The baby's fever is reduced very quickly with soybean water!

When I took my daughter out to play after dinner, she was fine, but two of the children she was playing with had fever, one of them was on an IV drip, and the other was taking medicine. I also discussed the issue of children's fever with their mothers. If the temperature is not particularly high, the tongue coating is not dry and yellow, and there are no serious symptoms such as irritability and crying, you can try soybean water or rock sugar and white sugar water. They were very active in discussing it with me, but my daughter didn't want me to chat with others and shouted that she wanted to go home and sleep. On the way home, I suddenly felt that my daughter's palms were very hot. When I touched her forehead, it was burning hot. She had a fever.

Go home and feel your pulse, press lightly and heavily, and look at the pale tongue coating to determine whether it is a fever caused by deficiency of the middle part of the body. I first gave her a bowl of thick rock sugar water (mainly because it was past 9 o'clock and I wanted to save trouble). My daughter happily drank it all in one breath and ate all the rock sugar residue. But I didn't sweat at all.

After a while, while I was packing up, I asked her if she was sweating, and she replied, "No, it's windy and it's cool." It's very hot tonight, and there is not even a trace of wind. Suddenly I thought of the liver wood governing the wind. My daughter said that the wind might be more related to the liver and gallbladder, and soybean water might be more suitable. So I quickly boiled soybean water. Because I thought it was too late, I put in about 50 soybeans. After boiling over high heat, I simmered it over medium heat for half an hour, but the beans were still not cooked. There was very little water left (about half a bowl of water, about 150 ml), so I poured it out and coaxed my daughter to drink it.

About ten minutes later, my daughter said she wanted to go to sleep. When I held her in my arms, I touched her forehead and found it was slightly sweaty, but not so hot anymore. What's even more amazing is that when she got to bed, she asked to cover herself with a blanket, and wrapped up the entire area below her neck (she was never allowed to cover herself with anything when sleeping before, and at most she was advised to wear a belly protector, and she was only allowed to put on a gauze sleeping bag after she fell into a deep sleep). She soon broke out in a sweat, and the temperature dropped completely.

I have to once again sigh at the greatness of circular motion and the magic of soybean water. It took less than three hours from the discovery of the fever to the subsidence of the fever, which is much faster than taking medicine or getting an injection. My daughter was sleeping very soundly. I lifted the blanket off her, carried her to the crib, put her in a small sleeping bag, and put a towel under her back, but she didn't wake up. In the past, when she had a fever, I would basically let her get over it on her own in a day or two (occasionally with massage), but she would sleep very restlessly at night, sometimes needing me to hold her in my arms until midnight.

In addition, I reflected that this unexplained fever might be related to the old saying of "passing away the disease qi". I never believed in these things before and thought they were superstitions, but as I raise my children and come into contact with traditional Chinese medicine, I believe more and more in some old traditions. For example, young children should not go out at night, they should avoid things related to the dead, and they should not go to places that are unpopular or too dark, etc. Anyway, children should be exposed to more yang energy and be isolated from things that are too yin. Generally speaking, a simple fever should not be contagious, but in fact, three of the five children who played together had a fever on the same day (one did not), and then my daughter also had a fever tonight. She might have been infected with the disease. This is my real thought, please don’t criticize me.

Soybean water cough recipe: If a child has a cough, boil 50 soybeans and one cabbage heart and drink the decoction. This recipe can cure the rash from its initial stage to complete recovery. Take it daily and the child will be safe. When rashes are prevalent, taking one dose a day can also prevent them. If the child has a hot constitution, is prone to constipation, or starts coughing. Take a dose of soybean and Chinese cabbage water every day. Soak 50 soybeans for one hour, cook for 40 minutes, add a cabbage heart, and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes. To save cabbage, remove the green leaves on the outside and use the white part inside. Use 50 to 100 grams of cabbage each time.

Sidouyin treats fever: If you have a fever, boil and drink Sidouyin. Recipe for Four-Bean Drink: 20 soybeans, 15 each of black beans, mung beans, and white rice beans (also called white kidney beans). You can use more in this ratio. All four kinds of beans are used raw. Add plenty of water and cook until they are soft. Take the thick soup and drink it warm. Take it immediately after decocting, do not let it cool or leave it overnight. Children with excessive urine volume and sweating do not need to add white rice beans. Soak the four beans in water for an hour and then cook for 30 to 40 minutes.

If the right pulse is heavy and full when pressed, rice beans can be replaced with light fermented black beans to regulate wood and relieve stagnation. Rice beans can remove dampness and replenish the earth, but are not suitable for people with sufficient pulses. Four-bean drink with light fermented black beans: 20 soybeans, 15 each of black beans, mung beans, and light fermented black beans. (If there is dampness in the body and urination is difficult, use white rice beans. If there is food accumulation in the body and defecation is difficult, use light black beans.)

Boil soybeans in water to treat oral ulcers: If your child has blisters, ulcers, mouth pain, and loss of appetite in his mouth, boil 50 soybeans in water, make a thick soup, and give it to your child to drink. Do not take dispersing medicines, cold medicines, and tonic medicines. Don't eat cold fruits.
