Patient's question:
My son is already 8 years old. Recently, while washing his hair, I noticed that he has grown many white hairs on his head, and the trend is getting worse. He also often feels dry mouth and tongue, with hands and feet feeling particularly hot, and some of his teeth are loose. Is it because of yin deficiency in the liver and kidneys that these conditions are recurring in my son?What kind of assistance I need: I would like to know what symptoms are associated with yin deficiency in the liver and kidneys in children? Is my son currently experiencing yin deficiency in the liver and kidneys?
Doctor's answer:
If the liver and kidney yin deficiency occurs, it may lead to children experiencing premature graying of hair again. The symptoms of liver and kidney yin deficiency are primarily manifested as dizziness, forgetfulness, headaches, hot flashes, palpitations, frequent dreams with poor sleep, restlessness, dry mouth, feverish bones and muscles, red tongue with little coating, sore waist and knees, dry and unclear eyes, costal pain, five-palm heat, flushed cheeks with night sweats, dry mouth and throat, insomnia with frequent dreams. Based on your description, your son does exhibit some of these symptoms, but I cannot confirm it entirely. I suggest you take your child to the hospital for a check-up.The above is my advice on the question "What are the symptoms of liver and kidney yin deficiency in children?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
