Pediatric spleen and stomach are weak, easily damaged by milk, cold food, and accumulated heat, resulting in spleen deficiency and inability to transform water and grains into essence. Instead, it produces phlegm and turbidity, which accumulates in the lungs and obstructs the airways. This leads to coughing, known as phlegmy cough. Now let me teach you pediatric phlegmy cough massage.
Pediatric Phlegmy Cough Main Symptoms
Coughing with phlegm, pale and watery in color, chest tightness and epigastric distention, poor appetite, fatigue, tongue pale red, white and slippery coating, slippery pulse, fingerprints pale blue.
Pediatric Phlegmy Cough Analysis of Symptoms
The lungs store phlegm, and the spleen and stomach produce phlegm. If the lungs are deficient, the phlegm cannot be transformed; if the spleen is deficient, the dampness cannot be transported. Therefore, it is evident that phlegm and dampness originate from the spleen and stomach, and then infiltrate the lungs, resulting in symptoms such as cough with phlegm, pale and watery in color. When phlegm and dampness accumulate internally, symptoms such as chest tightness, epigastric distention, poor appetite, and fatigue occur. A slippery pulse and a white and slippery coating on the tongue indicate phlegm and dampness accumulation.
