What should I do if my child is afraid of cold?

Some children nowadays are afraid of cold, which is due to spleen deficiency. They can eat some yam to replenish blood if they are lacking in blood. Children are the pride of their parents. If there is a problem with them, such as being afraid of the cold, there are many reasons. The editor has found some information about children's fear of the cold and would like to share it with you.

This condition may be related to an underactive thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located in the front and lower part of the trachea in the neck, weighs about 20 to 40 grams, and is the largest endocrine gland in the human body. The thyroid hormone secreted by the thyroid gland is involved in the metabolism of various substances in the body and has a direct impact on tissue differentiation, growth and development, and reproductive physiology. The development and maturation of the gonads and the maintenance of normal testicular spermatogenesis and menstrual function also require the presence of normal thyroid function. If the thyroid gland is underactive, slow metabolism may occur, causing the child to experience the following symptoms:

1. The child has a low body temperature, is less active, rarely cries or laughs, has a slow reaction to things, has a poor appetite, and has dry stools and constipation. 2. Physical growth slows down significantly, the child is short in stature, has short and thick limbs, has delayed bone age, and has a duck-like gait.

3. Obvious intellectual development disorder, dull expression, low intelligence, and difficulty in learning simple numerical calculations. 4. Having a special facial appearance: swollen face, flat nose, wide eyes, big tongue, thick lips, protruding and flowing, and a silly look.

Winter is here. Due to low thyroid levels, children's metabolism is slow and they often feel chills and cold. No matter how much clothes they wear, they will look pale and shiver often. And you can feel that the child's body temperature is obviously low.

If a child is afraid of cold, no treatment is needed unless the condition is severe. “If you want a child to be safe, you must keep him three parts hungry and cold.” Medically speaking, children's fear of cold usually has yang deficiency, and they should be treated with medicines such as Fuzi Lizhong Pills or Guifu Lizhong Pills. However, children's innate yang has not been broken, and if they often take pungent and warm yang-boosting foods such as Fuzi, it will easily damage their innate yang. When they grow up, their yang will be more deficient and they will be more afraid of cold. Therefore, it is recommended not to treat it for the time being, and it should be able to get better when it grows up. The most important thing is to keep a regular schedule and eat regularly. Do not believe advertisements and buy so-called nutritional supplements.

This is the information the editor found. I believe you will understand it after reading it. Whether it is to replenish blood for children or buy medicine, you must consult a doctor before making a decision. After all, children are growing and developing, and it is not suitable for them to eat those messy nutritional supplements. As long as the diet is properly matched and the nutrition is balanced, it will be good for the child's body.
