Abstract: Allergic diseases are on the rise year by year,and allergic diseases in children account for half of them; the phenomenon of allergic process in children has appeared,that is,from atopic dermatitis and food allergy in infancy to the development of allergic rhinitis and asthma in childhood,and the allergic process in children has become a key problem in this field.This article briefly introduces the concept and pathogenesis of allergic process in children,particularly discussing lung-spleen interaction from the perspective of mother-child interaction in five elements of traditional Chinese medicine.Pulmonary defense system governs breath; spleen governs transportation and transformation and regulates liquid metabolism; the function of lung and spleen and lung-spleen interaction are closely related to atopic dermatitis in children,food allergy,allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma respectively.This paper also clarifies that lung-spleen interaction participates in the whole allergic process of children.At present,the prevention and treatment of the process of childhood allergy is still in the exploratory stage,and modern medicine starts with three-stage prevention.The traditional Chinese medicine adheres to the concept of "holistic concept" and "simultaneous treatment of different diseases",which is expected to carry out traditional Chinese medicine intervention in children with initial manifestations of lung and spleen deficiency from secondary prevention or even from the primary prevention period of identification of physique(lung and spleen deficiency),such as medicated diet,massage and taking Chinese medicine orally and other effective methods,in order to delay or even block the development of children′s allergic process.This paper provides a strong theoretical basis and support.
