What are the reasons why children have fever?

In people's daily lives, there are always some factors that may lead to diseases. Children are more likely to get sick than adults. Fever in children is a very common disease. There are many reasons that cause children to have a fever. Parents do not understand the reasons for their children's fever and cannot provide their children with appropriate treatment. So, what are the reasons why children have fever?

First, what are the reasons for children to have a fever? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that children have immature yin and yang bodies, their qi and blood are not sufficient, their internal organs are not solid, and their spleen is often insufficient. If they are not fed properly or are affected by external evil, it is easy to cause spleen and stomach dysfunction and dysfunction of transportation and transformation. Due to weak spleen and stomach, children may suffer from coughing and sputum, colds and fever, diarrhea and constipation, malnutrition, anemia and other pediatric diseases. The use of antibiotics can cause great harm to the spleen and stomach. Many babies often catch colds and fevers, and once they are sick they need intravenous drips and antibiotics to be cured. In fact, in the long run, this will greatly damage their own immune system, causing pediatric diseases to enter a vicious cycle. The reasons for children's fever can be listed as follows: 1. Cold: Cold and fever are caused by the five internal organs regulating the five qi to generate physical energy and body temperature. If the five internal organs regulate the five qi, the heat cannot be discharged and the skin pores are blocked by the qi of wind, summer heat, cold, dampness, and dryness and fire. That is, the pores of the lungs are contracted (the lungs control the skin and fur), resulting in body temperature and heat being unable to be discharged from the skin pores. This is the most common cold with fever. Colds and fevers are not caused by foreign bacteria or viruses invading the body, nor is it caused by the loss of control of the central nervous system that regulates body temperature. It is just that the body's epidermis and pores are blocked. They are divided into colds, typhoid fever, heatstroke, dampness, heat, etc., which are called superficial symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine. Bacteria and viruses have not entered the body at all. The classics say: "The cold evil is bound outside, the yang cannot escape, and it becomes heat (fever)".

Second, 2. Injury from food: Improper diet and weak spleen and stomach cause food to accumulate in the stomach and intestines. The food cannot be digested and accumulates and ferments in the stomach and intestines, generating heat energy and causing fever. This happens most often in infants and young children. This fever causes hot palms and limbs, unlike a cold which causes cold limbs. The fever will subside and the patient will recover after the food is digested. 3. Pox: Fever caused by pox is prompting the virus to produce immune function, such as the temperature generated when millet and various seeds germinate. Pox must have a fever to encourage the virus to be completely eliminated, produce immune function, and enable the five internal organs to adjust the five qi without causing any obstruction. Therefore, there is no need to reduce the fever when pox occurs. You only need to pay attention to your diet during the pox outbreak to avoid the occurrence of complications. The fever of pox will subside and heal as soon as it is completely cured. The body's immune function will be established and it will be less likely to get sick again. Measles and roseola infantum fall into this category.

What are the reasons for a child's fever? Drug poisoning: The three-in-one vaccine can cause drug poisoning, headache, vomiting, and fever, which is called "aseptic cerebrospinal meningitis" in Western medicine. Or if the white blood cell count rises to 30,000 or 50,000 and the fever does not subside, it is leukemia. The fever will subside after detoxification, and the white blood cell count will also drop, indicating recovery. 5. Children have a fever when they are teething: Teeth are the residual qi of bones, and the kidney controls bones. When babies are teething, the spleen earth is weak and cannot control the kidney water. The earth cannot control water because of spleen deficiency rather than infection (inflammation). As long as the spleen and stomach are regulated, the fever can be cured. No anti-inflammatory or fever-reducing drugs are needed. 6. Fright: The seven emotions are not smooth. For example, if a child is frightened and has abdominal distension and fever, the disease will heal as long as the shock is relieved. Emotional problems, depression and worry will damage the spleen and cause fever, and the fever will subside as the distension and gas are relieved. 7. Transformation fever: This is a term used in traditional Chinese medicine. There is currently no clear cause. It is believed that it is a transformation process as children grow up. The characteristic of transformation fever is fever for no particular reason. There are no other symptoms except fever. You can see small white beans inside the upper lips, which are called transformation beads. This fever is normal and does not require treatment.
