Patient's question:
My baby is a premature infant. He was born at 7 months, and his health has always been poor. He has a weak immune system. He often catches colds, runs a nose, coughs, and has phlegm. Medications don't seem to help, and he also has diarrhea, two to three times a day. I've tried all sorts of methods, but he's still not getting better. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Reason 1: Too many clothes and they are too thick. Some parents, feeling slightly cool, quickly add more clothes for their children. In fact, dressing children in too many clothes is not beneficial because children's body temperature is generally higher than that of the elderly and adults, and they have yang fire and high activity levels. Wearing too many clothes makes children sweat a lot when they move. If the sweat is not wiped dry in time, it is very easy for them to catch a cold.
