Patient's question:
Fever, high fever, nausea, runny nose, sore throat. Treated with intravenous fluids, which included fever-reducing drugs, Cefuroxime, Xiyanheping, and Kaishun. Four days without eating, still nausea, accompanied by severe nausea and vomiting. One week ago, the treatment and its effects: went to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, received anorectal anesthesia...Doctor's answer:
This may be due to spleen and stomach deficiency with cold. Is your baby feeling cold? If it's caused by eating cold things, you can take one-third of an adult dose of Fuzi Lizhong pills, crush them, and simmer a small cup of water with 5 drops of ginger juice. Take it 4 times a day. If there's no improvement after taking the medicine for a day, it's recommended to visit a good traditional Chinese medicine hospital and seek advice from renowned senior experts. Going directly to the internal medicine department is fine, as traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes holistic diagnosis. Good TCM practitioners are not limited to specific specialties and can treat all kinds of illnesses. Different body constitutions and living environments can lead to different diseases. The greatest advantage of TCM is its holistic diagnosis and individualized treatment. Therefore, you should inquire about where the good doctors are in your area.How can you find a good TCM practitioner? In big cities or large hospitals, there are usually good TCM practitioners. You can visit different places and see where the prenatal care patients are. Generally, those places have good practitioners. If most patients are just for check-ups, it may mean that many are drawn by the hospital's reputation, and such doctors may not have true expertise. You can tell by looking at the medical records: prenatal care patients' records are full, while check-up patients have new ones. Additionally, you can talk to other patients to ask about the doctor's skills. Ask several people, and if they all give positive feedback, you can consider seeing him. Otherwise, there's no need to bother.
When you're sick, don't just randomly seek medical help. You need to know how to choose the right doctor. Wishing your baby a healthy life.
Nursing a Child to Prevent and Treat Illness:
Children naturally have weaker spleen and stomach functions, so never overfeed them. It's easy to cause food stagnation because their bodies can't digest that much. Also, avoid giving them cold foods. Eating cold things frequently can lead to lung and stomach problems. Traditional Chinese medicine dietary therapy emphasizes treating children with "three parts cold and three parts hunger"—meaning don't dress them too warmly, as children have a pure yang constitution. If you dress them too warmly, they might get overheated, and when they take off their clothes to play, they'll experience alternating cold and heat, making it hard for their bodies to adjust and leading to illness.
It's best to drink some porridge daily, such as millet porridge, pumpkin or sweet potato porridge, or yam lotus seed porridge. These are all good for boosting qi and strengthening the spleen.
