Causes of childhood asthma

BY Carol Carey 2020-05-24

  Pediatric asthma is usually caused by the interaction of internal and external factors. Regarding internal factors, Western medicine explained that the child is allergic or the child''s resistance is low, and it is easy to get sick. The explanation of traditional Chinese medicine is that the child has a congenital insufficiency or an acquired insufficiency of righteousness.

   Regarding external causes, Western medicine explained that there are various allergens. The explanation of traditional Chinese medicine is that the wind, cold, heat, dampness, and dryness of the fire can cause diseases when they are inadequate or excessive.

  Pediatric asthma has a certain relationship with heredity. If the parents of the child have asthma, the incidence of asthma in the child is 60%. If one parent has asthma, the child’s asthma incidence is 20%.

  Parents should help their children improve their physical fitness while avoiding these common allergens. As for patients with asthma, especially children, once a cold or fever occurs, parents must not misuse antipyretics to avoid triggering asthma attacks. The medicine should be used according to the doctor''s instructions. It is recommended to consider Chinese medicine instead of aspirin and other drugs to achieve anti-inflammatory and fever reduction, which is safer for patients.

  Pediatric asthma pays attention to internal treatment and external treatment. Internal treatment is the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. There are four types of external treatment: Chinese medicine fumigation, Chinese medicine hot compress, acupoint cupping, and Chinese medicine acupoint closure.

  Chinese herbal medicine fumigation is to boil Chinese herbal medicine into soup, put it in a certain container, put the container into the bottom of the bed to warm, fumigate the exposed skin.

  Chinese medicine hot compress is to crush the first-class Chinese medicinal materials into a bag, wet the bag with vinegar and water in a ratio of two to one, wrap it with plastic film, and make the skin unwind by temperature and medicinal properties vent. Can warm the lungs and disperse cold, cough and phlegm and asthma.

   Acupuncture point closure of traditional Chinese medicine is acupuncture at lung acupoints on both sides of the back. You can pass the meridian to stop cough and reduce phlegm.
