Nowadays, many parents put their children at the forefront of their hearts, and when their children get sick, adults become extremely nervous. Some children may experience damp heat, so how is damp heat caused in children?
Dampness and heat in children may be caused by both internal and external factors, namely internal and external dampness. External dampness is mainly related to the environment in which children live. When a child grows up in a humid environment and gets caught in rain or cold, dampness can invade their body, known as external dampness. If a child has damp heat caused by external dampness, it is relatively easy to remove dampness.
In addition, children with damp heat may also have internal dampness. Children with internal dampness are mainly caused by problems with the spleen, such as spleen and stomach injury, spleen deficiency, inability to transport and dissolve water and dampness, endogenous dampness stagnation, and damp heat. Generally, external dampness is the cause of internal dampness. When a child only has external dampness and parents do not take effective measures, external dampness may transform into internal dampness.
If a child has damp heat, they may experience heavy head and body fatigue, especially after noon when their body occasionally heats up. In addition, children with damp heat are also prone to acne, as damp heat can easily cause phlegm coagulation and blood stasis. Furthermore, children with damp heat may experience bad breath, bitter taste, dry mouth, and sticky stool.
