What are the symptoms of wind-heat cold in children

I believe everyone is familiar with wind-heat cold in children, right? Every family has children. In life, children are bound to catch colds. Wind-heat cold in children is one of the diseases that children are prone to. What are the specific symptoms of wind-heat cold in children? And what should we pay attention to after children suffer from wind-heat cold? Next, let us take a look at the symptoms of wind-heat cold in children and what details we need to pay attention to.

In winter, colds caused by wind and cold are common, but colds caused by wind and heat are also common. Unlike wind-cold colds, the main symptoms of wind-heat colds in children are high fever, mild chills, sweating or little sweating, headache and nasal congestion, sore throat, and rapid pulse (i.e., fast pulse). Many babies with wind-heat colds will feel thirsty and want to drink water, with red tips on the tongue and a thin yellow coating.

Babies' wind-heat colds need to be treated with spicy and cool herbs to relieve the symptoms. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Beijing Tong Ren Tang's Children's Cold Granules (oral liquid). The main ingredients of children's cold granules (oral liquid) are patchouli, chrysanthemum, forsythia, isatis indigotica, isatis root, rehmannia, lycium bark, iris grandiflora, mint, and gypsum, and the auxiliary ingredient is sucrose. This medicine clears away heat and relieves exterior symptoms, and is a common home medicine for treating wind-heat colds in children.

There are many requirements for caring for children with wind-heat cold. Parents should pay special attention to not "heating" their babies in winter, let alone "making them sweat". If your baby has a wind-heat cold, parents can apply a wet towel to the child's forehead and use physical cooling methods to reduce fever, without exposing the child to cold. Of course, it is also necessary to give your baby more water to help sweat and dissipate heat.

To prevent and treat wind-heat colds in children, in addition to keeping Beijing Tongrentang's Children's Cold Granules (oral liquid) at home, you should also pay more attention to your baby's daily routine and diet. You should stick to a reasonable diet, reduce spicy and irritating foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Nowadays, babies can eat a lot of meat. Experts remind us that children’s diet in winter should be a combination of meat and vegetables, with a reasonable dietary structure, and they should eat less fatty and greasy foods. If you are recovering from a wind-heat cold, you should stay away from heavy fish and meat. Traditional Chinese medicine has a saying that "a fever will be cured with little effort, but eating meat will cause it to relapse, and eating too much will cause sequelae." This means that if people with a fever or when the fever has just subsided, eating meat will prolong the disease and not heal it, and it may cause the disease to recur or cause sequelae. Therefore, people with wind-heat colds should not eat meat. You can eat more light foods in moderation, such as cabbage, white radish, pears, sweet oranges, etc.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone already basically knows the symptoms of wind-heat cold in children. The article also introduces to us in detail what we need to pay attention to when children suffer from wind-heat cold. Therefore, in the future, if your child suffers from a pediatric wind-heat cold, you must take reasonable measures to treat and prevent it in time.
