Question
What to Do When Your Son Has a ‘Fire’?
Answer
The term ‘having a fire’ in children is a very common expression, but there is no such term in medical science. ‘Having a fire’ primarily refers to the child’s manifestation of feverish symptoms, such as dry stools, throat inflammation, red lips, and irritability. The condition of ‘having a fire’ also depends on the characteristics of different organs; if there is liver fire, it may result in irritability; if there is heart fire, the child may sleep restlessly; if there is fire in the spleen and stomach, it may cause halitosis and indigestion, among other symptoms.
