Patient's question:
The child's palm is hot and has red spots, do they need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to improve with treatment? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Based on the current symptoms exhibited by the child, it is considered a case of yin deficiency and blood heat. The weakness of yin qi leads to the inability to contain yang qi, resulting in its external leakage, which manifests as blood heat. This causes the child to become irritable, with warm palms accompanied by red spots. It is recommended to try some cooling foods to see if it helps, as it could also be due to a deficiency in the B vitamins. However, it is still advisable to get a blood test done to rule out any bleeding disorders. If the child continues to feel uncomfortable, it is recommended to take them to a regular, professional hospital for examination.
