Patient's question:
My son was fed with milk from the moment he was born. For the first four months, he consumed milk and plain water, without any detoxifying herbs. He was detoxified with plain water because I was afraid of the side effects of medication. Now he is five months old and has damp-heat issues. How should I regulate his condition? What medications are free of side effects?Doctor's answer:
Internal heat manifests as nosebleeds, yellow urine, and dry stools, as well as poor appetite. It is recommended to pay attention to a light diet, drink plenty of boiled water, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Avoid spicy and fried foods that are. You can give the child some honeysuckle extract. It is suggested to avoid medication for the time being. Excessive dampness in the body can make one feel sluggish, heavy limbs, lack of appetite, cold hands and feet, skin rashes, and discomfort in the face, and even lead to gastroenteritis. Cold foods, ice cream, or cooling fruits and vegetables can stagnate the digestive and absorption functions of the stomach and intestines, so they should not be consumed in unlimited quantities. Examples include lettuce, salads, watermelon, cabbage, and bitter gourds. It is best to add scallions and ginger when cooking to reduce the cooling properties of the vegetables.
