When a child is just born, the liver in the body has not yet fully developed, and sometimes internal heat can occur due to various external reasons. The child will feel uncomfortable, and parents will also feel heartbroken. So, when a child experiences internal heat, what are the specific symptoms and how should they regulate their internal heat?
Firstly, when a child experiences internal heat, it indicates that their heart fire is strong and their tongue will turn red. This indicates that the child has an internal heat and is prone to thirst and difficulty sleeping at night. At this time, parents can give their children some fresh lotus seeds, bamboo shoots, etc. These are all foods that clear heat and dispel fire.
Secondly, the child may also experience yellow urine with a small amount, as well as dry and hard stools. Children will show pain when they smell bad. You can give your children some light Congee, such as millet porridge, lily Congee, etc. Finally, children may also experience bad breath, which is a symptom of excessive stomach fire caused by improper daily diet.
Moreover, children may find it difficult to fall asleep at night, causing distress and sweating in their palms. They may also develop sores on their mouth and tongue, and may be unwilling to drink water due to pain. At this time, parents should take their children to the hospital for examination to see if there are any oral ulcers, and in terms of diet, they should give their children more fruits and vegetables that can reduce internal heat. At night, give your child a proper massage using traditional Chinese medicine techniques.
