What should you do if your child is scared?

Patient's question:

The doctor said my daughter was frightened, and there was a sharp pain in her palm. But he said since she had been frightened for a long time, it couldn't be treated. But I don't know when she got frightened. She keeps crying, but what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

The child is young and has poor regulation ability in various physical functions. They are easily startled, and after being startled, they may experience symptoms such as crying, poor appetite, low-grade fever, and drowsiness. Parents should strengthen care for the child, hug them more, communicate with them through words and eye contact to give them a sense of security. Toys can also be used to distract the child's attention. If the child's startle symptoms are more pronounced and they show signs of drowsiness, Jingfeng Wan can be administered, and the child should be given more boiled water to drink.
