ABSTRACT
The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in pediatric care has a long history,proven efficacy,and distinctive characteristics.The China Association of Chinese Medicine has organized a series of youth salons to discuss the clinical advantages of treating diseases.Experts at this seminar proposed that the superior disease categories in pediatric TCM are significant for showcasing the unique strengths and advantages of TCM in the treatment of pediatric diseases,enhancing diagnostic and treatment levels,inheriting TCM knowledge,promoting the integration of TCM and Western medicine,and meeting patients' needs.The strengths of pediatric TCM are summed up as "having what others do not,excelling at what others have,being special in what others excel at,and ensuring safety in what others specialize in." The scope of superiority in pediatric TCM covers multiple systems,including respiratory,digestive,endocrine,psychological,and dermatological systems.This article summarized the advantages of TCM in treating 13 diseases discussed in the salon,such as upper respiratory tract infections,coughs,pneumonia,allergic rhinitis,bronchial asthma,atopic dermatitis,functional dyspepsia,functional constipation,enuresis,marginal short stature,simple obesity,attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,and tic disorders.The overall advantages were reflected in three aspects:First,the holistic concept and treatment based on syndrome differentiation in TCM highlight the advantage of treating the root causes of diseases,making the treatment methodical and precise.Second,most traditional Chinese herbs are natural and have strong safety profiles.Third,TCM treatment methods are abundant,especially the external treatment methods,which are widely used in pediatrics,highly accepted by parents,and have definite efficacy,as well as good safety and compliance.
