What are the symptoms of excessive liver fire in children?

The problem of liver fire in children cannot be ignored, because it will also affect the healthy growth of children. It often causes children to have symptoms such as restless sleep, constipation, hot palms and soles, and internal heat.

1. Symptoms of excessive liver fire in babies: restless sleep. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the main reason why babies cannot fall asleep or sleep restlessly is that their liver fire is too strong. If infants and young children aged 0-6 years old have "heart fire and liver heat", they will have more prominent symptoms in sleep, such as difficulty falling asleep, sweating after falling asleep, restless sleep, and easy waking up. To reduce liver fire, the main method is to use a cool diet that calms the liver and clears heat.

2. Symptoms of excessive liver fire in babies: constipation and dry and yellow urine and feces. Excessive liver fire in babies is mostly caused by excessive consumption of spicy and hot foods, which leads to heat accumulation in the stomach and intestines. The internal heat of the body can easily cause dry intestines and hard stools. The urine volume is reduced due to loss of body water, and the color becomes yellow. At this time, parents should control their children's diet and focus on light and heat-reducing foods to prevent long-term constipation from causing the baby to be harmed by toxins for a long time, causing a decrease in immunity, and affecting normal physiological activities and physical development.

3. Symptoms of excessive liver fire in babies: hot palms and soles of feet. Hot and sweaty palms of babies are often caused by excessive heat in the body and internal heat. Children's metabolism is vigorous, blood circulation is accelerated, and the body produces more heat that needs to be dissipated through the body surface. Children may feel their body temperature is higher and their palms are warmer. Normally, when a child's palms are hot, they will not feel any other discomfort. If the child has a fever, the heat in the palms will be more obvious. Parents should make sure their children drink plenty of water and eat more foods that clear away heat and reduce internal heat. At the same time, they should maintain the indoor temperature and humidity, not make the house too hot, and add or remove clothes for their babies in a timely manner.

4. Symptoms of excessive liver fire in babies: bad breath and increased eye discharge. If the baby has increased eye secretions, mothers should not be careless. If eye diseases are ruled out, it is usually caused by the baby's liver fire. If a baby has bad breath, it also indicates that the baby's constitution tends to be dry and hot. It is worth noting that if the baby has excessive eye mucus for a long time, it is easy for bacteria to invade and cause sty (a common eye disease in babies), so mothers should pay attention to letting the baby eat more heat-removing foods to improve the body's constitution that is prone to heat.

5. Signs of excessive liver fire in babies: emotional fluctuations. Children tend to be more impatient, prone to temper tantrums, and stubborn. If the baby has obvious symptoms of the above, it is generally due to heart fire and liver heat. According to the child's constitution, you can use methods to clear the heart and calm the liver to regulate the body.
