respiratory tract. In addition, symptoms such as coughing and snoring are aggravated.
Usually try traditional Chinese medicine fumigation before going to bed to expel wind and dispel cold, and improve the symptoms of nasal congestion and snoring. You can choose 15 grams of Xinyi flower, 10 grams of fried cocklebur, 10 grams of Angelica dahurica, 5 grams of mint, put it in a pot, add an appropriate amount of water and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, take the concoction and put it in a mug, while it is hot, Inhale through the nose against the mouth of the cup for about 5 minutes, once a day.
