Patient's question:
My child is two and a half years old. During the day, she urinates frequently, but she sleeps normally at night. During the day, when she says she needs to urinate, I just need to hug her, and she stops. Then, after a while, she urinates again. How should this be treated? Currently, I am giving her traditional Chinese medicine, but please don't translate it.Doctor's answer:
This issue is what the common people often refer to as "small intestinal fire." According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is caused by the downward movement of heart fire. Most children can gradually recover on their own. They can take some traditional Chinese medicine, which generally has a good effect, but it should not be taken for too long. Friendly reminder: Please consult a pediatric department in a formal traditional Chinese medicine hospital for follow-up treatment. Male patients can understand professional treatment while using folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. In daily dietary habits, proper eating habits should be maintained to avoid stimulating foods.
