If your child’s face turns yellow, this is how you should treat it!

Some children are pink and tender when they are young and very cute. But as they grow up, parents will find that the children are not hungry. Sometimes they even seem to eat well, but their complexion becomes yellow and dull. Parents may think that their children are not getting enough nutrition, so they try to supplement them. In fact, if you don’t regulate the child’s spleen and stomach, no amount of supplements will be of any use.

A yellow complexion may be caused by a weak spleen and stomach

Children's weak spleen and stomach are mostly caused by long-term irregular diet, excessive consumption of raw and cold foods, long-term use of antibiotics or certain diseases (such as chronic pneumonia). Children with weak spleen and stomach often have yellow complexion or uneven facial pigmentation (spotted appearance), sparse hair, weight loss, brittle and thin nails with white spots, and frequent paroxysmal umbilical pain that varies in severity. Children with weak spleen and stomach and internal cold have a good appetite, but have frequent and large bowel movements, and have diarrhea right after eating. Children with weak spleen and stomach and internal heat have a poor appetite and dry stools (once every two or three days). This is mostly caused by eating too many snacks or drinking too much milk.
