Patient's question:
Hello! Is it okay for children to wear wool blankets, will it cause fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello:In daily life, parents often notice that their children frequently suffer from "" (a condition of internal heat). After a period of time, symptoms such as colds, fever, cough, sore throat, constipation, and dark yellow urine may appear. In severe cases, conditions like pneumonia or myocarditis may develop.
The modern medical explanation for "" is inflammation, which is often caused by various bacteria or viruses invading the body, or due to poor digestion or impaired excretion in children. Undigested food residues remain in the child's body and are not promptly excreted through the bowels. Over time, these residues produce toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, forming harmful substances. These harmful substances can cause inflammation within the body, thereby reducing immunity and making the body more susceptible to external viruses. Children suffering from "" often develop tonsillitis or pharyngitis. During the body's natural immune process, they are easily affected by external pathogens such as wind-cold or various viruses, leading to conditions like colds, mumps, or chickenpox. Therefore, "" is an underlying cause in children that requires timely treatment.
Children have delicate organs and immature organ development. Direct laxative use can severely damage their gastrointestinal function, causing dysbiosis of gut flora. Clinical treatment often employs traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) because it is free of side effects and provides a stable therapeutic effect. In addition to selecting the correct medication, dietary adjustments should be made in daily life, such as eating more vegetables and fruits. During spring, it is especially important to stay hydrated and engage in outdoor activities to eliminate the underlying causes of "" at the root.
Don't worry—ensure warmth and avoid catching a cold.
