Symptoms of lobar pneumonia in children

This disease belongs to the category of "asthma and cough", "lung distension", "wind and temperature". It is believed that the disease is caused by the feeling of external pathogenic factors when the healthy qi is insufficient and the function of external defense is weakened. For example, Ye Gui, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty, once pointed out that "when the pathogenic factors are treated with warming, the lung is the first to be attacked.".

Exogenous pathogens such as wind and temperature invade the human body, involving the lungs, resulting in a series of pathological changes. The external evil can be wind heat evil or wind cold evil, which invades the lung at the beginning, causes the lung to lose its circulation and cause disease, and also can accumulate heat evil in the lung, or phlegm dampness in the lung.

During the development of the disease, the fight between the evil and the positive often leads to the victory of the positive, and the syndrome of Qi and Yin injury may appear in the later stage. If the positive is more than the evil, it can form the critical syndrome of Yang Qi.
