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. Could you please tell me why a two-year-old baby might have dry bowel movements?Doctor's answer:

It is also known as Large Intestine Fluid Deficiency Syndrome. Excessive internal heat in the intestines can be treated with Bian Nai Tong Cha. Based on what you mentioned, it is mainly a symptom of constipation, which is caused by accumulated heat in the stomach and intestines and loss of body fluids.
