Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. How should I treat a 10-month-old baby with a "hot" condition?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by an internal heat issue, which is related to the regulation of qi and blood in the human internal organs. It is not a very serious illness. It is recommended to use Qingwei San (Clear Stomach Powder) with modifications for treatment.Your condition may be physiological jaundice. In mild cases, it appears pale yellow, limited to the face and neck, or may affect the trunk, with sclera also becoming yellowish. It usually resolves within 2 to 3 days, and the skin color returns to normal by the 5th to 6th day. In severe cases, jaundice may start from the head and spread to the limbs, affecting the entire body. Vomitings and cerebrospinal fluid may also turn yellow. The duration of jaundice can last for more than a week, and in some premature infants, it may persist for up to 4 weeks, with the stool still remaining yellow and no bilirubin in the urine. It is recommended to use blue light therapy, which can be effective.
