Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always cry a lot. Please tell me what's wrong with the secretions in the eyes and the upward rolling of the left eye?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be caused by an excess of liver fire. When the liver fire is strong, it is referred to in Traditional Chinese Medicine as "liver fire rising," which is a result of an imbalance in the body's internal organ qi and blood regulation. It is not a very serious illness. Traditional Chinese Medicine uses the term "fire" to describe certain hot symptoms in the body. It is recommended to use Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) with modifications for treatment. Since there are various triggers for pediatric retinal diseases, it is essential to identify the underlying cause before treatment and follow the principle of treating the symptoms. Additionally, lifestyle care measures are indispensable. It is advised to drink more water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins regularly.
