How to distinguish children with excessive liver fire?
1. Not sleeping soundly
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, if a baby cannot sleep or sleep soundly, it is mainly due to excessive liver fire. If infants and young children aged 0-6 experience "heart fire and liver heat", they will have prominent symptoms in sleep, such as difficulty falling asleep, excessive sweating after falling asleep, restless sleep, and easy waking up. The main method of reducing liver fire is to have a cool diet that soothes the liver and clears heat.
2. Constipation with dry and yellowish stools
Baby's liver fire is mostly caused by excessive consumption of spicy and hot foods, leading to heat accumulation in the intestines and stomach. Internal heat in the body can easily cause dryness of the intestines, constipation, and a decrease in urine volume due to a lack of water in the body, resulting in a yellowish color. At this time, parents should control their children's diet and focus on light and low calorie foods to avoid prolonged constipation, which can lead to the baby being affected by toxins for a long time, causing a decline in immunity and affecting normal physiological activities and physical development.
What should I do if my child's liver fire is strong?
1. Control children's snacks: If a child has excessive liver fire, parents should control their snacks, eat less melon seeds and other shelled foods, and try to avoid braised and fried foods.

Rubbing the abdomen can improve the peristalsis of the intestines and enhance the secretion ability of gastrointestinal organs. At the same time, you can listen to more music that makes people feel happy and regulate their emotions.
