Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. What should I do if my two-year-old has a fever and bad breath these days?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be caused by an excess of stomach fire. When the stomach fire is strong, it is referred to as "stomach heat" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which indicates an issue in the regulation of internal organ qi and blood in the body. It is not a very serious condition. TCM uses the term "fire" to describe certain heat-related symptoms in the body. It is recommended to use Qingwei San (Clear Stomach Powder) with modifications for treatment. Based on your symptoms, they primarily fall under the category of insufficient lung qi and lung qi deficiency leading to spontaneous sweating. The treatment should focus on replenishing lung qi, consolidating yin, and stopping sweat. Yu Ping Feng San Granules can be used for this purpose.
