What to do with a residual cough after a cold? These two simple methods are suitable for both children and adults
Many parents have a headache with cough after a cold, although I have written some articles, but everyone still keeps asking, so, what are the ways to help friends? Today, I would like to introduce two methods that you are familiar with to deepen your understanding. The ancients believed that the disease would develop in two directions, and the ancients made a dichotomy of this matter, simplifying things, which is yin and yang, specifically, may beimplemented in the cold and heat, they believe that one situation is that the body is developing in the direction of heat, and the other is It is possible that it will develop in the direction of cold. This may be determined by physical fitness, for example, a child especially likes to eat meat, and the body is strong, then it is very likely that the external sensation will eventually develop in the direction of heat, and the other child usually has a tummy, weak spleen and stomach, and is prone to cold, so it is easy to develop in the direction of cold after illness. Sometimes, this is also related to the nature of evil spirits, such as being prone to cold in winter and heat in summer. Moreover, it may also be a different stage of the disease, such as the cold at the beginning, which is generally cold, and when the body resists violently, it often turns into heat, etc. It is estimated that everyone will be dizzy when they hear it, why is this Chinese medicine so complicated? In fact, it is not complicated at all, Chinese medicine is very simple,you can basically ignore other factors, as long as you analyze whether the child is in a cold state or a hot state,in the end, no matter when, as long as yougrasp the cold and heat. For example, if you still have a cold after a cold, then you can treat the cold, and the cold will easily disappear, because the cough is just a symptom of the cold. However, sometimes, the cold is basically cured, but the remaining cough is always bad, what should I do at this time? At this time, it is to distinguish between cold and heat, because of the difference in the nature of physique, evil qi, and the weather, it will cause two states: cold and hot.
Chill: Roasted oranges One isthe cold syndrome,at this time there is a little cold evil left, residual in the body, the body has no way to clear itself, this is mostly due to the lack of yang energy in their own body, especially the lack of yang energy in the spleen and stomach, can not remove the residual cold evil, at this time, you can use the method I talked about foot soaking, or you can use a method that you may have heard of, that is, eatroasted oranges. The specific method is:use an orange, the color is slightly red, then turn on the gas of the stove, put it on medium heat, and then use chopsticks, put the orange on the stove to bake, soon, the place that touches the fire, it will turn black, and then, use chopsticks to reverse the orange, so that other places touch the fire, and when the orange is all black, you can turn off the fire, take the orange down, let it warm, and then peel the orange, Let the child eat the orange flesh inside. Eat one at a time, two a day, or depending on the child's age and appetite. (Another way is to put it in a wok and fry it black, if there is no suitable fire source to use). It should be noted that the color of the orange peel should be blackened, and it should not be burned into charcoal. In general, for cold coughs, this method can quickly stop the cough, and the effect is very good. In addition to the residual cough after a cold, this method also has a good effect on children who have just choked on the cold wind and start coughing. So, why is this happening? Because, the peel of the orange will be divided into two traditional Chinese medicines in traditional Chinese medicine, with the white orange inside, called tangerine peel, also called orange peel, which has the effect of regulating qi in the middle and dissolving phlegm and relieving cough. If the white meat inside is scraped off and dried, it is called orange red, orange red is bitter, bitter, and warm. Return to the lungs and spleen meridians. It can dissipate cold, dryness and dampness, improve qi and eliminate phlegm. It is used for wind and cold cough, itchy throat and phlegm, food accumulation, alcohol, vomiting and stuffiness. Therefore, the cough caused by the external wind and cold is better, but the orange red we generally use is dry, and the fresh orange peel is better, in this case it is not the older the better, the cold is to be bitter, the fresher, the better, the so-called "living Youliang" is also. And when we roast oranges, careful people will observe that in the place where the surface of the orange touches the flame, there will be flames like a volcanic eruption rising from the surface of the orange, which is a bit like the kind of flame eruption on the surface of the sun, in fact, in the orange, we believe that there are many such eruptions, at this time, the medicinal ingredients in the orange peel will evaporate to the orange flesh, so that the orange flesh has the medicinal properties of the orange peel, and the orange meat children like to eat, although it has been roasted in this way, with a slightly bitter taste, But it's much better than other medicines. A few days ago, a child had a residual cough after a few days of cold, and asked me what to do, I told the child to eat baked oranges, but the child had frequent coughs the day before, and ate an orange, and the next day, the cough was very rare, and the effect was still good. In the later stage of the cold, there are more opportunities for residual cold evil, and you can also refer to the symptoms specifically, such as the child's runny nose, cold hands and feet, slight fear of cold, fear of wind, pale tongue coating, pale tongue and so on.
Hot evidence: Sichuan shellfish stewed pear As mentioned earlier, there are remnants of the cold evil, so what if there are remnants of the heat evil? At this time, if there is yellow phlegm and yellow nasal discharge, it is necessary to continue to remove external evils, which is a manifestation of the strong evil qi. At this time, you should ask a doctor to prescribe or take some Chinese patent medicine. Ifthere is no phlegm at this time, or there is very little phlegm, but it is very viscous, it is often a dry cough, and the child's tongue is red, the stool is easy to dry, the hands and feet are easy to heat, and the urine is easy to yellow. At this time, you canuse the Chuanbei stewed pear that is widely circulated on the Internet. The specific method is:use about three grams of Chuanbei powder, cut the upper end of a white pear at the same time, dig out the pear core, put the Chuanbei powder in, and then cover it, put the pear into a bowl, add some water to the bowl, and then put it in the steamer and start steaming for about 30 minutes. Finally, take out the bowl and let it warm, eat the pears and drink the soup. In this, because Chuanbei is cool, sweet and flat, enters the lung meridian and stomach meridian, it has the effect of moistening the lungs, relieving cough and phlegm, relieving asthma, clearing heat and dissolving phlegm, so after adding pears, the effect of moistening and drying is better. I also use this recipe often, for example, once someone had a cough after a cold, lingering for almost two months, I used this small method, and the result was no cough for three days. However,we must remember that after a cold, there are generally most cold evil remains, and if there is a heat evil residue, it is often the person's physique that is hot, or it has recently become hot, or the weather is hot in summer and autumn, or the heating in the north is hot and dry in winter, etc., there must be a reason, so you need to distinguish it. Today, I put these two methods together to tell you that Chinese medicine will distinguish yin and yang for each disease, and it may be implemented in cold and heat, therefore, we must have this concept, and we must not cough at first sight, either it is Chuanbei stewed pear to cure all coughs, or roasted oranges to cure all coughs, and it is a mistake to use one method to deal with all situations. By the way,these methods can also be used if adults have similar situations,because the medical theory is the same. This article is reprinted from Dr. Dalun Law
