Abstract

Asthma is a common chronic airway disease in children. Clinically, recurrent wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough are the main symptoms, which often attack or aggravate at night and/ or in the early morning. At present, the prevalence of childhood asthma is on the rise, which seriously affects the physical and mental health and growth of children. Childhood asthma belongs to the categories of "wheezing", "asthma", "cough variant asthma" and so on. Asthma is mostly related to the dysfunction of lung, liver, spleen and kidney, so attention should be paid to the treatment of lung, liver, spleen, and kidney. According to the clinical symptoms and TCM syndrome differentiation, children's asthma is cold, heat, deficiency and reality. The main treatment principle is to warm the lung to reduce watery phlegm, relieve asthma and clear the lung. Among them, warm lung drinking includes three aspects: warming lung and dispersing cold, promoting lung function and relieving cough, resolving phlegm and relieving asthma.
