Although it is a medicine, its taste is easily accepted by people, and it can not only strengthen the body but also treat diseases. Therefore, during cold weather seasons, the market for Gao Fang is hot. Can children take ointment formulas and how do they eat them? Let's continue reading... can babies also take ointment formulas? Can babies take ointment formulas? Many parents believe that their children should not take ointments because they are in the growth and development stage, their bodies are immature, and there is a significant difference from adults. Traditional Chinese medicine refers to children as the "pure yang body", believing that they have both a vibrant and vigorous side of their body, as well as a weaker resistance to diseases. Moreover, a slight carelessness in diet can harm the spleen and stomach. Given the physiological characteristics of children, parents are hesitant to give them ointments. However, Qian Yi, a pediatric expert in the Song Dynasty, summarized the physiological characteristics of children as "soft and weak organs, prone to deficiency and excess, and prone to cold and heat". So, since children have both deficiency and substance, they can be treated, and a good tasting cream formula is naturally the ideal treatment dosage form. Using a formula that nourishes qi and invigorates the spleen can regulate the spleen and stomach, enhance appetite, and aid digestion; The use of nourishing lung qi ointments can enhance physical fitness and enhance disease resistance. Prescriptions for taking cream for young children should be targeted. Considering the characteristics of a child's "pure yang body", it can only be adjusted and treated, and cannot be heavily or purely supplemented. It is not appropriate to supplement the symptoms, nor can it be replenished for a long time. When the disease has basically recovered and there are no obvious symptoms, the use of ointment should be stopped to prevent the occurrence of yin and yang imbalance in the body, which may affect growth and development. Traditional Chinese medicine clinical use of ointment formulas to treat children with poor appetite, chronic diarrhea, asthma, hyperhidrosis, enuresis, ADHD, and precocious puberty. According to the differentiation of syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine, diseases can be divided into two categories: deficiency and excess. Different prescriptions should be selected according to different conditions when using ointments. Therefore, when children take ointments, they should be guided by experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and take them according to the prescription. If they purchase the "Thousand person ointments" from the market on their own, it is possible to achieve twice the result with half the effort and have the opposite effect. Take the ointment twice a day, with 1 spoon each time. The dosage for children can be smaller. During the period of tonifying, it is best to do a good job of "homework". Before children's tonifying, it is best to strengthen the function of the spleen and stomach, so that the tonifying medicine will not encounter the "funnel" of the spleen and stomach, and prevent ineffective tonifying or even exacerbating spleen and stomach diseases. Children with weak spleen and stomach, especially those who frequently use antibiotics and often have digestive disorders such as dull stomach, recurrent diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, and thick tongue coating, should first take "Kaikai Fang" to adjust spleen and stomach function. During the period of taking the cream, tea, radish, coffee, cola, and raw, cold, and slippery foods are generally avoided. When children have a fever, cold, acute diarrhea, vomiting, or asthma attack, they should stop taking the ointment. After the disease is cured, they should consult a doctor to see if they can continue taking it, in order to avoid adverse reactions caused by the combination of the disease and the ointment.
