In the process of children's growth and development, diet and environment have changed several times, and physical and mental development will make several leaps from quantitative change to qualitative change. Accordingly, childhood can be divided into five stages: newborn, infancy, infancy, infancy and childhood. The key points of health care in each stage are summarized as follows:

Rubbing abdomen
Site abdomen
The operator washes his hands, rubs his palm hot, and puts the ventral side of his finger or palm on the abdomen of the child. Press "Rub your abdomen around your navel" and do a circular and rhythmic movement in your abdomen.
Pay attention to the uniform, slow and gentle operation, taking the comfort of children as the degree. The child's skin is delicate, so the operator must cut it short. Children's talcum powder can be used as a medium when necessary.
Knead muscles along the spine.
Back, both sides of the spine, from the Du Meridian Vertebra to the end of coccyx.
The thumb and forefinger of the operator's hands are alternately matched, and they are pinched once in the order of pushing, pinching, twisting and releasing along both sides of the spine from bottom to top, from sacrococcygeal to lower cervical vertebra. According to the condition and constitution, it can be pinched 4-6 times. At any time from the second time, according to the symptoms of different viscera, the method of "revisiting" can be used to stimulate Shu points of back viscera to strengthen the curative effect. After the sixth time, put your thumb on the Shenshu point at the waist and press and knead it appropriately.
Zusanli point
It is located on the anterolateral side of the calf, three inches under the nose of the calf (four fingers for children) and one finger outside the anterior crest of the tibia.
Xiang Ying pt.

Sishencong point
Baihui point on the top of the head (the intersection of two ear tips and the center line of the head) is opened one inch in front, back, left and right, with a total of four points.
Abuse of antipyretics in child health care
Fever is a necessary protective mechanism for human body. Some young mothers think that children with fever will be fine if they take antipyretics. Therefore, they always give their children antipyretics. In fact, it is easy to have illusions, cover up symptoms, and make it difficult to diagnose diseases.
The average healthy person's body temperature is around 37℃. If it is higher than 37℃, it is a fever. Children's brain development is not perfect, and the function of thermoregulation center is weak. Therefore, children will have fever when they are sick, and other symptoms are not obvious, such as colds, measles, pneumonia, local infections, drug reactions, rheumatic fever and so on. Fever became a signal that the child was ill. Therefore, fever is an important sign of disease diagnosis. If fever is suppressed with antipyretics as soon as it comes up, it will often cover up the condition and make the diagnosis difficult, even when the condition is critical. In addition, some antipyretics, such as aspirin, affect the coagulation mechanism of children, leading to bleeding of skin, lungs, brain and other organs; Another example is phenacetin, which can change the low hemoglobin in newborn blood into high hemoglobin, reduce the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells, lead to tissue hypoxia, and even brain edema, convulsions, coma and so on. Therefore, it is not good for children to give antipyretics easily.
When a child has a fever, we should find out the reason and then carry out symptomatic treatment or etiological treatment. If the child's temperature does not exceed 38℃, antipyretics are generally not needed, and close observation during treatment is enough. Of course, the child's body temperature is too high. If it reaches above 39℃, it will seriously affect his health, and convulsions may occur. In this case, antipyretics can be used on the basis of active treatment, and physical cooling methods can be used at the same time, such as alcohol bath and ice pack cooling.
Abuse of antibiotics in child health care
Epidemiological investigation shows that more than 90% of upper respiratory tract infections are caused by virus infection.
Therefore, the routine use of antibiotics in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections is not appropriate, and it will also cause the threat of antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria and its adverse reactions, as well as the waste of drugs. Don't use chloramphenicol and streptomycin as soon as your child gets sick, no matter what the reason is. If antibiotics such as streptomycin, neomycin, gentamicin and kanamycin are used for a long time, it will affect the auditory nerve and cause dizziness, tinnitus and even deafness. Use of chloramphenicol may lead to aplastic anemia. Children under 8 years old, especially newborns, take tetracycline and oxytetracycline, which can easily lead to yellow teeth and hypoplasia of enamel, so children should not use tetracycline and oxytetracycline.
Children's health care is a disease with many drugs.
Children suffer from a disease, and parents often go hand in hand with multiple drugs. As everyone knows, if the drugs are mixed too much, the interaction can be offset, and the toxic reactions add up, which will not only have poor curative effect, but also have adverse reactions. If sulfanilamide is combined with Vc, it can aggravate nephrotoxicity; The combination of penicillin and aspirin will reduce the antibacterial effect of penicillin. As for penicillin, chloramphenicol and sulfonamides together, or penicillin, cephalosporin and gentamicin together, there are also the above risks.
Children's health care, weak tonic
Nowadays, the phenomenon of giving children tonics is everywhere. Parents' original intention is to strengthen their children's physique and promote their development, but due to lack of medical knowledge, it backfired and made up for the problem. A doctor reported that nine babies had nervous system symptoms after taking ginseng, and another child had convulsions and coma after taking a large dose of ginseng, and finally died. The expert's advice is that healthy children had better not take supplements, and frail children over 5 years old can take them as appropriate, but under the guidance of a doctor. Parents should not make their own decisions in case of accidents.
Children's health care should avoid abusing vitamins.
Vitamins do play an important role in children's growth and development, but we should not blindly think that the more the better. Many medicinal vitamins have certain adverse reactions and even toxic reactions, especially fat-soluble vitamins. Too much or too long dosage may cause accumulation and poisoning in the body. For example, eating too much cod liver oil (including Va and Vd) can cause fever, anorexia, irritability and impaired liver and kidney function. Although water-soluble vitamins are safer, they should not be ignored. If Vc is ingested too much, it will induce urinary calculi and bone embrittlement. Therefore, nutritionists emphasize that natural vitamins in food should be the best choice.
Knowledge and methods of child health care in traditional Chinese medicine 3 How to regulate children's spleen and stomach? Find the reason first and then adjust.

If not controlled, eating cold food will easily damage the spleen and stomach, resulting in spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, affecting the digestion and absorption of food and the intake of nutrients.
3. Irrational drug use. After the child fell ill, parents were very anxious, so they took many drugs orally in a short time, especially some western medicines with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, such as aspirin, paracetamol, indomethacin and erythromycin. These drugs stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, causing nausea, vomiting and other diseases. In this way, although the disease was cured, it left the future trouble of stomach injury. In the long run, it will affect the digestion and absorption of food, resulting in malnutrition and "sallow and emaciated".
4. The human body lacks trace elements. If zinc deficiency can lead to diarrhea and anorexia; Calcium deficiency leads to growth stagnation, convulsions and so on. Iron deficiency causes anemia, anorexia and growth stagnation. These can make the human body absorb insufficient nutrition and make the child "sallow and emaciated" for a long time.
5. Nutritional imbalance. Children have no self-control ability and eat without restraint. Once eaten too much, it will damage the spleen and stomach, cause digestive disorders, malabsorption, sallow and emaciated. Some parents think that their children are not nutritious enough, so they should make greater efforts to prepare delicious food for their children. It leads to the increase of gastrointestinal burden, further damage to the spleen and stomach, and enters a vicious circle.
