Is a child's bad temper a disease?

Children nowadays are generally spoiled and have bad tempers. They will lose their temper at the slightest dissatisfaction with their current life, but this temper may be related to the child's physical discomfort. Especially when the child's body is getting angry, his temper will generally become irritable. This situation is actually a disease. We need to take the child to see a doctor in time. In short, the reasons for different bad tempers will also be different.

1. Children’s bad temper may be related to excessive liver fire

According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the "fire" in the human body is divided into heart fire and liver fire. Some people have a bad temper and become emotionally unstable when they are provoked. This is a manifestation of liver fire. Excessive liver fire does not only occur in adults, children also often have this symptom. Specific symptoms include hyperactivity, irritability, red eyes, dry mouth, bitter taste in the mouth, increased eye discharge, and sometimes blurred vision. The child is afraid of heat and likes to kick off the quilt when sleeping. When liver fire is severe, you may even cough up or vomit blood.

2. Causes of excessive liver fire in children

1. The main reason for children's liver fire is dietary factors. According to the dietary habits of Chinese residents, dishes are often prepared by stir-frying, frying, and deep-frying, which use a lot of edible oils and high temperatures, which can easily produce some harmful toxins and lead to excessive liver fire. In addition, there are some ingredients that are easy to cause internal heat, such as chicken, beef, and mutton. Children's own metabolic capacity is weak. If they consume a lot of food, it may cause liver fire.

2. Emotional factors can also cause children to have liver fire. Children nowadays are the treasures of the family. It is very easy for them to develop overbearing personalities because of the doting of their parents and people around them. They believe that all their needs must be met and they must get them immediately. Once some unreasonable requests are rejected by parents, children are prone to lose their temper and get angry. According to traditional Chinese medicine, this causes stagnation in the body, which in turn leads to liver fire.

3. Some diseases sometimes cause children to have liver fire. This is mainly because the disease is not well treated in the later stages, causing the disease to affect the liver. Such as some febrile diseases, upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, etc. Therefore, after the surface symptoms of some diseases disappear, it is necessary to continue consolidation treatment for a period of time, both to avoid recurrence of the disease and to reduce damage to other organs.

3. What to do if your child has excessive liver fire

1. Control your diet. Let your children eat more green vegetables and fruits, and mainly light food, which can effectively reduce the "fire" in the body and alleviate the symptoms of liver heat. Eat less fried and spicy foods that may cause your baby to get angry.

2. Get more rest. Nighttime sleep is the best time for the body to recover. Let your baby develop a good schedule.

3. Excrete on time. Let your child defecate on time every day, the best time is in the morning, so as to prevent excrement from staying in the baby's body for too long and causing toxin accumulation.
