Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, our child eats their hands before bed. How should it be treated? Looking forward to your answer. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Biting nails not only causes nail damage but also leads to other clinical symptoms. Some children who bite their nails often accompany facial muscle yellowing, abdominal distension, visible blue veins, insufficient diet, a preference for five flavors, restlessness at night, bruxism, dry or runny stools (such as sheep dung), yellow urine or prolonged urination, yellow or greasy tongue, slippery pulse, and symptoms of spleen and stomach disharmony and insect-induced jaundice. The rest are children who bite their nails. Children may also exhibit irritability, white eyes, red tongue, wiry red pulse, and constipation with red characteristics, indicating liver fire drying blood and blood dryness. Poor nutrition is natural, and the older the child, the better.
