Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if a child has warm hands and feet?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if your hands and feet are always warm, it may indicate poor peripheral circulation. When cold, your feet tend to feel cold, and when hot, your body struggles to dissipate heat. For adults, it is usually considered a sign of kidney yin deficiency, but for babies, it is likely normal, with a higher possibility of being physiological.Hello, no matter what type of cough the child has, it is important to encourage them to drink plenty of water actively. Don’t wait until they are thirsty to remind them to drink. If the baby drinks an adequate amount of water, it can help thin mucus secretions, making them easier to cough out.
If you prefer a dietary approach, you can try using 3-5 large slices of white radish, 3 thin slices of ginger, and 3 jujubes. Add 3-4 bowls of water, bring it to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes. Strain the liquid and add honey, then bring it to a boil again. Serve the warm liquid to the baby.
White radish helps to expel phlegm and relieve coughs, ginger dispels wind-cold, and jujubes aid in digestion.
