What should I do if my child has swollen lymph nodes?

Lymph nodes are very important nodes in the circulatory system, just as important as blood circulation. The lymph nodes are responsible for the transport of water in the body and are very important to the health of the body. Lymphatic health issues are becoming increasingly important issues in modern life. For example, swollen lymph nodes are quite common in children. Let’s take a look at what to do if swollen lymph nodes occur in children?

1. Do not eat fish, shrimp, spicy, raw or cold food in the short term.

2. Eat less meat to avoid adding extra burden to the already exhausted stomach and intestines, which may lead to acute gastroenteritis.

3. Clove appetite patches are sold everywhere. Applying them on the navel has a certain effect in relieving abdominal pain and small intestinal spasms.

4. The mother can go to the local Class-A tertiary Chinese medicine hospital to get some Chinese herbal decoctions for her child. Chinese medicine is very effective in treating intestinal lymphadenopathy. Generally, one dose of medicine should be taken for 3 days. For babies who are difficult to feed, you can feed them less each time and multiple times a day. For babies who can accept it, 3 spoons can be taken three times a day. With the use of navel stickers, abdominal pain will usually be relieved after 1 week.

5. Get more rest, go to bed early, and sleep more. Avoid strenuous exercise or overwork. Babies who go to kindergarten can rest at home for a week.

6. Mothers should not repeatedly ask the child if it hurts. Treat the child calmly to avoid giving the child psychological hints that the child will have stomachaches when he doesn't want to do something.

7. Appropriately and scientifically improve children's immunity to avoid swollen lymph nodes

For children who suffer from recurrent colds, it is necessary to improve their immunity in a reasonable and scientific way. Old people usually believe that letting children eat more and eat more meat is good for their health. For example, protein powder improves immunity. Protein is an indispensable nutrient for the human body, but it is not suitable for children with a pure yang body. Or you can eat bovine colostrum. Bovine colostrum is completely different from human colostrum. Bovine colostrum only participates in the immune system of the baby cow. When taken by the baby human, it only passes through the digestive system transiently, so it cannot play a role in improving immunity.

Therefore, a reasonable and healthy diet, drinking plenty of boiled water, proper exercise, regular work and rest time, and a relaxed family life are the hard truths to ensure your baby's immunity.
