Why is my baby's forehead cold?

Parents attach great importance to their baby's health and always take extra care of them. If something goes wrong, they will become very nervous. If they find that their baby's forehead is cold, they will be very worried, but they can't find the real cause of the illness. In fact, this situation is mainly due to some problems inside the baby's body. If it continues for a long time, it will lead to physical weakness.

People with this physical condition are more susceptible to Yin evils such as cold and dampness. After being affected by these evils, they often show symptoms of cold and deficiency. The superficial symptoms can easily spread to the inside or directly affect the internal organs. They are prone to frostbite in winter. Internal injuries and miscellaneous diseases are mostly caused by symptoms of Yin excess and Yang deficiency. They are prone to symptoms such as dampness stagnation, edema, phlegm and blood stasis.

Since people with this constitution have weak Yang Qi, long-term development of this condition can easily lead to Yang deficiency, weak organ functions, and endogenous water and dampness, thus forming the common clinical pathological constitutions such as Yang deficiency, phlegm and dampness, and water retention.
