How to treat children’s allergic cough with traditional Chinese medicine?

Because children are young and have very poor physical constitution, they are very prone to allergic cough. When an allergic cough occurs, the cough will recur, causing great suffering to the child. It is a very painful thing for both parents and children. Allergic cough is also called cough variant asthma. So how can children with allergic cough be treated with Chinese medicine?

Chinese medicine treatment should be tailored to the child

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that children have a "pure yang body", like the "rising sun". Their yang constitution is prone to heat, fever and convulsions. They generally have few cold or weak constitutions. Even if they catch a cold, they are easily affected by heat. Therefore, most of the diseases they suffer from are fever diseases. Therefore, heat-clearing drugs are used more often and warming drugs are used less often.

Because children have not grown well, they often have "lung deficiency, liver excess, and spleen deficiency". The "lung deficiency" makes them prone to colds, the "liver excess" makes them prone to high fever and convulsions, and the "spleen deficiency" makes them prone to vomiting and diarrhea. Based on the above three physical characteristics, children should be diagnosed and treated differently from adults.

The current Western medical method for treating allergic cough is the same as that for treating asthma, which is mainly inhaled bronchodilators, such as inhaled corticosteroids. Although traditional Chinese medicine does not have the concept of "allergic cough", it does have corresponding treatments for coughs and coughs with allergic cough characteristics. However, they must be treated symptomatically, and the amount of medicine used varies for people with different physical constitutions.
