Question
If a child’s palm feels hot and is accompanied by red dots, does it require medical treatment? How long will it take to see improvement after treatment? Please provide professional advice.
Answer
A child’s hot palm with red dots may be related to yin deficiency and blood heat, caused by insufficient yin leading to the outward flow of yang, which in turn causes blood heat, manifesting as a hot palm and red dots. It is recommended to try using cooling medicine, and consider the possibility of a vitamin B complex deficiency. To rule out bleeding disorders, a blood routine examination is suggested. If the child is uncomfortable, they should be taken to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination.
