Abstract:

Pediatric asthmatic bronchitis is a common disease in pediatrics, which often occurs in winters and springs. Its onset features are characterized mainly by "fever, cough and wheezing". Its symptoms and signs are similar to the symptoms of "cough", "wheezing" and "shortness of breath" in traditional Chinese medicine, so it is mostly classified into the categories of "cough disease", "asthma disease" and "wind-warmness lung heat". Clinically, the "phlegm-heat blocking the lung" syndrome is more common. Therefore, Professor Peng Yu, my mentor, believes that the main pathogenesis is "phlegm-heat coagulation and internal accumulation in the lungs", and the main treatment principle is "using both cold and warm therapies to treat the symptoms and treating the lungs and spleen simultaneously to address the root cause". In my clinical work, guided by my mentor's academic thought, I have used traditional Chinese medicine to treat pediatric asthmatic bronchitis and achieved relatively satisfactory results. This article mainly introduces my experience and insights in treating pediatric asthmatic bronchitis based on my mentor's academic thought, with the aim of reducing or avoiding the use of hormones or antibiotics in children with the disease.
