Patient's question:
My son might have a bit of a heat issue these two days. In the morning after waking up, he had a bowel movement but not much. In the afternoon, he tried to have a bowel movement but it was very difficult, and the stool was a bit larger than beans, appearing granular. Will drinking honey water help?Doctor's answer:
Children getting "hot" is a very common term, and there is no such term in medical science. "Getting hot" primarily refers to the symptoms of heat in children, such as constipation, sore throat, red lips, and irritability. It also depends on the characteristics of different organs. For example, if there is excess liver fire, the child may become irritable; if there is excess heart fire, the child may have difficulty sleeping; and if there is fire in the spleen and stomach, it may manifest as bad breath or indigestion, among other symptoms.
